I saw a digital camera with 2 memory card slots, and I can't remember which one it was. The review said that it was possible to use up to 2 80mb cards. Can anyone help. Thanks, Rob

A bunch of cameras have this feature now, I know canon 70 & S10/20 have it. Several others..

Also the Olympus c2500L - supports Type II card and Compact Flash simultaneously.

Sorry, the S10/20 doesn't support two memory cards, only the Type II Compact Flash cards. At the consumer level, the Oly C2500 will take two cards simultaneously, a SmartMedia and CompactFlash at the same time. I believe the only other consumer-level camera that'll take two cards is the Canon Pro70, which takes two CompactFlash cards. You can now get SmartMedia up to 64 MB, CompactFlash Type I up to ~128MB. The Pro 70 would thus let you carry up to 256MB onboard. For maximum memory space though, the IBM Microdrive still wins, at 340MB. This fits in cameras that take "Type II" COmpactFlash cards, which include the Canon S10/ S20, I *think* the Pro70, and the Casio QV-3000. The Kodak professional cameras (DCS 520, 620, 560, 660) all support dual CompactFlash cards. The Nikon D1 pro camera has a Type II slot. Hope this helps.
