My wife is heading out this morning to pick up several auction items including this Nikon camera. It's older - released in 2009, just 10 megapixels, with 15x optical zoom. $28. My Canon digital camera died a few months ago, and I haven't been satisfied with the Olympus replacement - though at least I didn't have to buy it. It was my wife's old camera.

Ultimately, it's the image quality that matters. Sunsets always looked washed out with the Olympus. The Canon was phenomenal in that regard, though it didn't have anything like 15x optical zoom. And I may not have been putting the Olympus into the proper mode for the pics I was taking... I didn't find the interface intuitive.

I'll let you know if this 15-year-old alternative is any better.
