I meant airmail-stamp size, which is rather larger than a first-class stamp
;-). Anyway, I am sure that CompactFlash is what I have; I prefer it to the
other standard because I have a Sandisk CompactFlash reader that works great
under kernel 2.4.18 and a few flash cards. The smaller size of the SmartMed=
ia
cards is appealing, but then they seem to be more expensive at large
capacities, easier to lose, and likely less durable.

Sorry for the confusion :-).

Anyway, I am now leaning to a Casio QV4000 camera, which appears to be
supported by a USB mass storage kernel driver:

as documented above. No word on the above page about Casio's
Linux-friendliness, but there are no complains from the developers posted
there either.

I also like the Casio because it is an unobtrusive black, rather than an
eye-grabbing silver, like most of the rest. Silly, I know ;-).
