I got this back in 2001 "I think" dished out $200 on AOL for it and the only dislike Is the battery life. I spent $50 this year and got 3 rechargeable lithium batteries instead of using AA's and wow its going strong. I am in no way a pro when it comes to cameras but its not bad for an old ass digital camera. I think I use this thing until it falls apart or someone gives me a new one.
