I needed a micro camera for hiking and fishing so I picked up this one. Pretty good price at 170, and love the 1 second from power on to snapping pics. So far its perfect for what I got it for.

Great little camera, 12.1 MP (4011 × 3011), & HD video (1280x720). I wanted a point and click to hold me over until I can get a Sony DSLR camera. And the fact that you can pick this camera for under $200 makes it all the better

What do you think of your tripod? Been looking to get a good one, and not really sure where to look first...

Most excellent tripod. Not even slight bending even at full length even with a full load on the head with over 40km wind gust (D300/D10/f2.8 70-200mm) <<<Some serious weight.

Speaking of a ball/head, make sure you pay the money for a good one with over 25-50lbs of load. It'll cost you from around $250-450 for a most excellent one.

Swing over to Adorama and B&H and read the reviews. Don't do like I did and skimp on my first ball/head/plate. lol Pay the coinage and you will not be disappointed.

Cool...I'll check out Adorama's site first, as that's where I bought my camera from anyway

I find B&H about 5-10% cheaper than @ Adaroma. Shipping is damn fast and a bit cheaper than Adorama as well. Both are great sites tho.

Well, I ordered my tri-pod today. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch some nice shots and post for you.

No, I was just kidding.

At one time this same model was one of my favorite cameras, years ago when I was getting into digicams. It's a good little camera and takes decent shots but it's a pain to use compared to newer models and I'd kind of hate to go back to using these again.

I was actually thinking of using my old 35mm cameras and experiment. I still have my Canon AE-1 and a Yashica Minister D.

Surprisingly, I love this beast but it's nothing I'd want dangling off my neck on a motorcycle ride.
