Here is one review of this camera, but I'm sure there are others out there, too:
http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D550/D55A.HTM

I received this camera as a gift, new, in 2002. I've since replaced it with a newer camera, so this one needs a good home.

3MP is apparently enough for printing small size photos, though I've never done that--I've used this camera only for posting photos on websites and emailing, and I think the photo quality is more than adequate for that. It has a lot of settings and functions, but to be honest, I've used it as a point-and-shoot. All the specifications and features of it are probably noted in that review. Apparently it can record movies, but I've never tried it.

I think it takes great photos (see example below). I've used it for photographing pens and ink, as well as garden subjects. I'd keep it, but I imagine it would get more use with someone as a starter camera, or for a child who is just learning.

The camera's body condition is very good; there are some cosmetic blemishes on it from use. For example, the lens cover slides back and forth to protect the lens and activate the camera, and there are some "slide" marks that resulted from that, but nothing horrible. The LCD screen can probably benefit from a cleaning.

Included from the original package:
-outer box (minus a UPC code that was probably used for a rebate)
-manual (excellent condition)
-cords
-software

In addition:
-Olympus case purchased for this model
-new in package/never used 64MB Smart Media card (it can store from 86 to 664 JPEG images, depending on resolution)
-four Energizer 2500 mAH rechargeable batteries (purchased these perhaps a few months ago, only cycled a few times)
-charger: MAHA MH-C204F Smart Charger for 2 or 4 AA/AAA NiCD/NiMH batteries, with original box and instructions (not shown in photo)

I'm including all this stuff, thinking that whoever buys this will be all set to go with it all (after charging the batteries, that is).

Everything listed above for US$45, shipped w/ insurance in USA. If you don't want the batteries or charger, then subtract $5. I accept Paypal (non-credit card payments, please), or checks/money orders if you don't mind waiting for funds to clear.

Thanks for looking!

Reduced again--someone please take the whole set for $40 shipped? This is the last call before I ship it all to one of those trade-in services. Thanks.


(edit: now ON HOLD pending payment--thanks!)

UPDATE: the camera set was officially sold as of a few days ago--and it is now happily in the new owner's hands. Thanks! smile.gif I will leave the example photo up temporarily, but eventually it will be removed to save FPN's resources regarding allotted space for photo attachments.
