Ditto on the batteries - digicams eat them like popcorn. Here's a good site

78 - not bad. :) At full resolution (2048x1536) I get 245 with my Casio
3000 and microdrive. At half resolution I think I can fit just under 1000.
I think the Nikon's are awesome cameras, maybe even a little better
quality-wise than the 3000 (the 990 anyway). But they were dumb in not
making them able to use CF II cards. To get the kind of space I wanted so I
wouldn't have to worry about dumping pics during the middle of a vacation
day I would have had to spend hundreds more on a couple of 128mb CF cards.
