HACK A FUZE
I already have one, and I found that I could PROBABLY use a 16GB MICRO SDHC if it was made by SanDisk. I tried a 4GB Kingston, and it would not work in the fuze. A little research led to learning about the protocols for SDHC cards, and the forum where someone said they were using a 16GB card in their fuze. Since the Fuze is made by SanDisk, I picked the SanDisk card in the belief that the protocols would be the same. It worked, and continues to work, even though it does not show the space, it does read the mp3s I put on the card with my laptop, and then put the card into the fuze. (I have since used one of the 16GB cards in my centro, and it works well enough to have about 3500 songs on my phone.)

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS75-S 7.2 Megapixel
I wanted a camera for my 87 year old mother that would replace her old Polaroid camera, the expensive film, and the total lack of optical zoom. I liked the image stabilization, the easy setting for a non technical user, and the use of AA alkaline batteries and SD cards, which I have a lot of both. I thought 3x optical zoom would be enough, since she shakes a little, but now I wish I had 6x, or more pixels, or both. (I have started to teach her to crop the pictures on a laptop that I will give her to use, so the more pixels the better.) We have dropped it three times, and it has survived well. The controls are a little small for her fingers (she has trouble with them) but she gets them to work without too much trouble. I do not have any trouble.
All things considered, it is a nice camera, nice 3.5 inch display, quality of picture is good for our purposes, and she enjoys it.
