Another digital camera
Nathalie got an inexpensive digital camera for Christmas. It is more sophisticated than Emma's, with zoom and various different kinds of functionality. It also takes 5 Mpixel snapshots.
Those lead to 2.4 MB JPEG photos. No wonder it takes a second for them to get written to the flash memory chip. It took me several minutes to download a copy of her photos, but then I noticed 118 photos take up 277 MB of disk.
The downside is that the camera doesn't do a pre-flash, so you get red eye. That can be fixed using the Gimp, as I did inexpertly with the photo in this entry (reduced 10:1).
