Just got my Photon 3 in the mail. This thing is pretty slick. The new electronics are difficult to use, but I guess it's worth it. To switch to the different modes, you must hold down the rear button and it just cycles through the modes. The case design is MUCH better now though, it doesn't come apart in two pieces like the Photon I and Photon II did, it just has a battery cover that pops off...very slick and sturdy. I paid $18.75 including shipping off e-bay. This toy comes recommended.
