Not at all Paul … it's just that you suggested the FZ-80 - which, even on sale - costs around $280 …
The previous model is still available new - and comes closer to the $130 budget - Google it!!!
I wouldn't know about cellphones - since I don't have one, but, I think you need to pay for them, monthly.
FYI - when you get a new cell phone you have the option of paying for it in full at the time or pay monthly until it is paid off.
I could not find the DMC-FZ70 from a reputable dealer with 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEE. There is, however, the Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS70 which IS still current that I suggested.
