$99 camera - the Panasonc DMC-LZ8K

For the gadget freaks out there who love to use and re-use their re-chargeable AA-size batteries, we have a hot deal. For a mere $99, you can get the Panasonic DMC-LZ8K. This is sold by Beach-Cameras at Amazon.com. Free shipping and handling is included.

It has an eight-megapixel sensor with a five-times optical zoom lens with image stabilization, which Panasonic calls MegaOIS. It has a 2.5-inch LCD display, and its lens starts at 32mm wide. Not quite wide-wide, but wider than most compact digital camera out there.

It's really hard to get a better brand new-in-box digital camera for $99!
