Avantages of removable cards. With my 64MB card for my camera I can have over 300 pictures on it. I can remove it from the camera and work on the picture when I have time, wile some one else can take the camera and use it. This has come in handy when one of the kids are about to leave for a few days there ride is waiting out side for them and on the way out the door they say can I take the camera. I have also seen cameras stop working then you end up with pictures you can not download. Also I use removable cards like big floppy disk to transfer large data and program files from one computer to another. > Just as Anne, I just plug in the camera > and off you go.

With the camera I would not only have to plug in USB cord but also have a plug for the AC power supply, or run the batteries down on the camera. -- Ray Hogaboom
