For $50 more, you can get the CanonS100, which is the best point and shoot camera you can buy

Sure has a LOT of bad reviews on amazon for the best point and shoot camera you can buy.'

I have one of these from a couple years back and it is great

This is only 69 bucks

Only because of the lens error thing that has been fixed. The S100 is widely regarded in camera forums as the best point and click camera on the market.

I was looking at that earlier and the price is right for sure. Just not familar with the seller and don't know if they can have it to me by next week.

Is it a good camera.

Ive had a couple cybershots over the years with no issues... easy, cheap and reliable.

Couldn't tell you if it is a good camera. From what I can tell the seller is reputable though.

Just saw this on Amazon as a "deal of the day" or whatever they call it:

Ken Rockwell is considered one of the best resources for this info -he tests them all and gives reasoning -Ive been reading his stuff for almost 10 years.

also -he agrees with World of Warcraft -Canon S100

Thanks but I ended up grabbing a Panasonic ZS19 last night.

Costco had a bundle for 159$. It had the camera,case and 8gb card
in it.

Did they do a recall on it or just current gen models fixed?

You should report back later on how that camera is.

IMO point and shoots are way more important than SLRS because a GOOD camera that you can have on you to get the shot -is way more valuable than a Great Camera that you left in your car or home because you can't keep it with you all of the time.

It's all about capturing the moment -so I think getting the smallest camera with the best possible glass and sensor is the way to go.

Been thinking about getting one of those for myself for quick shooting when I don't have my DSLR with me. Seems like the king of that price class.

Good luck finding some quality for that price.

Recently got a Sony x100 and I'm very satisfied with it

They did a recall, but the newer ones don't have that problem.
