Digital Cameras

[ccval]

Can someone give me some comments on the following Digital Camera? Which is the best out of the three?
Fuji MX1200 (w/1280 x 960 Resolution)
Agfa CL30 (w/1440 x 1080 Resolution)
Kodak DC215 (w/1152 x 864 Resolution)

I just ordered an mx1200. I have heard they are pretty good. You might want to check out epinions.com they will probably have user reviews of all of those.

AS long as this is an "I wanna" topic:
I'm looking for a digital camera (under 400.00) that has USB, Memory isn't a factor ( I have a ton of CF and Smart Media lying around), and is at least 1.3 Mpixel. I don't want to use the Sony Mavica (with the floppy storage), and I would like to have something with a zoom (3X or better). I really don't wanna spend more than 400.00 (I'll spend more if I have to) so any "hot deals" would help.

I have the DC215 from Kodak for about 6 months now. Great camera, never had any problem with it. Really good quality photos and the zoom feature really helps too. The only thing that "ALL" digital camera has is, power supply. It seems to eat up AA batteries like nothing, so I am planning on getting rechargeables. =) Goodluck in shopping for yours!

PS: I got my DC215 at Office Depot.

Staples has Nikon Coolpix 800 for around $640, firstsource.com has it for 409+change. Pricematch, use one of the 40 off codes, and it comes with a $75 rebate.
I ordered one and got the 2500 sheets of paper that I had never gotten and the total was $392 shipped!!! This is a great deal.
The 40 off codes end soon(7/25), so hurry.
I did it twice and the second time they wouldn't let me use the PM and the $ off code together, so I called right back and got a different CSR and she let it go through, no problem. Hope all that want it, get it in time.

Something I would like to verify. Even if you get 2 different CSR's to do your order, your order still has to go through the processing department. Meaning your order could still get cancelled from using these coupons. The Staples people are more strict now, and they will cancel your order if they see you using the codes 2 times.

I have 2 accounts with Staples. One is a business account and one is a personal use account. Two orders with two different addresses using the same code have been no problem in the past.

jeepers,
Check out the Olympus D-460 Zoom. EVERYONE has just lowered the price on this to $399(or less, look at a thread below about this camera). It is 1.3 megapixel, has 3X optical ans 2x digital zoom, all kinds of flash options(red-eye, slow shutter...), plus it comes with an 8 meg smartcard. It does not have USB(it is serial) BUT just get a Sandisk USB smartmedia reader for about $40. This thing takes Great pictures.

Here is a link to the specs for the D-460Z at Bestbuy.com(they have better info than the Olympus site) http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=11007759&m=82&cat=83&scat=84

I highly recommend the Olympus D360L. I got mine for $299, it doesn't have zoom but it does have a USB connection. THe battery life is quite good and the pics are really good quality. Its 1.3 megapixels.

I bought a Kodak DC280 from Onvia a few months ago....and I love this camera. http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

There also appears to be a $45 off $200 coupon right now too; I had used a $25 off, but they were ofering free shipping too at the time.

Check it out for yourself. USB, optical zoom, etc. Also, It says 8MB but like a few others who commented on the camera, mine came with 32MB.
