USB SD Card

SanDisk have developed an SD card with a bit that hinges over and reveals a USB plug.
A shame our D70's can't take SD, but it'll be great for the other boxes that can.

Mind you, looking at the shots of it (they look computer generated to me!) and knowing how thing SD is, I highly doubt that the USB adapter will be all that well made and will just be thin card-like bottom of the adapter that slots in... you'd have to be very careful with the plug on that one... but still, 'tis a good idea.

Looks ok Leigh and yes would be a great idea, save the hassles if you dont have a card reader. My Fuji has 2 card options it takes an XDPicture card and compact flash in camera which is handy at times as i fill 1 card i just swap over to the other card.
