I was out of town and just catching up...  

I have a Sony Mavica.  My reasons for this choice is no reliance on any "port"
type; it uses standard floppies.

But the real benefit of this choice is seen when "out in the field"...  unlike
the port-based cameras, I can keep shooting without the need to find a
compatible computer to upload images to free up space to continue shooting...   
If I run out of "film", no problem...  just pick up more floppies and keep
shooting...  besides, this lets me keep the floppies like I would negatives or
slides without risking losing all in a HD crash.

Another benefit was that I already had a Sony Digital video which uses the same
battery...  so now, I can be recharging one in my car (using an inverter) and
thus have virtually no camera downtime.

Just wanted to point out that there are non-technology issues to picture
taking...

HTH,
Pierre
