At the time I got this camera it was quite expensive, since the development of other products from kodak though, it seems that this camera can be purchased much cheaper now, I found sites that advertised it as low as $249. It is no longer in production but can be found elsewhere, on places such as eBay. You may find it useful to have a CompactFlash card reader to use with this camera, as the connection is a serial port, not a USB which means you'll find it much quicker to upload pictures using the CompactFlash card reader.
It's very easy to use, so good to buy if it will be your first camera, the picture is good especially within a distance of 12feet but I have found that it can take long distance pictures with reasonable quality too. It has an LCD display on top displaying useful information on battery power left, how many pictures, what kind of flash is in operation or whether the flash has been turned off..etc. There is a display panel on the back which shows the picture you have just taken for a few seconds, or if you use the slider switch to click to Review (The main options are "Capture", "Review, "Connect" and "Preferences") then you can view all of the pictures you have taken, you can also zoom in on them, change the print order, or of course delete them.
It's also possible to connect this camera to your TV for a slideshow of all your pictures, which is useful for showing friends.
It's metal casing means that it is quite robust, mine has been dropped numerous times and still works fine, not that i advise this!
If you want a fairly cheap good quality camera, and don't mind waiting a fair while between pictures (about 10 seconds), then this camera might be for you, especially as a first digital camera
