The only complain I have is it does not offer a (super) high quality format. The 16 M CF card is supposed to hold about 12 pictures at 4MB format. But I shot 32 pictures in this cards, most files size about 400-500KB. Yes, I set the camera to 4MB not 4MB high compression. In my opinion, it compresses pictures too much and cost the quality significantly. I printed 2 pictures of 3MB in a 8x11 photo paper, the quality is worse than I expected.

Roger, where did you get the compression ratio? Did you test it? And for Tom, your 128M card holds only 60 pictures? I would love to have large picture files (hence better quality, I have 2 256M cards). Since it does not have much to do with the setting, I guess if you shoot very contrast colorful objects (e.g., red flowers with green leaves, etc.), you may get higher file size.

I wish sometime Kodak updates firmwire to offer less compression options.
