Sandra I use an Olympus D-340R Camedia 1.3 megapixels, it uses a flash card. Don't tell anyone but I think Santa is going to bring me a new Sony Camera that uses disks that you can slip in and then slip into the computer for Christmas. I don't think the Olympus was all that expensive, but it doesn't take closeups, other than that I have just used it and used it as you well know. Jackie
