Rant on their Facebook? I know a few people that have gone this route and had success with other companies.

You have to be a member of Facebook to do that. I would never join Facebook...NEVAH!

Besides what is done is done, there is no getting my broken camera back, and where would
it get me anyway? There are supposedly no parts available, or no DC converter boards available.
I just hate what they gave me. I liked what I had. Now I get to hate everything about them
for as long as I can continue to be interested in doing it. Its like computers, I know people
who hoard computers with WindowsXP on em. Cameras turn over far too fast in that segment
of the lineup. "I want more zoom!, I want HD movies, I want angry birds..." Its a FU(&ING still
camera, people....why you gotta mess me up?

The wife and I were greeted with this on our Christmas evening walk. It was so cloudy 15 minutes before this that we were headed back to the car because I was convinced it was going to be a grey and bland sunset.

This is the .jpg straight out of the camera and the only thing done to it is imageshack's resizing.

Nice pic - great sunset. Looks like Point Loma shot from Coronado

I need to find the one of the 5 year old smoking the BBF at the Bacchus Parade a few years back.
NOW THAT was exploitation. I am not talking about HOLDING the BBF, girl was SMOKING it. Her dad
grinning nearby. Fun day.

Hey boys and maybe girls....I have too many cameras, BUT naturally I am always shopping for another one.
I never buy anything new, and B&H Photo always has a nice selection of used cameras. Since I can't
in good conscience BUY this camera, maybe someone out there in the halls of the asylum CAN. It is not
a outstanding camera by any stretch, but it reviewd pretty good back in the day, and it offers full manual
controls in a compact body, still has a very respectable megapixel count, you know, before everything got
out of control and people started thinking more always meant better? And I guess about the only thing out of
date on this camera is the fact that 12x zoom on a 'super-zoom" is not all that super anymore. But for $75??
You could do A HELL OF A LOT WORSE. Maybe you need a glove-box cam, or have a child whom you'd like to
see become a shutterbug, just not using YOUR 5hiT, lol....it is a condition 8+, which on their scale
means it has a few scuffs and maybe some of the coating is scratched on the LCD screen, but once the light
comes on, that is meaningless anyway. but if they are selling it, it works fine and again, its not a bad lil camera.

If you buy it, drop me a quick PM....I'd kind of like to know someone here got it.

Too late...I broke down.

I have no comment on a photo that wacked over with effects, Justin, lol.

I will say that it is always best to just go with your first instincts though.
It was an hour after I ordered that used $75 camera before I found out
it didn't have a diopter adjustment wheel. What the hell is a viewfinder guy
gonna do with a viewfinder that's only good for young folks with good eyes?
Use the LCD??
Come on.

Lol heck, pretty soon there won't be any viewfinders

Ok guys. Sold my rifle to get back into photography. Ammo prices are stupid right now and will be for a good time to come. So I'm back.

I'm looking at a couple used bodies right now from Keh. I previously had a Nikon D90.
I'm torn between another D90 ($415), Canon 50D ($465), and Canon 60D ($619). What says the hive?

Buy the 50D or D90 and spend the extra on better glass. That is my opinion. You'll keep the glass for much longer than the body.
