I've seen them around for about $90 on sale. I've actually held one and played
with it at the local Costco store. The resolution is rather poor, but it
does work. You can identify large objects, but thats about it, and forget
fast pans :-) It's an amazing bit of engineering, but my personal view
is that it was an idea ahead of it's time. The results are a bit *too*
crude to be really much fun to play with. But then maybe a kid would
feel different?
