mac os 9 compatability

Hi all,
Yes i too am on the hunt for a nice little digital camera. The
maximum i would stretch to would be about £350, sort of a Sony DSC-V1
range. From 3Megapixels to 5M is the range I am thinking of.

Now, I have an original iBook, macintosh computer, running OS 9.1. Are
software packages generally compatible with this 'old' OS? I am also
thinking of canon, and pentax cameras.

Also, the camera i am 'burying' has a 32M compact flash card - it would
be nice if I could use this card in my new camera. Is this an option with
the sort of camera I am looking at?

Thanks,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,
Most cameras that I have looked at are compatible with Mac OS 8.6+, so
you shouldn't have a problem there.
Steve's Digicams has a great review site where the cameras are listed
by Megapixel, and Memory type, among other useful things.

Dealcam, also has a page where you can plug in your requirements, and
search for Cameras that are in your price range, and use the type of
memory you are interested in.
