Re: small camera

    There are some real bargains out there on new digital cameras. Sales for 
them during Christmas was down 35% from what they anticipated. They say the 
loss in sales is due to the better cameras in cell phones.
    Store prices haven't dropped that much yet but you can find 50% 
discounts on the internet (and you will save state sales taxes which are 
around another 10% :-)
