Any camera aficionados in this here website forum place? I'm looking at buying a new point and shoot camera and have started reading up on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-zs7. Amazon (www.amazon.com) is currently selling it on sale for $250. It includes cool whiz-bang things like a gps for in-camera geotagging, a 3 inch lcd screen, and AVCHD movie mode.

Costco is currently selling a slightly stripped down version called the Lumix DMC-zx6 that doesn't have the same movie mode. Instead it has some sort of movie mode that is limited to 8 minutes. It also doesn't have the gps. It's listed at $250 right now as well. I'm going to Yosemite next week so I need get to get a digital camera right now otherwise I'd go ahead and order the one from Amazon. That being the case, I'll probably buy the one at Costco and return it when I get back.

So has anyone else lately done any camera shopping/comparing?
