you wish! Specially when they took it out of the box in mint condition! I only wish it came with a better zoom. This one is neither here nor there.

I had over 10K Uni $$$ on my credit cards (big spender over the years!) - that's got me $250in instant Best Denki rewards which brought the price way below $1K. So the retail price may be cheaper elsehwere, but I don't get the discount.
