Was shopping around for a cheap camera last night was looking around the $150 price range nearly went for a Toshiba s20 from amazon but delivery was expected to arrive late april early may and that was with express postage option but i needed it by the weekend.
I then found this deal on big-w website for the JVC GC-FM1 Picsio delivered for $114
Purchase and called them up in the morning and its already been shipped.
For the price and reviews i have seen it a decent budget camera.
