Default My digital cam dealer theft story (cont)

As most of you probably read, my camera was stolen @ my Audi service center (Not going to mention name). A nikon coolpix 950, in my passenger door pocket. Well, the dealer has decided to replace it. With either a direct replacement or a check. The check would probably be between 500 and 600 bucks. This leaves me w/ a few options: Coolpix 950, Fuji Finepix 4800 and Olmpus 3030. I want video recording and prefer CF cards instead of SM, floppy or MMC. Suggestions? Comments on these cams?

Thanks,
Jon Ghenn

Default No BBB, but the service manager insisted upon police involvment....

Which I had no problem with...I thought it was a deterent, so I immediatly agreed to it. After that, he never mentioned police again.

Default Shrunken 950 quality...
