A few things to remember:

BIG megapixels make BIG files

2.1 megapixels at full resolution give an uncompressed file size of
5mb.  5 megapixels at full resolution and you are into 11mb, depending
on the settings of the camera.

If you have big hands like me, then the little cameras can be a pain
to use, although handy to slip into a pocket (and get lost!)

Memory Sticks or their equivalent are much handier to store images on,
most cameras will take up to 1gb or more, depending on how recent they
are. We have 8 memory sticks over the 4 cameras we have here, and we
also have plenty of spare batteries that we bought off ebay, so we
never run out of space or batteries!

The last camera we bought for Rita was particularly nice, but too
small for me, it was a Sony Cybershot DSC-V1. Really nice camera and
although the batteries are different to the Mavicas, it takes the same
Memory Sticks so we can still share those.
