It was $99.99( Just pennies more than Walmart). I got it for my 9 year old daughter to take to summer camp.  We had about a month to learn how to use it. It has so many features you really have to read the directions & practice with it.  On July 4th the lens cover wouldn't  close all the way & it wouldn't retract unless you gently pushed it in.  I took it back to Radio Shack & the kindly exchanged it.  She took some great pictures both in the daylight & night time. Wonderful fireworks pictures!  Recently, I was carrying it & somehow formatted the card & lost all my pictures & video.  I have now idea what happened, but I had most of the pictures downloaded on my computer.  It does use a lot of batteries, but I use lithium & they last much longer  I always carry extra "AA" batteries with me.  It also has simple directions on how to take better pictures when you turn the dial to that feature.  I love the image stabilization......

I spent more money on extended warranties, I could have just bought another model.  I have gotten a new drum, new computer board, the "anti- smell" kit recall, new soap dispenser, new motor, new belt...not sure what else.  I did have a great local repair company that told me to get the extended warranty & wait 30 days to get it fixed the first time.  Glad I did since it was one of many trips he had to make back.  My Extended warranty is done now, so the next time it breaks, I'll be looking for something different. Sad too, since they were a matched pair & are seen right when you walk in our back door.  I woudn't recommend them, the repair man recommended the Whirlpool Duet.  I'll be checking them out next time....
