Hi Paul,
Thanks for the update.

We use Sony Mavica's here at work. Being able to use normal floppies is a
big bonus, but the one in our Mantainance Control that is used by every man
and his dog is on it's third disk drive in about 18 months. As with most
consumer products, they aren't built for rough and careless handling. The
ones we use are 1024x768, which is about a minimum for decent qualtity
pictures.

Mark do you print the pictures or send them over the internet.
1024 x 768 sounds like that would make real big jpg's. I could
be wrong.

Paul,

We have Sony, Toshiba, Samsung, and Fujufilm digital cameras.  Which ones
are you interested in?  The big Toshiba does 2400 X 1800 resolution.

I got the cheap ($500) Sony FD73. 640 X 480 10X optical zoom which is very important 
for me as I do close ups of engine parts. Works great! See the pictures
of my dogs I uploaded :-) I love the floppy feature. I can stick it
in my Linux computer and type mcopy a:*.* and all 40 pictures or so are
instantly downloaded to my hard disk. No special programs or cable required.
I love it. GQview, a free program that comes with Linux, has a view thumb nail
picture feature which works great for a quick view.
