YMMV. :) More megapixels help, at least when you want GIANT resolution (like, 1600x1200). Check for good zoom, good indoor and outdoor capabilities, and flash. Also good if you can adjust exposure. > * Uses compact flash (the little wafers, each as large as an air-mail stamp) Those aren't compact flash. CF are the big squarish ones. (They also come in micro-hard-drive flavors of up to 1GB, as well as other devices like ethernet, modem, bluetooth, wireless, etc.) The wafer ones are probably SmartMedia, like my Olympus D-620L uses. They're practically thinner than a credit card, and a little bigger than a postage stamp. CF cards (type-I) are almost as thick as a pencil. Type-2 are thicker. Finally, SD cards are about 2/3rd as thick as a CF card, and a little smaller than a SmartMedia card. If I had all three of them, and a ruler handy, I'd measure them for you. I can if you'd like, or I can just show them all to you at Tuesday's LUGOD. > * Complete Linux compatibility with OSS drivers Check PhotoPC and GPhoto for compatibility lists for cameras. That's what lead me to my choice of the Olympus I got. I'd like a smaller camera now, though... one I can stick in my pocket (rather than wear like a giant Flava-Flave clock around my neck :^) ) > * Linux-friendly manufacturer Good luck. :^/ HP maybe?
