New The prices on PriceGrabber seem to be old.
B&H is usually quite competitive but not the absolute cheapest. I've bought a lot of stuff from them, sold them some used equipment, and have been happy with them.

They want [link|http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=348425&is=REG|$500] while PriceGrabber lists them as $600 for the 750Z. It may be that other sites have lower prices as well.

Check [link|http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=Optio+750Z&hl=en&lr=&tab=wf&pid=4701738945615954726|Froogle] too.

Be sure you're getting a US (or equivalent) warranty. Lots of places sell cameras without a US warranty and thus charge less for them.

Check out [link|http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Pentax/pentax_optio750z.asp|DP Review] for some information on it and 3 reviews from owners.

Luck! HTH.

Cheers,
Scott.

New You just confirmed my choice of vendors.

B&H seems very good for most people... but I just can't see spending another $60.

Thanks for your input though. The reviews are what I needed to see as well.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]
