OT Looking for a camera... check this out

It was just the other day, but the camera thread is already burried in the haystack.

Today I got a Costco email about a Nikon Coolpix 10x optical zoom 6 Mega pixels for #219.99 and it comes with a 1G SD card (that's the film for all you pre-digital dinosaurs out there) that's worth about $30. Small and light too.

Looks like a deal to me.

"Fishing lure" might be a little strung, but good catch and nice site. Thanks Joe.

The reviews are a mixed bag, but many agree it doesn't focus well indoors... that's important.

So if you get this one, get it from Costco, mark your calendar with their 90 day return policy.

Again Joe, thanks for the review site.
