I've got a DSC-F3 (Sony, obviously :O) which has memory flash (non-removable). At 640x480 it can store about 105 images. I was considering getting a Mavika, but I like to take panoramas by taking lots of shots at different angles and stitching them together in PaintShopPro, and I was concerned that the disk drive would take too long to save images. How long between shots? Mine is about 1.5-2 seconds. The DSC is really good, but the limit was a bit annoying when I went on holiday recently - I ran out of space after a week, didn't have a laptop to download them to, so I had to buy disposables! They are good for textures, etc, but the lighting has to be good.
