I recently got a HP C200 megapixel; HP has a $100 rebate if you buy a
camera and peripheral (or is it a printer and peripheral such as
camera?). So list was about $290, after rebate $190.  It has an 8MB
flashram and can hold 80 640x480 images, or about 40/20 1152x900 or so
images depending on pixel depth. I'm happy with the images but it's my
first digicam.

Anyway, it's not yet supported by gphoto, but the command-line
"psmutils" (linked to from the gphoto site) work quite well with it.
I slurp the images via serial line; they appear as JPEG files. (Oddly,
I couldn't pull them out with the supplied WinDoze software to my
laptop -- but I wanted FreeBSD anyway :-)

The utils indicate this is a clone of a Konica digicam, for what it's
worth. Seems like good quality for an excellent price.
