That's why I bought the wife a Sony Mavica MF-88, which uses 3.5",
1.44 Mb floppies as "film". The resolution isn't great, but in a few 
months there are suppose to be digital cameras with 4 Mb of pixel CCDs.

Given her technical ability, dealing with floppies is a lot easier
than memory cards, plus USB support in Windoze isn't mature yet.
