Hello everybody, I'm the collections manager of the archaeology collections at the Fort Hood Army Installation, Killeen, TX. We too have been considering a digital camera. The one we have been seriously looking at is the NEW Sony Mavica Digital Camera. This camera uses a standard 3.5in floppy disk to store JPEG compressed images. The disk can then be taken out of the camera and inserted directly into a Mac or pc. No cables to unplug and no rebooting the system. Check out the info at the MacWeek home page--http://www8.zdnet.com/macweek/mw_1124/sony.jpg--and if not there, try the Sony Home page. Ian McGuire [log in to unmask]
