Now this is the message I've been waiting for. Last night I looked at a Nikon 2500 at Best Buy, and thought I would wait until today to see if it was compatable. It looks like I'll own one of these by tonight :-0 If I get the PCMCIA adapter, does this plug into a IDE cable? The other posters are right. CF is a good choice. If the camera you choose saves in either TIF or JPG you won't miss the software that comes with the camera, just pull the CF card from the camera and insert it into the PCMCIA adapter which costs less that $10 dollars. My Nikon 2500 ($200~$250) works great this way and I can also plug the camera directly into the USB port with the supplied cable and the Debian sees it as a hard drive. Nothing to keep you from mixing photos and backed up files on the same CF card either.
