the only thing that is not wonderful about it is the small proprietary battery.

"world's smallest camera in the 5.23 megapixel, 3X optical zoom class"
"professional performance results. The ultra high 5.23 megapixel CCD resolution ensures crisp, clear picture quality, and enables sharp enlargements even up to 11" x 14".
Steve "I give the KD-500Z high marks in styling, durability and overall image quality. Whether you need to print big enlargements, post some pictures on your web site or attach to your email, this camera can handle it. This is a small camera and even with my large hands it wasn't at all awkward or uncomfortable to use. Some of these ultra-compact cameras look great but they're a nightmare to use, especially the miniature buttons and 4-way controllers. The KD-500Z is a good choice for the active digi-photographer, it will handle anything short of being dunked in the stream or used in the rain. It has a very solid feeling to it thanks to the stainess steel case and the "fit-n-finish" is excellent"
its basically $450 everywhere else and 429 at costco.
