I have wondered about this.  I fill up a 32MB memory card pretty
quickly when taking pictures at 3.1Mpixels.  A single picture is
usually around 1.1 to 1.3 MB, so that would be one floopy per
picture.  I wouldn't want to (1) carry that many floppies, (2) to
forced to change the floppy after every picture and (3) feed-in
all these (slow reading) floppies to my PC later.

This made me think the floppy thing was not viable.  How does it
work out for you?
