Olympus Camedia C-830L

I got my Camedia free with a pc system, so I can't comment too much on the price. It is my first digital, and an excellent camera. This Olympus is very easy to use with a simple point and click system.

The C 830L uses AA pencil batteries which isn't as good as having a rechargable battery pack, but still does the job all the same. The serial port connection lead isn't as fast as USB but still transfers your pics onto your PC quick enough. There's some great features on the C 830L, which I use all the time, like the abilty to hook your camera up ...
