[Techtalk] Recommendations for digital cameras

[Elwing]

I have an older camera (Nikon CoolPix 885) which uses Compact Flash  
cards.  I never plug the camera directly into the computer because  
the battery life is so bad on it.  I have a CF to PCMCIA adapter, and  
Debian Linux sees it as a removable file system (Fat32/Vfat) without  
any special configuration. (/dev/hdc1 in my case)

As for how I like the camera - It's old :)  I need 3-4 batteries to  
last through a day of sightseeing, and it takes about 10-15 seconds  
to "boot up" to take pictures.  I'm pretty sure that the new coolpixs  
are much better than mine, but mine works, and I'm too cheap to buy a  
new one yet :)
Takes beautiful pictures though.
