The other day I picked up a Nikon D100 and a Sigma 70-300mm zoom for $200.00
used in near mint condition. I've seen Olympus and Pentax DSLRs going for
as low as $175.00 as "open box" (store demos). Why would I even consider
(barring the extreme need for portability) a P&S?


Have you ever visited an active volcano during an eruption?

I this April just past (Rabaul in new Guinea). My weapon of choice was my trusty old Canon S2 IS.

A DSLR does not last long there.
