I think camera prices are just out of control these days. everything and the brother carries huge cameras and lenses with him. heck, this little guy who fits comfortably in my jeans pocket lets me take better photos than most. Everything works perfectly with this camera. Its size is a bit difficult to keep stable when trying to increase the 15x optical zoom. I see it's dropped to $169, I paid about $80 more about 13 months ago, but I'm so glad I've had it in those 13 months.
