Charles, If you or anyone else is interested, I have a brand new, never taken out of the box - Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 5mp, image stabilized P+S which I recently won in a local photo contest. Includes camera, battery pack & charger, AV & USB cables, software CD-Rom,lens cap,strap & operating instructions. B+H gets $284.95 for this.
I'm willing to sell for the best offer over $225. Buyer pays shipping. I'm sorely tempted to keep this but I have an Optio S that I really enjoy. Contact me off list if interested.
