I have an Olympus D-360L.  It's great if you're looking for very
inexpensive (I think I paid $120 on Ebay), with nice features and good
picture quality (1.3 megapixel).  It works with Linux, although not
gphoto for some weird reason.  I just use phototk with the serial cable
and it works fine.  New memory is super-cheap, and it uses standard
batteries.  I seem to be able to take most of the memory worth (150 shots)
on one set of NiMH batteries.
