Message	THE SONY FD90 is capable of.... Digital photos of floppy disk AND,,,also memory stick...YES..both..incorporated in 1 camera..also..can record 6 minutes of MPEG movie!!!! ALSO....yes..ALSO...the MEMORY STICK thats made for the sony can be interchanged into different types of media!!! such as..MP3,CD Music, MPEG Video, Digital Pictures..and...and....PC/MAc softwear programs.. NOW..you ask..how does SONY do this... In January...SONY will introduce to THE WORLD...a 256MB MEMORY STICK..YES..two hundred and fiftysix MEGS!!! All their 2001 computers with have a memoey stick drive! Ans soon...a memory stick personal walkman. SO...as i said.... Flexibility...Flexibility!!!!!! oh yeah....Aiwa, Kenwood, Pioneer, Sanyo Electric, Sharp and Fujitsu are right NOW...signing up for licenses to use this exact memory stick patent from sony! : My 2 year old Olympus 400z can take over 200+ shots (most with flash) without a change of batteries. If I didn't want toys for the Z (hehe) I'd get a Nikon Coolpix 990 right now. The newer models of the 400z are within the 300-400 dollar range now. : Using a SmartMedia reader that plugs into the USB port I can send an entire 32MB card to the computer in less than a minute. Thing is, I have yet to fill a 32MB card up.. thats like 400+ 640x480 shots or 130-something at 1280x1024. I got the 32MB card for about 50 bucks. Last I heard a high-density floppy can only hold 1.44 MB.. How many images can fit on that? : Oh, and I haven't lost a card yet either. I'd rather keep a bunch of stamp sized memory cards with my little camera pouch instead a bunch of floppies. : All's I can say is don't fall for that Mavica stuff. And that CD recording one is a joke. : Friend of mine (who is VERY picky) bought a Mavica S70 and returned within a few days for a Coolpix 990. Said the S70 was SHITTY.
