According to Designtechnica, SanDisk has announced a 2 GB SD card. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first 2 GB SD card on the market. It’s supposed to ship next month for a list price of $200.
The largest SD cards currently shipping are 1 GB models, and their prices have been in a freefall lately, dropping from $150 a few months ago to as low as $50 after rebates.
Sandisk also announced 4 GB Memory Stick PRO and 1 GB Memory Stick Duo cards for $800 and $205, respectively.

Since all of the big Photokina camera announcements seem to be out (Canon 1Ds, Nikon D2X, Fuji S3, and a couple thousand point-and-shoots), I figure it’s time for me to post my list of what I’d like to see the camera industry provide. I’ve been thinking about most of these for years. In that time, I’ve seen new cameras come and go, but I haven’t seen a whole lot of real innovation, particularly in the DSLR space, where all of the manufacturer’s effort has been focused on image size and speed.
None of these ideas are mind-bogglingly fantastic; some of them are admittedly a bit marginal. Some of them may well be bad ideas–I’d be amazed if at least some of these haven’t been tried out in the labs and found wanting. I haven’t seen any of these discussed widely online, though, so I figured I should probably share them.
