Nikon Picture Perfect works with the 600 -- the software for camera.
Check the nikon site for your particular set up. All the Nikon Coolpix
camera's I've tried work with the 600E, 600X and OS/2 too.
However, that price is a big rip-off refurb, and I would not buy it. The
Coolpix L3 is a good two years old in design, and a more current and brand
new version, such as the L10 is just $10 more at Walmart. Check their
website. Search on "coolpix" to see what they carry, ship. Amazon has
the L14 for $99.
I think a fair price for a refurb L3 ought to be under $40 including
shipping. I would not pay more then that for one -- And I would really
have to think about it before paying that much for an refurb L3. (Its a
good little camara, but there is a price problem in my mind. One good
thing about the little ones like the L3, L10, is they are light and you
can almost put one in a pocket and not feel the weight).
Sometimes there are sales with a camera and a printer for $20 buck more
that are good deals. Some come at Black Friday (every year it seems),
some come with different stores. Look at the Epson and HP websites for
notices of deals and where to find them. Manufacturers are always
updating printers and selling off the old stock at half price or less with
a rebate when you buy a new camera.
