I'm not locked in on the $100.	I'd do $200 but the other feature I want
is that I won't be heartbroken if the camera grows legs and walks off.

I have SD cards coming out of my a...er...airlock.  Microcenter has a
store
here and 1Gig cards are $8 and 2gig cards are $13 at the last sale.

I like video because I can set it up on a tripod and let it run or hand
it
to someone and say "film it."  That's a lot harder to do with a digital 
camera.
