the specs listed are nearly the same as the CL30 with the exception of the amount of storage capacity (significantly higher for clik!). You can pick up a CL30 fo $344 new on the net. If it does list at $599, the wholesale price for purchase on the net would be closer to $510 or less. But, with the clik! CL30, the cost per picture is $.17. Whereas, the cost per picture with Agfa's flash based CL30, is about $3.00. Assuming you store pictures on clik! disks without immediate transfer (or assuming you need to purchase addtl. flash to take addtl pictures), the drive pays for itself after just 60 full resolution pictures; flash vs. clik! - or just 2 clik! disks. Despite Wall Street's preference for low cost drive, high cost media formula, it seems the clik! drive relative to high users offers a significantly more cost effective deal. The higher resolution, i.e., 2megapixel isn't needed by 95% of the camera user audience, especially since one still needs expensive, specific software to take advantage of the the higher pixel cameras on download and printout. Increased storage capacity is needed over the higher pixels. The difference bw. 1.5mega and 2.0mega is only about 7% visual resolution - for the trained eye.
