You must have a smaller microdrive ;-)  I can fit over 1000 on my Casio 2800 on
the 1Gig microdrive at max size.

you take pictures at half resolution (1024x768) which is fine for most
computer applications, you can fit 78 pictures on the card that comes with
the camera.

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.

(...) 340mb, yeah. I'm thinking of getting a larger Microdrive when I get a PocketPC unit that supports them, but I will still use the 340mb for the camera unless I have a storage "emergency". (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
