When I worked at the Chamber of Commerce we got the Mavica that uses CDs for the reason that anyone can read a floppy or CD without needing to have special software. (I don't know about Macs though.) It had a macro mode, I called it "bug" mode that worked very well. When I get my own digital camera, I will very seriously consider gettting a Mavica. I photographed the lace edging that I did for Pauline's heart using the Mavica. You can see it on Lori's lacefairy site http://lace.lacefairy.com
I remember that the floppy version held about 10 high quality photos on a floppy (70? low quality pictures.) The CD held about 100 high quality pictures and 600 low quality ones. It was a 3.2 megapixel camera. Heavy, but nice. Hope this helps someone.
