they can only go up to 128 mb (granted, they make them now where you can flip a lil switch, and you get another 128, but still not a lot of storage). and they don't work with anything that isn't sony. I can take CF cards or SD cards and put pictures on my pocktPC."Mal nommer les choses, c'est accroître le malheur du monde" - Camus (thanks Davout)

In the last two days I've stopped by a total of 16 different stores so I can play around with the cameras and get a feel for the build quality, speed, and ease of use of various models. I've pretty much narrowed the field down to the Cannon S400 and the Olympus C-5060 Wide Angle. I like the larger Olympus's features and super fast speed but the Cannon is more in line with the size and function that I need. Throw on that the Cannon is $150 less and I think the Cannon is the camera for me.
Kaak: How much can you sell me a Cannon S400 for and will it have a US warrenty and will the power source be good for US electrical plugs? Also how much does a Cannon brand memmory card cost? The bigger the better. Thanks.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Actually I think that Sony must have been playing some catch up.
The newer cameras, such as mine support memory stick and memory stick pro, which can hold as much as a 1 gigabyte the last I checked.
Also memory sticks may only be compatable with Sony cameras (I don't know this for sure, just an assumption), but the readers can be used with any brand product. I just recently built a PC, and my mobo came with 5 in 1 card reader (including memory stick).

How do you transfer files from the camera to the computer? I assume there is some sort of wire you can buy or do you buy something the memory card plugs into?Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

I found the Cannon S400 at royalcamera.com for $358 plus shipping. It seems Dell is selling it for $409 so unless Kaak can get some sort of discount then royacamera maybe the best place to buy from.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

have you had any problems with your S200 Jon?
My S200 is what I used in San Diego. All my pictures got wiped out.
It seems to be my CF card though.
Whatever you get, don't get a ProMedia CF card 128 MB. I tried formatting just now (I haven't touched it since I got back from San Diego). Even after trying to format, I get a CF error.
I wonder if they have warrantees on such things. That's money down the drain. My CF card is unusable now.
