    On Friday I was surfing the Sony Style site comparing the FZ160 and FZ180 models. I then went to the Sony Store to touch and feel the beauties. But decided I wanted a machine somewhere betwixt the two.

    On Saturday I got on their website to order a FZ190 (so I could configure it to my wants). I noticed though that the FZ160 was no longer listed on the Sony website. Has the base model been dropped in favor of just the 180 and the configurable 190?

    I believe that they FZ140 and FZ160 are being mainly sold through retailers like best buy now.

    If you're planning to buy retail don't go to Best buy they tend to charge more then other stores.
