Scored: Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 @ $189!

Well, while I was looking on amazon just now, the price on the Lumix DMC-ZS8 dropped from around $270 to $189.99

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS8 14.1 MP Digital Camera with 16x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Silver)

The problem of deciding which camera my ladyfriend is getting for her birthday has been solved. If you want one at this price, act fast - the price will go back up.

Score!

[UPDATE: got it yesterday and so far she LOVES it! Also, bonus that we can share the Wasabi Power extra battery/charger kit that I got for my ZS6 as it uses the same batteries!]
