I also got a 12mp digital camera for 80.00 by watching the "morning deals" on www.consumerist.com



I'm "assuming" mine was purchased at Costco with rebate/coupon. [The Costco Concierge # kind of gives it away].

It's about the size of a pack of cigarettes and it's hard for me to take it seriously when I'm using it.



Sounds similar to mine.

I've been looking for a smaller camera. I'm pretty happy with my little 5MP, but it's just too big to carry easily in my pocket. And, the little camera on my phone SUCKS. So I miss out on capturing/sharing stuff.

I was determined to find a little camera that could do some video after I followed behind this fat fireplug of a policewoman on my way to Penn Station. She was supposed working the parade crowd on Thanksgiving but instead was talking on her cell, and she had her gun in an easy-to-snatch position. Would have been a great clip.

I learned that at 12mp it was better to zoom out on the camera and then zoom in and crop for prints.




Thx again for the great tip.
