1. there is
a Fuji Fine Pix, model A205 for less than 100. Its 2 megapixal with a 3X optical zoom. Never consider digital zoom cuz it just sucks. I have this camera for flyfishin' and it takes great pictures for the price.

3. LOL
that was one of the smaller ones,we tore up the big ones last weekend. I had left the camera in the car so I didn't get a pic of the biggest one. If you get that camera I'm sure you'll like it, I bet you can get it for around 60 bucks now.

5. i wnet and bought the 205. Staples sold it to me....
Took your advice and bought smae model only it cost 125 plus tax. I tried it out. It's nice. But i will now return it, having just read your new post amd realizing i overpaid. I don't feel like a chump, having bought it at STaples who have a 14 day cash back return policy, as does radio shack. I love road testing electronics. I also love roof testing them but these items are harder to return.

8. 125 seems high

I got mine for 89 and that was like 5 months ago so it should have dropped in price. Also Staples does price match so look on the internet and find the cheapest price and Staples will match it. You'll have to print out the page and take it with you.

7. God, 4 mp for $99?? That's a great price!
My "old" one is 2 mp, bought about 2.5 years ago for $250! I need to move up, dammit. I've used a 3 mp short term, and the difference is very noticeable.
