Excuse me please if I reprise this subject but I still haven't got all the information I need and I wondered if some of the Digi-Cam owners have any comments re Systems. I think there are three types : Compact flash, SmartMedia, and Memory stick. Has anyone bought one of these and through experience thought 'I wish I'd bought X system'? Is 8Mb of memory sufficient if you are away from home with no computer access? I usually use two or three 12 exposure films on holiday. I under stand you can get 22 [email protected] 1Mpxl in high resolution. What would it be at medium res? Do I really need 2 Mpxl for snapping (only 8 piccies) Or is it really best to have removable memory. I gather that Compact Flash is the cheapest memory and Memory stick the dearest. Does anyone know the calculation formula to determine the number of frames per Mpxl per Mb You see I now know what questions to ask and its easier to martial ones thoughts at the keyboard than in a shop.

Jim I think my camera is compact flash and when I got it, it had 2MB which was nowhere near enough even for visiting friends. I bought 32 MB as soon as I could and use it on the highest settings. I have taken 100 photographs, and found it a great bind downloading them all, but am now using the camera software for this and it is much faster. I am entirely satisfied with my camera, although it is probably obsolete now, after 18 months. I wish I could totally understand how to ZOOM - it must do something, I think, but I haven't spent enough time on the instruction book.
