Question

Does anyone know where I can purchase Olympus C120 digital cameras? These are definitely last year's model but are ideal for what I need (2m pixels, smartmedia). Places I've tried don't carry them any more, it's been replaced with the C150 (2m pixels, xD). All of our cameras use smartmedia and for simplicity's sake I'd prefer to keep it that way.

Are there any other smartmedia choices? Don't need an optical zoom.

TIA
Mark

Whats your budget?

Canon Powershot A70 has just had it's RRP slashed to £239

Canon Powershot A60 must have had it's RRP cut too though I'm not sure what to or even if its still available.

However, they're Compact Flash - why must you have SmartMedia?

I'm after cheap and cheerful. The cameras are used out in the field for building inspections and the like. Don't need anything fancy. 2m pixels is sufficient. We have a couple of C120s and they cost around £130 9 months ago.

Why Smartmedia? Just means less complication for the field guys All our field cameras are Olympus and take Smartmedia. Makes sense to have more of the same. It does look like Olympus are moving to xD format.

I'll have a look at what Fuji have to offer.

Cheers

Mark
