Digital Camers



Ok, that was strange...
here is what I had actully typed:

Well for images staying on the computer 1.3megapixels is plenty (my old 
Cannon is only 1.3 and the pictures it takes are 1280x960.  If your going to 
print those out at 300dpi it's about 4x3 inches which is a fairly normal size 
for a snapshot.  So unless your going to try printing really large pictures 
2.1 should be plenty.

On a releated note... does anyone know of a combo smartmedia and compaq flash 
reader that runs works on Linux?  (preferably USB)
