Hello all,
A few days ago, I bought a new digital camera. My old one's battery had died, and replacing it would be costly. Well, my battery works fine now, so I have two digital cameras. I can't return the shiny new one because it's 5 days old and I opened the box. Ugh. So, if any one wants this camera (the new Casio Exilim EX: Z150), please come get it.

* It includes an authentic Exilim leather case and a 2 gigabyte memory card.
* It has a huge LCD display screen and and has 8.1 megapixels.
* It also has a wide optical zoom of 28mm 4x optimum resolution. I took one picture with it.
* Obviously, the warranty specs are all in order for an entire year from the purchase date. It's 5 days old, people.
* I bought it for Won 320,000 Won and will sell the entire package for 270,000 (or best offer)!

It sucks for me, but it's a great deal if you're in the market for a new digital camera. I'm an English professor and I live in Dandaeogoeri Station, on Line 8, but I can can meet you anywhere in Seoul or the satellite cities to sell it. My e-mail is [email protected].
Peace and hair grease~

Fondly,
DKM

Hey Professor:

This camera new is US$129.00

http://www.google.com/products/catalog?sourceid=navclient&rlz=1T4GGIH_enKR265KR265&q=Casio+Exilim+EX:+Z150&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=2029769637502881072&ei=wJEGSqbbDJGBkQXxn7DnDg&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=4#ps-sellers

Since the box is opened I'll give you 50% off retail. (basic rule)

So, US$65.00 or KRW80,000, OK?

Sorry, including the mem card and the case? And that's in the US. In Korea, the price is actually much higher:

80,000 won? I'll give it to a friend first.

I have frequently seen lower end digital cameras, computers, and similar electronics cost twice the price in Korea that they would cost in the US. People need to do their homework before buying these kinds of things. 6 megapixels would be fine even if you were printing as sizes up to the size of A4 paper which I doubt most people who own a compact do.
My words of advice, if you buy a point and shoot don't get bigger than 6 megapixels, buy it in the US and have it shipped here, pay more attention to the quality and aperture of the lens, and don't buy it unless is Canon (they are hackable and can provide you with advanced features), Nikon, or Panasonic (they use Leica technology).
