I found a review of this camera at DigitalCameraReview.com. I am thinking of purchasing it within the next month or so. I was leaning to wards the Lumix ZS3 but found it to be a little too costly at $400 and I really don’t need HD video at the moment, though it would be nice to have in the future. But really how long does a camera last 2 – 3 years max?
Let me know what your thoughts on Fuji cameras, I have used Sony and Cannon in the past. I liked the Cannon cameras performace but found the build to be subpar and they only seem to getting worse, the new ones seems really cheap and flimsy.

What is the price point on the unit?
$250, but I’m hoping for a sale in the next little while.
dont forget i was looking for one at 100$
I found this refurbished Camera at future shop.

It falls within your price range, only $45.
