was pre-formatted to fat32.unlike some drives i've encountered, it was free of useless autorun junk, which is always a good thing.
from scrambled, www.newegg.com

SanDisk Cruzer Micro

$63.00 Est. at Amazon

from Salku, www.newegg.com
i take it everywhere i go and also work with this flash drive as my main folder when i work in the office.
from www.amazon.com
just had to format it before using - the program inside is only for pc and makes impossible filling it up.
from www.amazon.com
i settled on this particular flashdrive because it was competively priced, and i felt the retractable format was more practical than a usb cap.
from crazyTSUstudent, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: it comes from the factory formatted in fat32, but i never use macs so just reformatted in ntfs and i haven't had a single problem.
from www.amazon.com
formatting will eat up some space on any drive, flash or other; so you'll never get the full 16 gigs with any 16 gig flash drive.

it's not going to have greater quality than an average class 2 sd card, it records still images a great deal faster and has a lot of room to do so (something very useful if you save in raw format).
from Cook, www.newegg.com
also, i read these reviews and wonder how many people simply stick the card into their cameras without formatting it.
