Nikon Coolpix L3

Pros: Quality JPEGs in the top two modes Excellent movies. Lots of Menu choices.

Cons: Shutter Lag can be extreme, chooses flash too often on automatic. Too many menu options can be confusing

Summary: I picked up this L3 with 2 sets of batteries and an included charger, and a 256M SD card for USD $219 in Singapore which is pretty much the same as discount mail order US prices. I got a white one and my buddy got a silver brushed metal one at the same time. As a longtime user of top end pro dSLR cameras the shutter lag is truely annoying but the L3 fits a shirt pocket and is a good compromise on price/function/size.
