    I bought a, what I was told, brand new Sony TZ150n/b w/ free upgrade to 2GB ram installed for $1,675.00 (plus $49 s&h). That is good right? Or do you think I should have bought the TZ250 (I think that's the model #) for $2,099.00 (plus s&h, case & crapware removed for free)? I am only going to be using it for email, youtube, myspace, and looking around the web and the stats between both models seemed to me to be pretty close. Was it worth the savings or should I just have spent the extra $400?

    TZ150 for such a price is a GREAT deal, especially when it's upgraded to 2GB!!! Congrats! I am enjoying my TZ for the last 2 weeks!

    Thank you :) .... Is the camera upgraded to 1.5 from 0.5 on the new model? I keep reading it is or it is a misprint so I'm not sure? Was there any other upgrades or just a little quicker?

    ebay. I know I know but the guy had I think 2031 sales and he was at 99.4% he answered all my emails and it looks like he sent my computer out the same night (FedEx tracking says I'll get it Friday) it was buy it now (think he had one more) and it included the free 2GB upgrade. Just for tourture what "sleeve" was P1 including w/the newer TZ250 anyone know? Not the one that is like $145 right???? :( Well I still have some mall gift cards that I got from christmas so I guess I can count that as a free case when I go to sony style and use my gift card...

    Anyone ever do business on ebay with: nexusi
