John,

 I had a lower cost one, back when a $100 didn't get a
very good one, and it's pics were so grainy, I gave
it to my niece and nephew to thrash ( once I got something
better).

 I have been very satisfied with the Olympus that I
bought. Good rez, good memory, decent compromise between
price and performance/features at about $260

 I'm seeing some of the more recent models with motorized
lenses, but I'm concerned that with those, the moving
mechanicals are a potential point of early failure.
