Laetitia, I very recently purchased an Olympus D490Z. I will try to send you
the fact sheet I downloaded from the internet. Even tho' you may not need or
want to purchase a 64MB media card you want to get a camera which can handle
that, not all do. I am still learning how to use mine. It like learning to
use a mini computer. Just be patient, that is what I tell myself. I am
fortunate my son-in-law works for AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) a competitor
of Intel. He has the same camera so when I need help he can help me. You can
set your camera for HQ (high quality) and it will use a lot of memory, and
other lesser quality settings which use less. So if and when you want to
take an iris use HQ, then later you can change the setting on the camera and
take a scenic shot with lesser quality (but still very good) and use up less
memory. Good luck.
