JVC debuts Everio camcorders with dual SD card slots
When you're shooting video, it's easy to fill up a memory card pretty quickly. To give yourself more time, you could buy bigger memory cards, though JVC has a different solution in some of its latest Everio camcorders: dual memory-card slots. Said to be the first-ever camcorders with two slots for SD/SDHC cards, they let you double your memory without buying expensive high-capacity cards. Recording is continuous, even when switching between cards.
Two cams in the new Everio line have dual slots: the high-def GZ-HM200 ($580) and the standard-def GZ-MS120 ($300). Both should be in stores by March.

I wonder if you can "RAID" the cards....

Raid? Why would you want to do that? You're one of those who stuck paper clips in the electrical outlet when you were young weren't you...
Writing across the cards is cool. Lets hope merging the files back together afterward to save onto disk is just as seamless. It probably uses the same basic segmentation as winzip or winrar.
My money says this is going to catch on and it will become the standard. Think how much more cards they'll sell just because they doubled the number you could use at one time. Thats an easy up-sell.
My Olympus digital camera uses CF/XD cards at the same time. Really handy.
on your cellphone!
