I used the Sony Mavica FD7 for all my chile photos. It is a pleasure to
use. It stores about 20 photos per 3.5 floppy disk in fine mode (versus
standard mode which can fit 40) The really neat thing too is that you can
take pics of your friends, your friends' kids, dogs etc, then send them
home with the disk to pop right into their computer to view, or send to
others. At pennies a floppy, it is inexpensive data storage.

I bought my camera last 4th of July, since then Sony has come out with 3
newer models. I bought the digital mainly just for chile web photos, and
the lower resolution is just fine; 
though I do have my eye on the newer mega-pixel one complete with sound
bytes and 60 seconds of mpeg video... <sigh>
