I bought an Afga CL20 for $305 ($335 from Harris Tech plus a $30
cashback from Agfa), it's pretty good for the price, does
1200x900 (or something like that), no little screen on the
back to preview the pics though is the only drawback.
The software it comes with is only M$, and I haven't tried
gphoto yet, but it takes normal compactflash cards (and I've
got a 40Mb flash card lying around) so I bought a flash->pcmcia
adaptor ($30 from HT). So cos the camera just writes to the
flash as an IDE disk using the FAT filesystem I can just mount
it in linux and copy the pics off the flash.
The camera has a USB connector and I've tried that in lose98
but it's fairly slow (compared to the accessing the flash
method) and causes lose98 to hang half the time
so I just use my pcmcia converter now.
