Lexar will be introducing flash memory cards with 2GB and 4GB capacities.  This means that you could take a tremendous number of photographs with a digital camera before having to download, even at the highest resolutions.  My 2 megapixel digital camera can store approximately 400 pictures on a 256MB flash card at the highest quality and resolution.  My recent experience with a film camera has definitely brought me back around to the digital camp.  There is no developing cost, no waiting for the pictures to come back, and with large memory capacities you can take lots of pictures in the hopes of getting the shot that you want.
