310 bucks is cheap for a 5 MP camera. Promising, though it seems to lack some image quality.

Why buy a high MP camera if image quality is poor?

maybe there'll be a cheaper 3/4 MP version that's almost as good in image quality =P

from last paragraph on page:
"However, considering all the downfalls and a price tag of $300+, it might be a better idea to consider other cameras."
what other cameras? i'm absolutely clueless when it comes to cameras. all i know is that i don't want a thin (compact) camera because that means high price and lower quality. i don't care too much about video and a rechargeable battery is a big plus for me. any ideas?

#4 Look at the Canon S410. Great image quality, small size, li-ion recharageable batt, CF cards, durable, and good software to boot.

I see pricing at about $240 on-line from a variety of vendors....

my dad has the s410, i have the optio x. i have to admit, the canon is faster and has better image quality. usually what i end up doing is setting the res to 4mp, which is still plenty for printing. this speeds up the camera a bit...

why use 4mp on a 5mp camera you ask? i just love the design, and this thing is so easy to carry around with you. i end up taking a lot more photos than i would with another camera. my primary purpose for taking photos (with this camera) is to record memories, and it excels at that.
