Nikon CoolPix Hunting Camera System - L15 8MP Digital Camera

you can find them for 199.95 online, they come with an awesome case and a gorilla tripod

its pretty cheap comparatively speaking and you get a lot of pixels for the buck.

so I was actually planning to buy myself one ..you an a xmas gift for myself :-p

did you buy the sd card???

Posted by glass on Dec-17-2007 17:08:

I have a gig card and a 500 mb card, that should hold me over.

so is it worth the extra $100 to get one with IS? i haven't used a camera with IS before so i don't know what difference it makes... but i'm looking to upgrade my old bulky A-series Canon with one of their newer/smaller models.

right now i'm leaning towards the SD1000 (primarily because of the size + price), but i'm also looking at the SD800 and SD850.

Chelsea and I just picked up the SD1000 I believe a few months back and love it. The pictures seem to turn out really good and you cant beat the size. I love being able to just put in my pocket.
