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.
