Wheeee!  Always wanted Sony to get off its butt and do this, but I'll
take one from Panasonic at $899.

Digital Camera (only 1.3 megapixels, but oh well) that uses the 120mb
SuperDisk (and also can use floppies evidently).

The only downside the article mentions is the cost of a SuperDisk
drive for your computer (about $200) but that seems like a non-issue
since the camera comes with a USB cable.  Why bother with a drive?

Now I'm going to have to do some serious thinking.  Go with this and
have ultra cheap 120mb disks to use, or keep waiting for a 2+
megapixel camera that comes with IBM's new Micro-drive?

The parts you want and nothing else?

(...) How fast does it transfer data via USB? 120mb is a lot to move. (...) I'm really happy with my new coolpix 950. It uses compact flash, which currently goes up to 160mb. (And unlike smartmedia, you don't need to upgrade your camera to use new (...) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.publish)
