Amazon.com's "Gold Box" deal today is the Canon Powershot A490 10 MP for $50.

I figured that this may be of interest to some people for their bookscanners.

Awesome, thanks Al.

I checked this one out and it does not have CHDK support and it does not look like CHDK support will be coming soon, meaning that it will be a tough camera to trigger electronically. That said, for anyone planning to actually press the button on the camera to take the pictures, THIS IS A STEAL.
