You know, now that I think of it, the guy did give me a 10% discount when I bought a bag and extra battery and the memory card
This is my bag, but mine is black, the EX 160. I think the sale item was the 120

and the extreme 3 Compact Flash which is 20 Megs per second read/write...which is 133X speed. I didn't purhase their warranty plan thing. I've never ended up using those things by the time they expire

That looks identical to the camera bag I ended up getting. It was $49.00.
I had already bought their package deal which included a $39 bag and a 1G memory card for $59, so when I returned the first bag, I just added an extra $10 and got the bigger bag. The memory card on it's own was $29, so I guess I saved a few pennies. Nothing to write home about.

I'd love to see your pic of the moving car. I think I'm going to go out this afternoon and try doing that. Or maybe while the kids are playing baseball or Keith is riding his electric scooter. This is going to be so much fun!!!

Try this, put the AF on continuous focus mode, turn the dial to the setting for taking pics of moving objects. Point, push the button partway down to start the focus on the moving object and then push all the way down and hold it while following the moving object in the view finder, it will keep taking pics as you hold it down, really cool

Cool!! It's after dark right now and I live on a quiet street. But tomorrow that is going to be on my list of things to do! Seriously!!

I used the camera today and played with it a bit while taking pictures of my nieces for them to give to their dad for Father's Day. I wanted to see what kinds of differences I got using AUTO mode or Portrait Mode. I did get some nice pictures. I'm thinking I'm gonna love this new toy!

Prax,

I don't know anything about that camera but I can tell you this - try not to fall in the rapids and go over a small waterfall if you are ever in Scotland and have your digital camera in your shirt pocket.

The ten or fifteen minutes until you escape your deadly circumstances clutching to the side of the waterfall are too many minutes for your camera to be underwater.

Although my camera dried out and continues to take pictures something messed up in the circuit board or wiring and the battery will not keep a charge. I thought it had just ruined the battery and bought a new one but it does the same thing. You can charge it up and immediately upon unplugging it the camera will show the battery almost depleted and you can only take a handful of shots before it goes dead. Arghhhhhh..

At least since the new camcorder got completely washed away into the Loch I didn't have to worry about whether it would work again or not.

Jeff has a Sony Cybershot H1 , and its an awesome camera. I LOVE it! The pictures are SHARP, up to poster size. It takes fairly decent video as well.

This is a slightly older model but it comes with two lens

Evolt E-500

The sale price is $609 and that is the cheapest I have seen anywhere with both lenses. I don't want to spend the money but this is a deal that won't come again soon.

What do you think?

I just got Tiffany the Nikkon D200 Its INCREDIBLE!
You would have to ask her about all the lenses that came with it...but its amazing.

Thats a really good choice.

Here is the specs and review
