I can beat that!  :-)  I have a Minolta Dimage V, which uses *5V* SmartMedia cards, which have the cutaway 
corner on the opposite side from the 3V3 cards (good bit of design by someone).  Readers that accept those 
disappeared about 4 or 5 years ago...

I have to say that I almost never use it these days though, in favour of my Canon SureShot S50, which uses 
CompactFlash (anyone else think this name is ironic, since it's the largest of the card formats?  :-)  

But having a swivelling (and removeable!) lens unit is handy for taking candid shots, or in enclosed spaces 
such as under floorboards (following wiring runs, or investigating the insects making a meal of my house's 
woodwork).
