What brand is it? I just saw a camera in Best Buy for $129. Mike Walsh • has
been telling me to watch for a new camera, and I think the Best Buy • camera
might be the one (hope to ask him today before running out shopping this
evening).



Here is the camera that I was telling Frank Filz about:

It is based on a chipset from SoundVision (http://www.soundvisioninc.com)
that my company, Mentor Graphics (http://www.mentor.com), designed.  The
camera is targeted at the entry level consumer and amatuer digital
photographer.  Although it only takes VGA size pictures, the resolution I
have seen looks pretty good.  The prototype I saw this past summer also
would record something like 30 seconds of MPEG video but from the web site
it doesn't look like this production version does.  I am not sure what the
retail price will be but I have an opportunity to buy one for $100 through
my employer.  I figure for $100 I can't really go wrong so I am going to buy
one.
