Link. Nice price, but does anyone know the quality of this camera?


Edit

Did a search and found a forum (German, 83 threads so far) discussion about it. Aldi 4.1 digital camera

Looks like it is similar to a Jenoptik JD4100 Z3.

Another thread



<< I've found several user opinions and reviews of the Jenoptik-branded version of this camera in German, and they range from mediocre to bad. So-so picture quality, no manual controls except white balance (not even exposure adjustment), ISO 100 only, pixelated 64K LCD, slow F3.4-3.6 lens, camera locks up when transferring photos to PC (must remove batteries to bring it back to life). One site compiled four user opinions with an average rating of 2 stars out of 5.

Imaging-resource has specs on the Jenoptik JD 4100 z3 which appears to be the same camera, including a link to the OEM source, Scanhex, in Taiwan.

I don't know what Aldi's return policy is, but I wouldn't gamble on this camera unless I could return it for a full refund after giving it a thorough try-out.
