Sony Mavica's can be had for about $300.. I have one Olympus D400 Zoom and it works very well with gPhoto. It`s pretty old now, I`ve bought it two years ago. There are drivers to models until D450, but I guess newer ones can work with it. In addition to that there are drivers to many kinds of digital cameras, it`s worth looking there the site is www.gphoto.org HTH, Rafael Sasaki

Personally, I say forget OS support. Buy a pcmcia card that will support the removable media of your camera. You then just pop the card in and it looks like another harddrive in FAT format. Copy, delete, whatever your files and be done with it. After you have the images copied over there are plenty of tools to do things like photo books, galleries etc. At least here in the U.S. the pcmcia card is very cheap, cost me like $10 for a Compact Flash reader. There are also adapters for Smart Media. Even ones that look like 3.5 Floppies.
