Only thing is, it doesn't even mention a brand name so I can't look up anything on Google about it. the "3.1 megapixel sensor with 6.0 megapixel interpolation" I pressume to mean it is a 3.1 mp camera, that can "fake" 6.0 mp like the Fuji's can...

Anyone know anything about it?

Features look good enough, for that price on ebay, but I've not been able to find any more info at all, even with the model-number (CD310 on Google just returns lots of auctions world-wide, no details/reviews of the camera), so I'd be wary...

Oh, and see here for a nice description about what digital interpolation is all about...

I'm not too sure about buying it as it only has digital zoom rather than optical zoom (in the expirience I have had using camera's with digi zoom is they generally reduce quality) and mainly due to lack of info. The thing that hold me off the most is that there doesn't seem to be any sites who have reviewed it and taken sample pics that I can see.....
