(...) I've got the 3000, got it for $700 from Amazon after using $300 in gift certs. I'm thrilled with the camera - pictures are awesome, HUGE, and easy to take.

If you are thinking about the Sony Mavica, consider the Olympus C3000/C3030, incredibly good image quality, 3.3 Megapixel images, 16 or so possible quality settings, I use the HQ setting and a 64MB smartmedia card to get over 80 shots before I need (...)
