My friend bought a Fuji a year or so ago, paid $400 (no down closer to
$250 I believe).
That has got to be one of th most amazing digital-still cameras I've
seen!  I'm not sure that falls into the "sucking lower end" but it does
not suck.  I've not asked about Linux-friendliness though.  This is the
guy I keep talking about getting me to try SuSE again.

| Hi,

| I have a Canon Digital Rebel (SLR way out of budget in this case) and a
| Sony DSC-T1.
|
| The DSC-T1 is a nice camera, except in low light conditions. Unless you
| use the flash, it's almost impossible to take a good picture (all moved).
|
| Besides that, it's a nice camera if you don't mind having to use a cradle
| to download the pictures to your PC (unless you have a memory stick
| reader).
|
| I has only one conector that you can use to connect it to the cradle or
| the battery charger.
|
| The cradle has connectors for the bat charger, USB & A/V out.
|
| The picture quality is pretty good and the video quality is amazing
| considering it's a photo camera (640x480 at 15fps mpeg1).
|
| You'll probably need a 512mb memory stick duo pro (around ?55 here in UK).
|
| I bought it because I wanted something really small to have always with me
| (the digital rebel is an excellent camera but too heavy to take along with
| my vaio all the time).
|
| I'd recommend at least  3megapixels Canon or Sony (3MPixels is perfectly
| ok for standard size prints). They have the best picture quality. I'd saty
| away from Fuji, Olympus & Nikon. Their lower end models suck :)
