Ok, so I'm out of my mind? It's an excellent camera, and floppies are $3
for 10.. I have no problems with it, it takes better pictures than any
other camera I have seen. It also supports wide angle, and many other
features, so I must ask where you became so informed as to how I could
be out of my mind for owning one.

What's the difference, I have an added benefit, I'm not limited to a
system that requires a smart reader, nearly all computers still have
floppy drives, why not use them?
