Digital Cameras

[Bradley Miller]

I don't know . . . I've got an Olympus 3000  (3.3mp) with the 
SmartMedia.  It seems like they change the standard every so often to keep 
things interesting.  I went with the SmartMedia over CompactFlash because 
of size and coolness factor.  I guess I got the "beta max" of memory . . . 
well, actually I think Sony's Memorystick should be that label.
