- Good luck, especially if you want anything that will last.
-
- The databack kinda throws a wrench into the works, so I'm not
- sure as far as prices go.
-
- I also don't quite know the prices in your area, but I'd suggest
- taking a look at the Nikon One Touch 100 and/or Olympus Infinity Jr,
- provided that they (or their successors) still exist.
-
- If you can't find what you want in a quality brand, it's time to
- re-evaluate your *musts* list. The thing I hated the most when I
- worked retail is the customer who thinks that the Ansco model which is
- $50 cheaper will last past Christmas day.
