Thanks Dan,
I just placed an order. Beat Best Buy by 30+% and free shipping.

That's a good deal to me Dan. I've been looking for some for my Clie and I think that might be worth purchasing.

If you haven't gotten one already, consider one of the USB memory stick readers - sure beats having to hook your camera up to your computer to get the images out.

DH has this camera and loves it! He says go to
www.pricewatch.com
to do a search, but he really has had good luck with
www.newegg.com
or
www.mwave.com

I got one of these when I got the camera. It is basically a reader that plugs into the USB port of your computer and then you slide your memory stick in just like you would a diskette. Then you can transfer files from Memory Stick to computer and not have to plug in the camera and waste the battery power. Well worth the money.

It's a device that has a slot for the memory stick (or compact flash or whatever type of memory you have or even sometimes all of the above) that plugs into the USB port on your pc so you take the memory card out of the camera and pop it into the reader that acts like a drive for your computer so you can transfer images. I have one for my pc and my dad has a slot built into his laptop so whenever he needs a file that I have, I transfer it to the memory stick & bring it to him so he can upload it to his pc - it's easier than burning the data to a cd and more economical if there isn't enough to fill an entire disc.
