Mavicas do indeed use regular floppies, and pix come out quite nicely. I
would love to get one for Christmas myself, but they seem to be in $600+
range, so I'd have to be utterly saintly to get that :) Pix appear to be
about 80K jpegs (YMMV) so you can fit quite a few on a single floppy (only
to discover that the floppy is bad ;)
