Get some decent storage capacity and have some fun with it.  I have the
Canon S30 and got the 340 MB microdrive ~ 400 pix with default compression
& they make a 1 GB version.  They're a lot of fun.  2 mp allows 5 x 7
without any "pixelation", 3 mp 8 x 10.  Obviously it also allows more
cropping too.

Get a decent one, you'll probably find yourself using it for a lot more
than you thought.

My $0.02.
