Would that be Ms. Taylor or the disgraced leader of Nigeria - I mean Liberia?
DEAR FRIEND - URGENT REQUEST
Good day sir/madam and hope that this message find you in good health.

Firstly my name is Mary Goodman TAYLOR, wife of recently disgraced former president Mr. Charles TAYLOR of Liberia. My partner in London has vouchsafed for your trustworthiness in matters of business as a reliable person of unimpeachable character. God willing I seek a prompt urgent response to this appeal for assistance my family.

Mr. TAYLOR currently wrongfully imprisoned in Nigeria, previously deposited in Federal Bank of Ghana account a quantity of Vivitar Vivicam 8300SC digital cameras each with resolution no less than 8,100,000 PIXELS. Each piece I can assure you is fully vested with 2.5" LCD screen, yet retaining a compact and pleasing size. If I may draw your attention to Burst Mode allowing 3 images in 2 seconds. Many other important features are also present rechargeable battery, voice memo, and 640×480 video mode as well. Splendid cameras I am sure you will agree.

Our family estate is urgently interested to reclaim our legacy owing to financial dispute between Mr. TAYLOR and the government of Liberia however, we must enlist a reliable intermediary abroad and it is my fondest hope you will agree. Your utmost confidentiality is essential in this venture due to my family?s present predicament.

To proceed further, as a token of good will and security, please transfer a token sum of $249.99 to the account indicated, in return you will receive as I said 8,100,000 PIXELS (eight point one mega pixels) of resolution in the form of one (one) Vivitar Vivicam 8300s digital camera. These pixels are yours to dispense with as you wish, as a reward for your urgently required facilitation of this most imperative matter. You may also transfer a multiple of $249.99 for in return 2 or 3 Vivitars, if this meets happily with your liking. Also please include a one-time nonrefundable international custom and duty tax of $5 American Dollars, to expedite processing.

God bless you and your family as you follow the above instructions. With your support our travails may at last be reaching an end. Highest regards -

You want a great camera? I just picked up a Canon A610. It isnt petite, but its tremendous. Focuses super quick - not that hunting back and forth, zooming in and out nonsense. 5.1 MP and 4x optical zoom with SD memory. Also the startup speed and refresh between shots is great. Played with one at Staples and it blew everything else out of the water.

Dell has a sale on now on Canon cameras. Originally $299, marked down to $224 shipped (with a code from a "very warm deals" site). On top of that, if you play the Dell game referenced elsewhere in these forums, you can get a $20 off $200 coupon that is stackable. Made my price $204 (plus tax on top).

Bought it with my platnium credit card and added extra year warranty, awesome price for this great camera. Very high reviews from the camera review sites.

i thought vivitar used to make those $30~50 cheap ass cameras. but one thing i have to say about this camera is it includes 64MB SD card which the very new $353 Canon SD30 only has one small 16MB. what is canon thinking...

Yeah...Canon must have bought a lot of those 16MB cards way back when and is still trying to unload them.... 64 really isn't too much better.

Vivitar is pretty low quality because they just rebrand the lowest bidder from what I've been told.

Here's some Digital Camera picks. And here's some reviews you can check out. I want a Canon EOS 20D, but can't afford it right now, so I went to the 6-7 megapixel consumer choices (just something til I save enough) and read the reviews, then checked out prices.
