As for TVs, Samsung is getting some of the highest ratings now, higher than Sony!

Ronbo, Linux is not a file system but Ext3 is (for Linux). It would not make a lot of sense to go to it since most ordinary folk use Windows systems. NTFS would make sense.

I was kind of hoping there was a camera that used both hard drive and flash memory (so I could decide on appropriate storage). I would guess that with flash memory, the manufacturer might decide to use compression with out me having a say.

I don't like things like that. But 32Gb does apear to be the current upper limit. HD video cameras would have no trouble filling that up sans the compression. I just watched a 3 hour movie (Australia) on DVD. Those hold about 4.7 Gb But that means they used a LOT of compression. So 32 Gb might sound like a lot, but compression means "lossy" and maybe I don't want lossy? Or maybe I am OK with it. In any case, having the choice between flash and harddrive is my desire.
