Title: Smart Media is a poor choice
Review: Nice camera. It'd be on my list if it only used Compact Flash memory cards. Smart Media is much smaller in capacity (128mb vs over 1000mb). This is a very important consideration when looking at any camera which produces such large image files. Smart Media isn't very smart. Since unlike Compact Flash it has no onboard controller. (meaning fatal error happen much more often). Transfer speed is much slower. How long do you wish to wait between shots? The slower the memory card, the longer the wait. And including a measly 16mb memory stick is a JOKE on a 4 megapixel camera. It can hold 2-3 raw images. Also in a camera costing this much, rechargable batteries and a charger should be standard (and for many other cameras it is).
Is the review positive or negative?
