It's no toy dispite the low cost:

Yup, different price point and quality. I'm going to see how I get on with
the ZippoCam for now - I'd like to do video eventually, so I'm keeping an
eye on the little solid-state vidcams that are coming out. They lack memory
at present, but they'll develop over the coming months.


Looks like this:

Scroll down and you'll also see a pic of the waterproof version which
I also own. Fun cameras and they actually get more use than my
prosumer cameras.

The waterproof one looks a little large beside the U30. Interesting
form-factor - how do you find the handling? (I suppose it's like the 'grip'
side of an SLR...)
