John,
I had a lower cost one, back when a $100 didn't get a
very good one, and it's pics were so grainy, I gave
it to my niece and nephew to thrash ( once I got something
better).
I have been very satisfied with the Olympus that I
bought. Good rez, good memory, decent compromise between
price and performance/features at about $260
I'm seeing some of the more recent models with motorized
lenses, but I'm concerned that with those, the moving
mechanicals are a potential point of early failure.

at the improvement. 640x480=0.3 MPixels, that's
3 to 7 times worse. You get what you pay for.
I agree, but I'm still shocked that I can walk into a
Shopko and have a choice of three or four blister-packed
$50-$80 digital cameras.
