This bit threw me a little:
ScubaSteve772:For what this camera is... and took adequate pictures for a point and shoot (some issues with colors and auto focus, but in the range of what I expected for a $300 camera).
I had no idea this thing was so expensive! I'm glad that you are happy with your results, but I have to say for those who are still looking that for just another $100 or so there are several options out there that will do an even better job in a wider range of circumstances. But if you don't have the extra it's all moot
