However, if you will be printing your photos, you may need to use CompactFlash or SmartMedia cards because they hold more data and can be used for higher resolution photos. One solution that will give you the convenience of a floppy disk for higher resolution cameras is to purchase a floppy disk drive adapter. They can be purchased for both CompactFlash and SmartMedia cards. With this type of adapter, you simply slide the storage card into the floppy disk adapter and slide the adapter into the floppy drive of the computer. Look for a camera that gives you longer battery life.
Some cameras come with rechargeable batteries.
Some come with two sets of rechargeable batteries, one to use in the camera and the other to recharge and have ready as a replacement. Look for a camera that will also take regular double or triple-A batteries that you can purchase at a local store when the need arises. Be careful not to combine rechargeable batteries with regular batteries. Use all of one type or the other. When buying a digital camera, you should also plan to buy a battery charger and extra batteries as well.
