Re: Nikon Coolpix 4300

In my pile of cameras I found an Olympus C-4040. It seems perfect. I don't
know why I went with the Nikon 4300 and its quirks (Unreliable. Strange USB
connector. At one time required scsi generic.) . On eBay the Olympus is
available in lots of 7 for $50 and 5 for $60. Bare cameras. I'm going to go
for one of them and move from Nikon to Olympus.

Thanks for your input.
