$100.00
from ebay Summary: I bought this camera almost a year ago and have taken roughly 8500 photos with it. Overall I'd have to say that while it is a good value, its age shows (It was made in 1998). It takes a long time to read/write to the memory card, it only download through the serial port, there is a long delay between pressing the button and taking the picture, and the 2x digital zoom is completely useless. The photo quality is decent most of the time. It works horribly for most close-range or low-light photos, and the color/saturation often messes up if a picture is predominantly one color.
Overall, it's not bad for an outdated low-end camera, but in the end you get what you pay for. It's served me reasonably well but I will soon move to something more advanced. Strengths: cheap and simple, easy to use, reasonably durable, long battery life (when not using the LCD screen) Weaknesses: lousy picture quality in certain situations, very very slow serial port downloads, very basic features
