This might be a good deal, but I checked out pricewatch.com, and this camera is selling at some places for $199. And the camera only takes pics at 1280x960 resolution, nothing lower or higher. For $500, you can get a MUCH better digital camera. Of course, you don't get all those prints, but I think 1280x960 is about the low-end of what would be considered "print quality". I'm waiting for some of the higher-resolution digital cameras to come down in price.

Yup, that's what I was thinking. But you never know, someone might find this useful.

Big 'Ol Gip!

Even with the extra stuff, the package ain't work more than $275.

BTW, I have this camera, and for $200 it's a good deal. Takes excelent pictures and has quite a few features given the price.
