        The Sony Mavicas are nice for LINUX.  They take their pictures
onto a floppy disk or CDRW.  Not a cheap camera, however.  One camera shop
guy I talked with doesn't like the Sonys. The Sony file format is a
standard format (jpeg, if I remember right).  The floppy-based cameras use
an MS-DOS formatted floppy.  I think the CDRW uses ISO9660, but I don't
know for sure.  I have heard of USB-attached digital cameras that LINUX
likes, but I don't have any firsthand knowledge about these.

                                        Hope this helps,
