With the mini drives you have the battery drain, mechanical noise (that quiet "whirr" you hear on home movies) and stability (if the camera gets hit hard you'll likely smash the drive, making the camera worthless). I'm curious, though... I wouldn't want one 8G card, I'd want perhaps four 2G cards RAIDed togethere. Bandwidth problems sovled, and the price of 4 2Gs is noticably less than one 8G.
