I had been watching a dozen different auctions trying to get a Nikon 5700.. 5 Megapixel camera with 8X optical zoom.
Of course every auction would shoot from $300 to $500 in a matter of minutes near the end of the auction....
... but with some going stock for $510 to $540 I got mine for $460 with a 256meg card (stock card is only 16 or 32.)

BTW... when they first came out, they retailed for $1199.... street price these days for a new one is $700.
<u>Review of Camera</u>
I love all the Pros, and three of the negatives are already nixed... I can get extra batteries for about $20 each, I got the bigger memory card, and the camera wasn't expensive. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Geetar money is still coming...... I sold my Sony Mavica. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nice. I was going a route of that style of camera for a while.
Then I saw where Nikon released the D70 DSLR. I can use all my lenses and filters from my Pronea 6i on it, which is far better than the standard integrated lens of most of the high end ones like that one you just bought. Plus it is 6M res.
now I just have to wait a while for the price to some down, and/or me to save up.

that's a seriously badass looking cam you got there, though. way outta my league. I wouldn't know what to do with it.
