Hi, List...

I have spent a fair bit of time picking out a digital camera for myself, and 
the one I am about to buy is the Olympus C2040, a 2MP model, for all the 
reasons Ross O. stated in his post, as well as the high marks given in User 
Ratings at wwwzdnet-dot-com.  The consensus seems to be that a 2MP model will 
yield good 8x10 prints, for those times that I will need prints of that size. 
 I do not anticipate needing larger prints just now, so will save the $ that 
the higher MP cameras currently cost  -- and put it toward a good digital SLR 
when they come down in price.

The C2040 seems to go for about $330 (and up) at online businesses, and is 
recommended in the latest Consumer Reports.  A couple sets of NiMh AA cells 
and charger, and a 64MB Smart Media card will be good accessories for this 
camera.

This the 2 cents from a prospective owner, FWIW.

Regards,

Michael Tandy
