I got one and I like it. I'm no photography guru, but I like how it's pretty simple and the 3" screen is nice. Capable of using a 4gb memory stick pro duo if you have one.

I've used one, I like it. Very bright and big screen. I like that it is touch too. Has a pretty strong flash and takes some pretty good pics

If you do decide to get the N2, (or whatever digicam you plan on getting) I could give you a $15 off $100 coupon code from circuit city to help lower the price.

Megapixels don't mean much of anything for image quality when you're dealing with these little compact models. The lenses just don't have the resolving power.

What are you going to use the camera for?

Save some money and go with a Fuji F20 for $169, or if you forsee using semi-manual controls at some point in the future, the F30 for $209 after a $50 rebate.

They have the same lens and sensor, the F30 has stuff like aperture- or shutter-priority auto modes and some more advanced controls whereas the F20 does not. The big advantage with both of these cameras is they have a very solid lens, and the sensor kicks the crap out of any other non-SLR sensor in overall image quality, and specifically in per-pixel sharpness, overall noise performance, low-light noise performance, and high ISO noise performance. What that means is either one is the ultimate camera for having social pictures in dark bars come out nice and clear.
