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 PS: Why am I getting [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the headers when replying...??
