I got a Sony DSC-P30 digital Camera. It has 1.3mp, 3x optical, and 2x digital zoom.
P30
I was considering this, the P50, P31, and the P51. I was walking around the Staples next to Walmart today and I saw that the P30 was on clearance for $180. I fingered the 30 off 150 coupon in my pocket and asked if I could mess around with it a little. The guy couldn't find the batteries and couldn't find another box to open. I was about to leave when I figured I'd have to get one sooner or later, and it looked like a good deal. So, the guy took $20 off the $180 so its $160 now. Since he couldn't find the batteries that came with the thing, I got him to throw in a pair of Maxell 1600mah nimh batteries in place. Then, as I was going through the box, I couldn't find the 4meg memory stick that it comes with, so then I got him to sell me a sony 64meg stick for 30 bucks. So, after everything, I walked out with the display model camera, a 64 meg card in place of a 4, and rechargable nimhs in place of the alkalines for about 180-190 after tax, coupon and all.
I then stopped by target, and get an Energizer nimh charger that came with 4 1700mah nimh's for 24 bucks. So I spent a total of like 215 today for my Sony. What do you guys think?
I went through 2 pairs of alkalines already and am waiting impatiently for my nimhs to finish charging already. I already have 4 candid pics, and a small mpeg of a friend scratching his ass cuzz he didn't know I could record movies.
