...a great deal and it should last me for years.

I thought you were going to just flip this, but if you really plan on keeping it, I'd invest that buck and a half toward a better unit. Not even going to suggest any particular other one, but I just know that is not one to settle on for "years".

HowTF did I read "Airbus A320 owners" in the topic?

A: I'm a disaffected, hypocritical, megalomaniacal, sociopathic asshole. Deal with it. 😛

I'm a casual entry level beginners n00b digicam user this is probably 5x more than what I need.
 
Thanks to Rossman for hooking me up. :beer: I just ordered an A520 from Dell.

However, I paid $151.98 thanks to sales tax here in Texas.
🙁
Tax = $11.58

For some reason Newegg is selling the A510 for $179 and the A520 for $176. Odd.

what?
 
Lens cover still working?

Ready to replace it? You're in luck! Call your local Sears. Mine had three discontinued DSC-V1's in stock for $279.00. If yours has one in stock BUY IT! It's Sears, so very easy to return if you don't like it. For under $300.00 you get:
  • Pocketable camera with 4X optical zoom with Zeiss lens
  • NightShot using on-camera IR illumination and enhanced ISO along with imaging chip IR sensitivity elevation techniques.
  • Night Framing using a small laser projected holographic pattern that can focus on nearby subjects (think 10 - 20 feet or so) in complete and utter darkness.
  • Accessory intelligent hot shoe.
  • Metal body with plastic access hatches.
  • Self-capping fold-up lens that doesn't screw up.
  • Threaded mount for converter lenses.
  • A laser holographic pattern projector helps you focus in total darkness.
Basically a no brainer.
