Had been looking for a used P&S for a while to replace my Sony DSC-W5 that has a broken battery door. Tried a Canon A1400 but within a day it developed lens constipation so it went back. Found a Nikon P60 on ebay for $39 that was listed as like new. Paid $50 OTD. Received it recently and it looks like a keeper. As it turns out it came in a box showing it had been refurbished by Cameta Camera, with the original Cameta receipt and all manuals, software, cables and 512mb SD card. It looks to be in almost new condition. LCD is perfect as is the EVF Viewfinder(no diopter
). A viewfinder, AA Batteries and very impressive specs for a pocket-able camera. Based on some of the photo samples I've found on-line it looks very capable in the right hands. Nothing blooming here yet so sample photos are all I could manage so far. Notice the clarity of the dust particles!
Still digesting the manual but so far I'm ecstatic! Shout out to Nymphadora for recommending this camera in a recent thread!
