Yeah, I saw that. I like the 120. What do you think of the
'factory refurb' units, as sold on e-bay?
I only have $175 in bank right now and won't get another SS
check till next Thursday.

Scotty, J&R is selling the Casio Z120 for 219.00

http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=4056143

This camera has a real finder, very good focusing, some
manual
settings, a good movie mode and so on. I know you want to
spend a few
bucks less, but this unit will probably be worth a few
extra dollars. I
paid 300 for mine and even at that price, it's quite worth
it. It's
also small, yet easy to handle for my big hands. The only
thing I don't
like is the anti-shake mode which it achieves by boosting
ISO, but you
can turn that off. Focus is really the only limit to
shutter lag which
is very slight. This camera also uses regular AA
rechargeables....no
special battery.

Some shots with the Z120:

And this is more than a 100% crop of an image showing
fairly good
sharpness for such a small optical set.
