Re: [Digital BW] OT -- Cheap digital camera for kid

one of the things about digicams is that you BURN through the images

I have 2x256 Mb cards for my Nikon E5000 and I regularly shoot both of
'em full in a couple of hours. That's about 250-300 exposures at fine
quality, the equivalent of say 7-10 rolls of 35mm film. Since I never
ever come home having exposed less than 6 rolls, and regularly expose 10-
20, you can see the problem.

moreover I *never* delete images in-camera. you just can't tell enough.
they all get dumped onto the HD, then burned to CD, without editing. That
way it's like shooting neg, it's all still there.
