It's OK to agree on some things.

It's a good little camera for someone looking for something they can do nice sized prints if they wanted to. If you can get it for a deal, I'd say pick it up.

You can research used camera values at www.keh.com and just see what they do go for on ebay.

Fuji does a good job copying Nikon equipment. I'm a Nikon snob so I'd shoot the fuji if my stuff wasn't available.

With the 6 mp camera you will want to get at LEAST a GIG sd card for it. If you don't you'll find yourself turning down the res just to have room on the card. This is an OK solution IF you aren't planning to make prints.

Off my 6 mp camera I can run a 2' x3' print with very little pixlation.

Also double check battery availability and useage. I forgot to look to see if this takes its own rechargeable battery or if it uses AA's. Alkalines get eaten up pretty quickly with this kind of camera. NiCads do too.

Power supply would be a HUGE selling point for me.

Good luck buying and selling.
