Inexpensive digital camera compatible with Windows 98 (not SE)?

Question

I'm trying to find a very inexpensive digital camera that will interface with my Windows 98 computer. I recently bought a Philips keychain camera but had to return it. The packaging said that it worked with Windows 98, so I loaded the software and took a couple of test pics; I couldn't upload them, and that was when I learned that the software provided needed 98SE. Upgrading is not an option at this time, unfortunately. If anyone knows of a camera that definitely works with plain, ol' Win98 -- or if you have links to any sites that include OS specs in selection criteria -- I sure would appreciate your help. Thanks a lot!

Does your computer have USB ports? One of the differences between Win98 and Win98SE was official support for USB.

But some PC' s had early support for USB in Win98. I had one - an IBM desktop I got in 1998.

If you have the USB hardware port, some cameras will work with Win98.

I have a Sony DSC-P8 that worked fine with my Win98. There was also a P10 and P12.

You can find one of these used on Ebay for $50 to $100. (Read carefully to be sure they are not broken.) If the CD is missing, you can get another one from Sony.

Or check on the Sony website to see if any of their new models are Win98 compatible.

Another alternative is to get a Win98SE upgrade CD. These are not expensive now that Win98SE is obsolete.

Another alternative is to get a USB card reader that is Win98 compatible. Then you could take the memory card out of any digital camera, put it in the card reader and read it into your computer

Good Luck
