Hello Gary. Nice site and one that I will get involved in.
I started with an Olympus D600-L for about a year and have moved to the C3030Z. This is an awesome camera full of features. I have upgraded to a 64-MB chip, but even with this I need additional storage. Olympus (after complaining to them) has told me that a 128-MB chip is being developed. That will end my storage problems, as I like to work with uncompressed TIFF files. Yes, they are big files, but they are what I need for professional images I need for my marketing position at my company.
The ultimate solution to image storage (for me) is an Iomega 650 CD-RW external drive. I like external USB capable devices as I can use them on my PC or take them on trips for my laptop. Everything is USB capable so storage is a snap.
JPEG files are fine for quick posting on the internet, but once you compress a file, and reopen it for use, you loose a lot of the quality. And the more you work with it the worse it gets. A TIFF file on the other hand is uncompressed and looses nothing in terms of quality.
As a side note on the C3030, I am one of the unfortunate who purchased the $450 FL40 Flash unit. What you need to make it work is the cord/bracket (both of special dedicated design for the C3030) and which didn
