People love floppy-based cameras for the convenience of a cheap, universal storage format.
You might have gathered from the first paragraph that I'm not a big fan of floppy-based cameras, and I want to make that clear up front. If the issues I've raised above don't bother you, then feel free to erase them from your memory. The PV-SD5000 has a great bundle, with everything you need right in the box. 75 page manual Panasonic gets two thumbs up from this reviewer for including a nice Li-ion rechargeable battery, as well as a charger which doubles as an AC adapter. Panasonic says that you should be able to get 200 photos out of a fully charged battery.
