That's not too bad. I got mine about a month before the price drop, when it
was still in the $700 range.

Apparently there's a lens pack you can get for it that comes with a wide-angle
and a zoom lens. They never seem to have it in stock at my local store,
though.

You're not a Mac user, or I could help you out a lot on that. (Cameraid,
shareware - it rocks! but for Mac only) If your PC has a USB connector,
though, I strongly recommend one of the cheap CF card readers - they're about
$30 and make it work basically just like a disk in terms of moving pics on and
off the card.

Very true. I always do my downloading - and some of my photography! - with
the camera plugged into the wall.
From the other post:

They dropped the price severely on the 800 when the new models came out, so I
suspect that the 880 is meant as a replacement. I haven't checked on it to
compare the features, though.
