Hello Dr. Frank,
I bought a Casio QV-2000 camera with a 1.5" sq. IBM micro-drive that holds up to 340 MB of jpeg data...enough for 500 photos at 1600 x 1200 pixel size...
It's been 2-3 years when a 2.0 megapixel camera was state-of-the-art. Today, cameras are up to 5.0 megapixels.
Here is the link to Casio's current product line :

I think there are some much better cameras out and prices have really dropped.
Mine has limits with macro-photography and getting close-ups in focus. I have improved by using a small tripod to help steady the shots.
If I were looking for a new one, very good close-up luger-photography would be the most important feature I would look for in a new one. My old one will still be great for years to come for my professional work...
p.s.
Did you end up buying that red 1906/29 W+F Bern luger ? If yes, we all suspect this will not be your last...
Best Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
