Bought my nikon CP8700 from AP on saturday (3-apr-2004) from steven at S$1620 (incl gst).

but no freebies.
I already have a 2 yr old casio dc at 3.3MP, but no audio during video capture.
My choices were:
Canon S1 SI: pro: antishake, price, video, con: 3MP, image quality, quite bulky still
Fujifilm S7000Z: pro: price, freebies, video, con: handgrip too big for female's hand, 3MP, heavy
Nikon CP8700: pro: image quality, compact, 8MP con: pricey
well, the nikon CP8700 won me over in the end!
