Title: Works great, but not without drawbacks
Product review: This is amazing technology. The read-out on my Canon S10 indicates that I'll be able to store over 500 photos in high resolution setting on the microdrive. That's great, except for two major problems. One, the drive eats power like there's no tomorrow. I run out of battery power (with the display turned off!) about twice as quickly as a regular compact flash card. I'm not sure I can recharge the battery fast enough to ever get anywhere near 500 pictures taken. Most of the power drain would seem to be related to the second drawback. The drive runs extremely hot, which makes my camera very uncomfortable to hold. Not just warm, but hand-me-a-napkin-to-hold-the-camera-while-I-take-this-picture hot. If you really need the storage capacity, this might be the solution, but you better have plenty of batteries (and a potholder) handy if you plan on taking lots of pictures.
