Nice save :-) It's amazing, isn't it, that digital cameras are now almost throwaway technology - HP can afford to sell you one at that price because they anticipate making enough extra profit on ink for the printer bundled in with the camera. And a 6MP camera should be capable of making some pretty good prints.
Then there are the keyring cameras (no external media, and enough internal memory for perhaps a dozen exposures), or the Barbie cameras. These are at least VGA resolution, and often more. Or the camera which is just about obligatory in any cellphone - it costs more to get one without a camera (the cellphone companies, of course, want to sell bandwidth).
