OT: Digital camera, SanDisk, and Debian
Off-topic, but who better to ask than you folks?
I'm interesting in getting a digital camera. I figure the 2.x Megapixel
$200-$300 variety will be fine for my needs. I know next to nothing
about these little critters.
I stopped in at Circuit City the other day and learned that there appear
to be three basic types of storage medium: Compact Flash (CF), Smart
Media (SM), and Memory Stick. The guy I talked to said that Memory Stick
was Sony's, and was proprietary. If that's true, that pretty much turned
me off of Sony cameras.
Whereas I'd like to plug the camera directly into my Debian box (2.4
kernels, Sid), I'm not opposed to getting a card reader of some sort. I
saw a SanDisk ImageMate for $30 that reads both CF and SM cards. Sounds
like a pretty good deal.
Before I take the plunge, does anyone want to weigh in with their
opinion as to what to avoid, what to get, what to watch out for, etc?
I'd appreciate the input.
Thanks!
Kent
