I ended up buying this camera after sending TJarv the link to it. It was a one of a kind
item at B&H, and now it is a none of a kind.....$180 and its the cleanest used camera
I ever saw. Not a blemish on the screen or the lens.

I like the combination of the manual zoom and the choice of either manual focus or autofocus.
In practice its a lot more work than I am used to, so spoiled by a superzoom lately, but when I actually
take it out for a walk or on a trip, I have no problem believing that I will dig it. All my 58mm filters
are useless, haha. Its as close to a DSLR as I think you can get in a bridge camera. The low light
performance is about perfect in relation to what I am used to. All the controls you need on the camera
are on it with only the obscurities hidden in menus.
