I have used Mavica since the early model and I find it a very good camera as
well. They continue to improve it, sure there are others out there.
However some articulation of helpful/contructive criticism from BlitzK was
absent other than it it sucks. I do not own one but have used it as a
loaner from a friend. Like you said the floppy is nice and portable and
Xplatform!!
