Sony always uses their own proprietory format so I wouldn't go for a sony camera as you can't use the mem card anywhere else (like in an MP3 player for example). Smart Media is the cheapest but is not available in as large capacity as Compact Flash or Secure Digital. Secure Digital is probably the future as it is smaller in dimensions than Compact Flash....so try looking for a camera with Secure Digital or Compact Flash.
...I'll just have a look at that link...
err the site you linked is your other discussion thread...where's the actual camera site?

Whoops, sorry about that!
This is the camera site I was meant to link! (click on "Products - Cameras - Digital")
I'm thinking about getting one of the following:
Olympus C-350
Olympus C-220 Zoom
Any comments or suggestions on those cameras? [img]smile.gif[/img] Is it really worth getting a 3.2 MP camera if I'm not a camera enthusiast? I'm leaning slightly towards the C2 Zoom as it is cheaper.
Olympus C2 Zoom - $374 (AUD) $246 (USD) +
128mb SM card - $66 (AUD) $43 (USD)
=
$440 (AUD)
Sounds good, as the C-350 is $499 (AUD) without any cards!
BTW
I've seen lots of digi cameras advertising that they can
print out A3-A4 sized prints. What about just normal sized photos? How many shots could I fit on a 128mb card, that are just normal sized photos? As I'm going on a holiday shortly, and probably going to take heaps of shots, should I buy a massive storage card? More importantly, can the C220 Zoom even take bigger SM cards?
Just found this on the offical Olympus site (UK):
Number of storable frames with 8 MB SmartMedia card:
5 or more: SHQ 1,600 x 1,200 pixels
16 or more: HQ 1,600 x 1,200 pixels
29 or more: SQ1 1,024 x 768 pixels
49 or more: SQ2 640 x 480 pixels.
BTW (2)
When buying storage cards in general, does it matter if you get a third party one? I've been checking on the net and and have found that an official
Olympus SM card will set you back $209 (AUS) while a third party one will only cost $66 (AUS) Whoa!

What's
panorama?
