What type of digital camera do you use? Feel free to blab about your camera. XD
I use a Cannon powershot a460 with 5.0 MP. I think overall there a good camera, just like many cameras, it has alot of grain and color noise. I recently replaced that 16 MB memory card with a 2G memory card that holds 586 photos. It was a cheap card. Only $9.88.

A Canon PowerShot A80 - 4.0 Mega Pixels

Too bad it uses a memory card that companies are losing support for: CompactFlash

Couldn't you just replace the memory card like I did?

Photography is a very enjoyable hobby. I do a little bit of both traditional media rolls and digital when I do not have access to my darkroom supplies or when I'm lazy. :]

- External manual light meter
- Dome External Flash

2. 1979 Minolta SLR
- 50mm f2.8 Minolta lens
- 75-225mm f3.8/4.0 Minolta telephoto lens
- 2x - 2.5x Magnifier

620/120-converted Film DLR (Dual Lens Reflex) Cameras
1. 1953 Kodak Duaflex II
- 45-52mm f5.6 lens

DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex)
1. Olympus E-Volt 510 10.1 MegaPixel

Actually many do. SLR Cameras out-preform 80% of video cameras to capture true shadows and highlights. Regular video camera lenses are way too small to capture adequate light for any grays under its light sensor that reads only 18% of natural grays. DSLR lenses capture much greater sharpness and color detail (depending on the aperture size too.)

Well, it's the style of the memory card, not the size. I have plenty of room with my 2GB card and two 1GB cards.

In order to do what you're trying to get at I would have to take apart my camera and switch out the CompactFlash dock from something like a SD Card dock.

But either way, the only problem I have is that it can be difficult to upload the photos from a CompactFlash card because of the lack of a dedicated CompactFlash reader and, in somecases, I'd need some type of USB-to-CompactFlash adapter (which my most recent one decided to die and kill two of my other cards).
No worries though. I now have the cable that directly connects the camera to the computer instead.

I use a Canon Powershot 520 with a 2GB card. It's small, takes pretty good photos, and man...it takes such a beating, mine is scratched and dented beyond belief.

I use a Nikon D40. Six megapixels, along with two lenses: a standard lens with an 18-55mm focal length, and a 55-200mm focal length zoom lens. I'm an artistic photographer, so the SLR style cameras, such as this one, fit for me.

I do have a film SLR that I enjoy using, too, but since this is about digital cameras I'll stop there.
