Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 267606, member: 4552"]Thought I'd throw in that I have a Fuji S7000, S9000, Sony Mavica FD7 and FD88, Cannon S410, and a DXG what ever that is. Naturally I wouldn't list about 20 film cameras. The Sony's take proprietary batteries that cost about $35 each but I picked up extras at the flea markets for $10. The Canon also has a proprietary rechargable battery and I have no back up for that. The Fuji's and DXG take AA standard batteries. My favorite is the Fuji S7000. Holds two memory cards. One Compact Flash of 2 gig capacity and a stupid XD card which is not the most common but has 512 MB capacity. It goes up to 12 Megapixels but I leave it set at 6.3 or 3.1 most of the time. At 6.3 I  can take a few thousand photos with out changing cards. One more thing about a camera is the outer lens. Check if it has a threaded ring for additional filters. If so you can have a ball with some trick lenses and/or filters. For example I have some that split the images into 2, 3, 5 and put together make a real pile of images. A filter ring size of 49, 52, 55 are very standard for filters.[/QUOTE]
