My father-in-law owns a camera store.
Last night he talked to the rep regarding the availability of the FineCam S3. He can secure 10 cameras for $325. This is the SMALLEST 3.3 MP camera on the market. They will come with FULL factory warranty. 16MB mini-card, USB adapter, Portable USB adapter, strap, documentation and software.

This is the camera that I use as well.

Coincidentally, Toshiba just renamed this camera as theirs and is selling it for $500!

Just a LITTLE toooooo late Matt :( I'd get this right now, but I got a different cam for my bday.

Hope you can find the buyers. It really is a damn good camera.

if he can do a gb on nikon 4500, id so be down.

he has a VERY hard time convincing NIKON, who is used to selling in quantities of 1000 to their channels for ANY discounts.

I can ask him though:)

HOW MUCH?

it's the third sentence:)
$325 - they retail currently between 385 and 500.

Excellent feedback.

The payment would be via Paypal.
The camera's battery needs to be conditioned.

Here's the bottom line. I USE THIS CAMERA. I love this camera.
It's the SMALLEST camera on the market and takes getting used to, but I can take GREAT pictures with it now.

Let me tell you my experience with this camera then I'll post a pic that I took with it.

The battery required about 10 full charge to discharge cycles, then it lasts for about 4 16MB cards with the LCD in full mode on. If you turn off the LCD, you can of course get more out of it.

It recharges in the camera, so all you need is an outlet and the power cord, no messy external items (I had that before with a Canon).

You need surgically steady hands for great STILLS, but in general it takes great shots with little effort. Flash is adequate, it's got 2X optical zoom so it takes great shots within 10 feet of it.

Here's the BEST part of the camera, it's QUICK! From the time you press the on/off button to the time you shoot your shot, it's 8 seconds (nothing else starts that quickly). Also, when you scan through images, you have NO delay.

You upload images via USB connector and they're QUICK. This camera offers aperture and various other settings which I've barely begun to use.

One more thing - it can shoot AVI files:D

I've taken over 1500 pictures with it in 8 months of ownership - that tells you something:)

Here's a picture I took with it:
Here's a "NORMAL" quality image:

http://home.pacbell.net/umnitza/DDE/closeupofring.jpg - fine resolution which is 700-1.2 MB per picture

Another is Super Fine quality, which is about 1.5MB per picture kinda big to post

Finally, TIFF images are also possible, but they are too big to post.

damn i feel stupid........
