Here's the deals:

CoolPix 950 at Mercata After Mercata Dollars and 20% MSN discount its $536 + tax/shipping. Plus $150 rebate.

Fuji FinePix 2400 at Mercata After Mercata Dollars and 20% MSN discount its $239 + tax/shipping.

Panasonic PV-SD4090 at
Mercata After Mercata Dollars and 20% MSN discount its $415 + tax/shipping. Plus $100

With all the deals out there, does anyone have suggestions? Right now, the Panasonic is looking nice to me. Good price, uses 120 meg cheap superdisks...plenty of space. Quality doesn't look that great, but I'm not sure of the practicality of taking a few pictures on a small compact flash. I want a camera I can take pics with away from my PC.

For camera reviews, I really like Steve's Digicams. It is a very informative site, gives the ups and downs of each camera. The Panasonic PV-SD4090 I think he said was slow(disk access speeds) and a little noisy. Check it out though. Good luck!

I got 100 USD credit although I already a member
not only they check cc ,name, zip baba, most important is they already put something on ur pc , and u don;t know it, those thing first identify out if u r already member

1. if u don't have netscape. install netscape, using that go mercata's site, if there is a small popup window , means u half done, then switch ur address and credit card.
2. if not working, just install another copy of windows on ur system, like I installed win2000 on system, also win98. that will be sure 100% clean. and rest is changing creditcard info and address.( let them mail to ur mama... etc), for credit card address, u can simple just call the CC company now using tollfree to change ur address to ur mama's address , once u got 100 USDand spent it , just call them and change back, haha, well u can also change ur name little bit on that too, if u so concern about they will find out, like call cc company say , my last name have 1 more letter in between . and same, after all money spent , change back. no big deal.

For some reason that sounds like some big time fraud, and that could be punished pretty highly. But then again, maybe I am just being too cautious.

well, just assume u will go to ur mama's place for xmas vacation and stay for 1 month, so you change the credit card billing address to there. that is such a fair reason. even they have same name in database, but different address , that will be 100% OK! how many johns, toms, tommy, joe....in US.
it is legal to to change ur billing address, and it also legal u forget , or didn't pay attention their rules for first costomer. or just let billing address to ur workplace, school, that is so common. oh, credit card # is a must change though.

Why format your computer? Just remove the cookies, there's nothing they could leave to identify you but cookies. But like most have said, they use a really complex identification mechanism, which probably includes name, address, email, phone number, etc.
