The best quality pictures are taken in the un-compressed tiff format. The pictures take up a lot of space at this setting. For casual pictures the jpeg setting on any decent mega-pixel camera will give you great results. I believe the Nikon you mentioned also does mpeg as well. The one thing all the cameras seem to have in common is that they suck the juice from the batteries at an extremely high rate. Go with rechargeable batteries, some cameras have a rechargeable battery pack built in. I have a Sony Cybershot but I have never tried importing photos from it with Linux but it should work like any other USB storage device. I use my Apple machine to get my photos of the camera so I never got around to trying it with Linux. -- Ray Russell Mac OS X 10.2.1 _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
