I love the FAQ. Basically everything is “if you don’t like it, piss off.” That’s my kind of thinking.

Looks like a good deal on there now for that camera. If I didnt buy a new camera last week I would have picked this up.

Yea the two things I got were small like $20-30 items.

The friend who got the Xbox was fine. It was a core system which was cheaper but for a $5 grab bag, he wasnt complaining. Worked great and still is working now.

Woot is awesome.

However - the camera is ok. My friend has that camera and even compared to my 5 year old Canon Powershot A510, the pictures come out sort of unclear, despite being 7MP.

I LOVE widescreen shots however, and this camera is very inexpensive when it comes to that genre. The touchscreen is also a pretty cool feature - especially when you are at a club and you are showing girls pictures and you start touching the screen and they are like “ohhhh, that’s so cool!”

However, the battery life blows and we were only able to get about 90 pictures of it because of the “oooo and ahhhs” we got out of the touchscreen. Everyone wanted to look at the pictures, and everyone wanted to touch the screen.

The wide angle is definitely hot though, and this camera was definitely smallish.

That is a good deal if you are looking for a touch screen / wideangle / inexpensive digicam with accessories… but if you are even a bit picky about how your pictures come out, stay away…

I love woot.

Its not high end stuff, but usually decent for what it is - Say Target level stuff.

A ton of steals can be had during wootoffs…

Bought from them prolly 4-5 times in the last ~5 years.
