I found this deal this morning. It sounds like a good deal for looking at your babies and snapping pics on the computer. I have never seen one for less than $100.

Cool find, thanks. You think this one is worth a few bucks more? I like that it's handheld and doesn't have to be tethered to a computer.

So find the equivalent on ebay. Iwantoneofthose is an expensive place to buy anything, you can almost always find the same stuff cheaper if you shop around.
