Just wanted to let you guys know that I did end up buying a new camera. I found a great price on a great Nikon, and considering the extremely good experience I had with the last one and the excellent price I decided to buy it. I got an MSRP $500 camera for about $370. I also bought a large memory card (256MB) for about $70-80. The Nikon was about $20 more expensive than the Kyocera I was looking at previously, but it is a 5Megapixel camera instead of a 4megapixel. It is also smaller in size, and the image quality should be (and has been so far) excellent compared to the average reviews for the Kyocera. So I`m happy with the purchase. Attached are some photos of the camera (taken with my Host Family`s camera and resized) and a picture taken with my new camera (also cropped and resized some). Enjoy, and I`ll enjoy too. Thanks for the help with this, and I`m sure I`ll get as much good use out of this one as the last one.
