The bottom line? As long as I am alive, there will be at least one buyer.
3 of 3 found this helpful I bought my first Olympus C-700 Ultra Zoom at full retail over four years go at about $400 USD. Some people like Fords. Some people prefer Chevys. I prefer this make and model over any other digital camera or cell phone camera I own regardless of the MegaPixel count.
When I damaged mine after over five years of faithful service, I was very bummed out. I thank those who put theirs on eBay at such a ridiculous low price. I was so shocked a the low prices these are being offered at that I bought more than one. I am now prepared if I drop one. That is not likely if I remember to use the strap that will go over my neck and have this camera at belly button level ready to pick up and shoot. The strap is adjustable if you prefer just a wrist strap.
I have a choice of ways to control my exposure shutter speed or F-stop setting like a real camera. The zoom choices offered exceeds my needs. The zoom is very easy to use. There are four choices of light sensitivity like film used to be. The flash works well.
I send photos by email. While the camera provides three choices of quality, all file sizes work well for email purposes ... even when enlarged to full screen viewing.
You can make miniature movies with it as well.
The Olympus still makes the instruction book and original software available if you purchase your camera without it.

The only negative thing that I know about these camereasis they use a SmartMedia digital memory card (various sizes up to 128 MB). Those are not as easy to come by, but I have had no problem finding more of them recently on Ebay and Amazon (both new and used). Due to not being the current digital card of choice, these card are pricier than they used to be. You can still find USB card readers for them. There are power adapters and USB cables to hook right into this cameras, but I choose not to do so. I use rechargeable batteries rather than purchase new batteries. Either way the batteries last a more than reasonable time.

Sanyo Katana 6600 (Sprint / Nextel)
1 of 1 found this helpful If you are going to use the Sprint Vision, this is the phone to have because of the screen size compared to most phones offered by Sprint. It has been fairly reliable for close to 2 years for me. I have used it with the GPS software and been satisfied. Sprint's new "Unlimited Internet" now has a 5 Gig limit which is a concern if you really use the Sprint Vision features like TV, stock reports and graphs.
The one thing that caused me to downgrade it is that it did not include a USB capability to D/L the pictures I took. I does not have a memory card as does some other phones which would be another way to back up and save pictures.
My phone finally had a flaw with the Internet. Sprint will replace it for me under the insurance. They will copy over my phonebook, but not my songs, picures nor text messages. With some other phones, that would have been possible.
I really do like the phone and bought 4 when they came out because the roamimg feature includes the old Analog roaming. The Analog roaming is going the way of the dodo bird, so that is no longer a valid reason to get this phone as it was when I got mine.
Also, don't get just any Katana. Get the original. The newer Katana has a smaller screen. The screen size of the original Katana is a major reason to select this phone.
Text messaging is a bit old fashioned with all characters being made on the numbers. It does NOT have a keyboard. I send most of my text messages on line using the same keyboard as I am now typing this review with.
