I will never buy another point-and-shoot digital camera that isn't Samsung.

I got a Samsung Digital Model S85 camera in June at WalMart for
$105.
Eight MegaPixels, 5X optical zoom, plenty of shooting modes.
Very good macro mode for close-ups of flowers, etc.
Heck, for this thread, I suspect it would do nice photos and
close-ups of rifles, pistols and revolvers for that matter!
(It was the last one they had at WalMart in Columbia, MO at
the time.)

It ain't a Digital SLR, the shutter release is a bit slow...
but for $105 I am VERY Happy.
If something breaks, or some larcenous stinker runs off with it...
well, I've probably will have gotten $105 worth of use out of it already!

Not that I'm down on Japan...but sending some $ to South Korea
is a nice change of pace.

Good deal! I’ve made a note of it! It’s starting to look like we can get a really decent digital camera for “about” a hundred bucks. It was really bad timing...both cameras here broke at ONCE. Ah well...that’s the way it always works. :-)
