Think its 375 for the package (with pcmcia) and 355 for oem version at Storage Studio, SLS.

But hmm... Is it still worth it to get a Microdrive, considering that 512MB cards are cheaper right now?

I'm using a D1X with 1GB microdrive and i'm very pleased with the capacity and bang for $$. 1GB CF card is becoming popular but really a rip off for your pocket unless u really got spare cash. I guess i can buy 2 1GB microdrive with that amount for a 1GB CF card. Actually also depend on what resolution u gonna take,if u are using digital DSLR and snapping in the RAW format, u really need as much capacity u can get. But if u are not a trigger happy snapper and have a few cf card with u, i guess a 512MB cf card will be sufficient. Hope that helps! : )

Still microdrive is the best for my needs and value for my money.

It's a 1Gb Microdrive against a 512Mb CF for the difference of $55.00++ why not???

Oops. 512Mb CF price taken out. I thought I saw it was $258.00 & 1Gb Microdrive $355.00
So difference is about $97.00 +/-
