No offense intended to Mr. 420. He will tell you that he's not a power user.
I get what you're saying - but these days photos tend to fill up things quite quickly... Now if 420benz doesn't have a digital camera then I'd agree - however with a few photographs you'll quickly return to the bad old days of floppy disks when you were continually asking:-

"Now on which bloody disk did I put that..."
