Not quite. It won't store high quality video that blu-ray is capable
of. Blu-Ray (and HD-DVD) are supposedly able to support size into
100's of GB and the cost per discs are just pocket change compared to
$100 for a 16GB card.
Even 2 dual layer DVD+R are cheaper than a 16GB card by almost $95.
The difference alone would more than pay off a new DVD burner plus a
few more dual layer discs. Imagine you need to make 100GB in bavckup.
Would you rather spend only about $50 for 12 dual layer DVDs or $700
for 7 cards? I'll bet the blu-ray and hd-dvd would be cheaper for
backing up 100+ GB than the flash card.
The flash card is fine for digital camera (both point and shoot and
video) and other mobil devices but it will not replace the blu-ray and
hd-dvd for video playback and file storeage and archival.
