camera?

[labrujah]

Ok so I need a new camera so I can post photos of the giant pink dress I bought yesterday which I want to make into a halloween costume but I don't know of what.

The last time I had a giant pink dress for halloween, I was a wedding cake and wore a bride and groom cake topper on my head. And I caught on fire!

So, should I buy a camera from overstock.com? Obviously I'd get a brand name one. They are all refurbished I think. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with any of them.

Or should I just suck it up and go to B&H or Adorama? I am thinking of just getting the same camera I had (either a Canon S200 or S400) because I have extra compatible batteries, charger, cords, memory card etc. because I lost TWO of them. And never putting it on my wrist again. I could get a more basic version (the S200) for $200 which is my spending limit.

So basically for $200, can I get something better than a new Canon S200? They have some crazy like low-level SLRs on Overstock.

I'm going to miss the manual functions of my last camera (which would be more like $300 to replace). I had the S200 for 2 or 3 years and I liked it pretty well although it was a little clunky.

ditto about amazon. Both amazon and overstock are great b/c their shipping is free or $1. I can't say much but people do say Canon is good. My Kodak is functional, not great but still alive after 2 1/2 years.

Hi, substitute told me to add you. He said you have lots of good links to interesting things in NY. I already am on the mailing list to Nonsense NYC, but thought I would stop in and say hello.

hiya (which is not really hello, but close enough)
