You can use a camera with Compact Flash and when insert them in a PC Card
adapter in your OS/2 machine if you want (most cameras save as standard jpeg
files on the flash disk) or for example the Sony Mavica who saves directly to
diskettes (or a camera with Win 3.1 software who runs under WinOS2).

It's the same (unstable) kernel as Win95, but with some bugs fixed (and some
new added). It won't make any big difference at all (go with NT if you need a
stable system).

I maybe misunderstood you above regarding cameras (thinking of digital
cameras), or you maybe talked about both. I have heard that it's possible to
get the LPT version of the QuickCam to work in OS/2 IIRC.
