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.

I guess if it's the floppy aspect that's important, you went with the right
one.  But, you could have had the 1600 X 1200 toshiba for the same price
with a 1.8" color display on the back.  Less zoom though.

That optical zoom is key to my use.
