Hi guys,

I'm looking for a cheap p&s digital camera for around $100.

I see FS and BB has some on sale and I'm debating between these 2:

Pansonic DMCF2K (http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/panasonic-panasonic-10mp-digital-camera-dmcf2k-black-dmcf2k/10141266.aspx?path=666eaea69362ceb26543480f9180756 3en02&lid=fp-10141266-panasonicpanasonic10mpdigitalc-en)

Olympus FE-4030 (http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/olympus-olympus-fe-4030-14mp-digital-camera-white-227535/10140914.aspx?path=3c23800468b5fc2df4eef03e2e86274 fen02)

Which one should I get?

Thanks.

Shoott... I remember back a couple months ago there was that deal at Staples, the Canon SD1200 going for $99!

LOL yeah that looks silly but good price, have you looked at any used ones on craigslist? I wouldn't really hesitate buying a point and shoot just try out everything first flash/zoom and you're pretty much good to go

The sd780is is a pretty good P&S too

I got my DSLR from craigslist. As long as you check everything you should be ok.

This looks ok: http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/pho/1976906075.html
