This is a fairly modern 3.2 megapixel digital camera, with 10x zoom (3x optical) and a relatively large colour LCD display.
It connects via USB, or for quick viewing of photos on a TV to a Phono video-in socket. (This isn't suitable for use with a video capture card, as it writes details about the photo to the screen.)
It takes photos in 4 different qualities, which it saves as JPEG format.
It can also take up to a minute of Quicktime movie. (No sound.)
Because this camera acts as a USB mass storage device, it should be fully compatable with any system which supports that kind of media - my SuSE Personal 9.1 even recognises it as a digital camera.
This is just a follow up to my entry - I've included most of what I intended to say up there.
I bought my camera for GBP160 on the Dixons website, but that was just over a year ago, so the price will almost certainly have fallen (if it's still made).
One note: the camera seems to show up as both a digikam and a mass storage device. In my experience, although it's nicer to click in the digikam icon, that's just a directory containing the Mass Storage Device icon - so it's quicker to go straight for the MSD. It works perfectly, though.

I brought this camera about a year & a half ago, and haven't had a problem with it. Connecting it as a USB device works fine. Although I have noticed that deleting data off the camera is not prefect. The last time I tied that there were a few leftovers.
