Hi
Has anyone heard of or bought the digital camera currently on sale at Aldi?
Seems like a great deal, 5.2 MP 2- LiOn batts. a docking station and a 256 MB SD card, for $200?
Has anyone tried it out is it any good?
Most of there stuff is Tevion, but I think that this is a different brand.
Thanks,
Mike :rolleyes:

I saw the ad, too, and was intrigued by it. They had one a few weeks ago that was a Traveler 6.3mp camera, and that one was made by Vivitar. I'm not sure about this one, however. Someone said they thought it was made by Medion. I'm not sure about that, because the battery and power supply appear to be the same for the two cameras. What was a deal breaker for me is the fact that this 5mp cam has no optical viewfinder--only a 2.5 inch LCD. I'm gonna check my local Aldi's and see if they have ony of the old 6mp versions left. That one also comes with two batteries, and you also get full manual controls, a histogram in the LCD, a 12 volt car charger and a 120 volt poer supply. Hope this info helps.
