That would be the one in the K-mart TV advert?
Dont rush in. It has no zoom, so maybe not a bargain. I've seen 2MP, with
3x zoom online for less than $300. Are Fuji any good?  They work with the
USB mass-storage driver.

Would you want more than 2MP anyway? Even 1MP can look very good on a 6x4
or 5x7.
But if it had 8MP, then a digital zoom might be useful :-)
