More pictures you can count on. I'll try for some gun porn later today when the lighting is better and Jilly isn't stomping through the shot. 1 Gig according to the counter the camera maintains means approximately 900 photos or 60 minutes of video can be recorded on the card. The batteries will give out long before the card does. Still, it's nice to not have to worry about clearing the memory (the Cannon with a 256Meg card would hold a hundred or so high-res photos). Another nice feature about this camera is that it allows you to set (in the cameras menu) whether it looks like a camera or a USB drive to the computer, which means you can skip the proprietary camera software and just click and drag the photos to a directory if you prefer. Most important to us is that the camera is about half the thickness of our old camera, and a little less than half the weight. It lacks some of the features, but this one will fit in a shirt pocket nicely. As I've decided to grab an SLR type digital camera at some point in the future having a bare bones point and shoot digital camera is a plus. All in all I'm pleased. It's just about what I was looking for, and the price is hard to beat.

You work out the bugs? Does this mean more pictures? With the 1gig card you should be set for a while, no? Looks good so far.
