you may also use this to PM @BB. They have this cam for $499.


here's a review of the camera from steves-digicams.com

review


This is a pretty good camera, especially for that price. Surely you are getting a USA model and it's not refurbished.
If I had the $, I'd buy it, but I already have a Canon G2 :D

Great camera! Highly recommended. It's got some really cool features and takes some damn fine photos.

i was thinking of buying it for my lil sister, an upgrade to her hp 315 which takes really bad pics. I don't know if my sister is worth that much! ha ha j/k ;)

"The big difference between the 3040 and the 3020 is that the 3040`s widest aperture is Ä1.8, while the 3020 has a modest Ä2.8. That makes the 3040 much more useful in low light conditions. On the plus side the 3020 has a maximum f-stop of Ä11 and boasts shutter speeds of up to 16 seconds. The 3020 is a better choice for nighttime photography than the 3040, because that camera only did one second exposures. The 3020`s 3x zoom is the same as in the 3040, and it has the Olympus menu system that wins awards for obfuscation."

Another difference is the 3020 doesn't have sound in movie mode while the 3040 does.

It'd be hotter if you used compusa to pricematch with officemax and used a 50 dollar off coupon

making it 349. :)

The camera is too big IMO

In the process of getting the urls for this reply, I just went ahead and bought my second c-3020 for $189.99 from a reputable Ebay store call returnbuys, lol. they specialize in merchandise "returns" which they then test and accurately report the items condition in a star rating system. My first C-3020 arrived just as decribed, in perfect cosmetic condition and with all the manuals and accessories. I didnt elect to, but you can even buy extended warranties for the items through Kemper Insurance.

heh, i sound like a pitchman, but i really am happy with my purchases, and for $189.99 you cant beat it

here is the stores current listings

[edit]

they usually post about 2-5 c-3020's at that price per day and they are scooped up quickly, sorry for buying the last one today, and then posting about it, but i couldnt help myself ;)
