RCA CDS4100 - 1998/9.   Very similar to the Premier DC-1500 Shown at PMA in February of 1999 and marketed in 1999. CCD 1.5MP, 1360 x 1024 pixels.  Lens: F5.6.  Shutter 1/3 second to1/3,500 seconds.  MSRP $499.  Although we normally limit camera purchases to those marketed in 1998 or prior years, we found this camera to be one more example of why collectors should do a "vintage digital cameras" search on eBay at least once a week in order not to miss a good buying opportunity.   This camera in mint condition with the original box, manual and equipment shown was purchased for only $18.75.  Shipping was free!  Many of the rare or unique cameras in our collection were obtained because we check eBay frequently and made the purchase before other collectors were aware of the item.
