Help me find woot-like deal on a Samsung digital camera

which was Samsung 12MP Digital Camera with 15x Optical Zoom & Schneider Lens - Samsung HZ30W - for $120 which was a year ago.

i assume a better camera today would go for about the same.

<$200
good zoom like above or better
good manual control for long exposure
no need for wifi, no need for touch screen, possible gps (not necessary)

maybe it does not need to be Samsung, but i am looking to replace Panasonic DMC-ZS6 (http://www.woot.com/offers/panasonic-12mp-digital-camera-with-leica-12x-optical-zoom-and-hd-video) which is now unusable and i thought Samsung was a close enough competitor.

I purchased the Samsung WB750 earlier this year. 12.5MP, 18x optical zoom, Schneider lens. Has manual control and several good auto settings, it also allows manual control of the flash within the auto settings. It has awesome low light pictures (depending on how low the light, you might use different auto settings) and the Panoramic feature is fabulous. I paid $150 at BJs wholesale and I couldn't find it for lower than $200 anywhere else at the time. Amazon has it for $149 now and eBay has a refurbished version for $139.99. Both appear to be free shipping.

I did a lot of research (I don't know a whole lot about cameras though) and this one got lots of excellent reviews. I am totally pleased with it and highly recommend it.

@mkdr: cool option. thanks for amazon link. does manual mode not allow exposure longer than 16 seconds?

@jamesbottomtooth: I'm sorry, this how little I really know about cameras...I can't figure out the answer to your question. It isn't in the manual either.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
