This is my favourite camera of all time, still used today! This one I did buy from new, I had wanted one for very long time after having great fun with the C-700UZ and the 10x zoom on that. When Tony had a wee accident at at petrol station, he got just about enough compensation to buy it. It also has a super macro mode, which I loved, and the majority of my 'bugs and other wee beasties' are taken with this camera. To be honest I'm surprised it's still in one piece, the metal casing ought to have worn away the amount I've used it. It went everywhere with me in Florida. 4 mega pixels (which, iirc still produced a decent A3 print) and takes up to 512mb XD card.
