There was a refurb F40fd last week for $75
but it's gone now

yea $75 is a good price  but the only thing good about the F40fd is its small

the way to find a camera  is to read the ads, go to the store  like bestbuy
and handle the cameras , write down the ones you like  and google the reviews

the reviews i like are on steve's digicam, cnet,  imageresources etc

The way to find a camera is to actually buy it and try it for a few months yourself.  If you don't like, just sell it and get another one.

(I had a sony T7, it did not even support Manual mode LOL.......and the battery life pissed me off)

F100fd is 100% auto as well.  I sold mine not too long ago.

maybe I should look into something older like f50fd...?
I googled and found it's the last of the series that still has manual?

The "manual" mode lets you set things like ISO and white balance.  Totally useless.
F200fd is the one you want to get, but you might as well wait for the new cheap F70fd

wow.............so "amazing".......

so F70fd offers a true manual mode?

I haven't seen one but I believe so
but I agree with CP that there isn't much point to shoot manual on a super compact dc
