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.

My card reader is plugged in all of the time. 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.
