Well that has not been the experience with my Nikon coolpix or any of the Canons I looked at. They take a standard compact flash memory card and standard AA batteries. I use the rechargeable nimh AA batteries, in fact my camera came with energizer batteries. Here is a great article about compact flash memory. http://www.steves-digicams.com/high-capacity_storage.html Olympus uses smart media cards which are a little more expensive (I own an Olympus digital as well). They are making Compact flash in all sorts of memory range. I have a 128 card in my camera and with 2 megapixels I get about 160 pictures. Plenty for me! visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com One of the main reasons I haven't bought a digital camera is that I haven't found one with the features I want and that uses regular AA and memory cards. Sony, Nikon and many others all use proprietary stuff. HP, Kodak and others do use generic batteries and memory, but tend to lack the other features. Sigh... In time... *************************************************************************** *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
