    eCost right now has the Olympus Stylus 8000 "Tough" camera for $139.99 as a factory refurb; with tax & shipping my test cart totaled out at $164.01 with a San Antonio destination. Your tax rate/shipping cost will, of course, vary.

    eCOST.com - Olympus 12-MegaPixel Stylus 8000 Shockproof / Waterproof Digital Camera - Blue - 226875

    We've spent some time and numerous threads discussing this camera here; just thought I'd let those of my fellow members who have been thinking about one know about this deal.

    Good luck and good shooting,

    I have the Pany Tough Camera (TS2) - much better picture quality than Olympus 8000 but not quite as tough (but still tough enough for a pany fan boy :D ).

    Anyways, to the OP. yeah, that's a pretty damn good deal.

    P.S, I'm sure that anything *tough* is NOT *OT* here... :D

    So what was the model number on that Sony?
