In my case, as a film shooter, I was looking for one so that I could
shoot for the web, in RAW, without wasting huge segments of my CF card
in the field. The project I'm planning will use several hundred
images, all of which are about 1000 pixels on the long side. Right
now, a 10-mp camera is gross overkill; by the time I'm ready to get a
full-fledged honest-to-God digital SLR, 10 megapixels will be as
valuable as a 5-1/4" floppy disk.

I have a Canon 20D. If I shoot just plain RAW I can get up to 27 images
on a 256M CF card, according to the instruction manual. So that means
over 100 on a 1G CF card or 200+ on a 2G Cf, 400+ on a 4G CF card.
Then I can burn them to a 4.7G DVD and start over. That would keep me
from buying an old low pixel count digicam . But it sounds like you
might not have a DSLR so your results may vary.....
Oh yeah and if I start an old camera collection I'd better get to Duey
Cheetham and Howe and talk to their divorce people.....
Are 5 1/4" floppies valuable? How about 1.44M 3.5" diskettes? I've
been on a massive clean out of my garagae and my "nest" as my wife puts
it. After 40 years of carrying a tool bag for IBM I have found a box of
10 5 1/4" blank floppies and several hundred formatted by the factory
3.5" diskettes. Need any? 8^)
Then there are the cables "I might need some day".......
