I got some really old ones. Like from the times of Nero. I also have a few coins from ship wrecks.

So anyone?

I have pics if anyone wants to see them.

I have some coinage. If you want to post pics, I'll look at them .... I think coins are cool.

Your camera has 3 dead pixels. If you still have warantee left, and your model is out of production, they might give you a new model. Or at least just fix it.

if you're interested in selling, i'm sure you'll get good cash on ebay.

What do you think it is worth -old olympus dl-340?

do you still have warantee? A dead pixel is caused by a 'broken' CCD chip. If you have the 3 pixels i marked below in every picture, you know they're dead. Because its jpg compression, it also affects the pixels around it. If you have a warantee you can have them repair it. In case the camera is out of stock and out of production, they might just give you a new olympus model because it may be cheaper for them than to have someone repair your old one. It's worth a shot.

Thanks tam,
Actually, I never noticed those spots. The coin pics didn't come out that great, as I mentioned. I've taken tons of pics with this camera and most of them seem to turn out very good. I'll keep an eye on that, which you pointed out.

We got this camera when they first entered the market --3-4 years back. It has done well for what we paid. No doubt, the cameras available now are much better.

Again thanks
