I must say that if you're getting 40 pictures on a floppy, the quality is
not going to be up to par with what I'm used to (my photos are half a meg
each).  In the digital camera world, quality is defined by how large a file
the camera can create.  These numbers are usually given for TIFF files, and
JPEGs are maybe a tenth that big, but my camera makes 550k JPG files, and
the Mavica apparently makes 35k files.  Most of my files, when quartered in
size and compressed by a factor of 8 for the web are reduced to about 50k,
and they look OK on a computer screen.  But when it comes to photos that I
want to print out and keep, I need all the pixels I can find.    But if it
works for you, that's great, and it may be the most wonderful camera on the
planet for throwing web photos out there...
