I think I'm gonna upgrade my camera...

[Entity]

I'm selling my Olympus C-4000 and upgrading to a G3. I want a few more options, 4x Optical zoom, and most importantly, more storage than 128mb.

Trying to ditch my C-4000 (w/128mb card, 64mb card, and 16mb card, as well as everything else it comes with) for $400 on craigslist right now. Wish me luck. Then it'll be a $160 upgrade to the G3.

"...most importantly, more storage than 128mb."

Is my sarcasm meter broken, or is it REALLY that much of a hassle to pop another card in that thing?

When you are out hiking -- things like that -- I prefer not to have to carry around rather delicate cards all over the place. I suppose it's more convenience than anything else, but there are other advantages to the G3 over the C-4000. I'm learning about them as I write this.

I've filled up my c4000 numerous times, but I sometimes switch to higher resolutions when I have a feeling I'll really want the pics to come out very nicely (and be able to print them at decent resolutions in the future).

There are times that movie mode w/sound would be nice, too.

The G3 is only $560?

This one is practically new, if you are interested. I've had it ~3mo, I think.

hate to low-ball but this cam is new $385 at newegg and i just purchased a 128meg smartmedia card the other day in preparation for getting it

This isn't a FS/T thread, so it isn't lowballing. If I don't get the price I want, I'll keep the camera. I'm not hard-set on upgrading.
