Pimp my Biodiesel!

After all my bellyaching, I figured I'd share an inspirational tale. This was mentioned on "FutureCar" on the Science Channel, and I did a bit more digging.

Students in a 71% free or reduced lunch, 98% black inner city school build an award winning alternative fuel car.

Camera

I bought one. I hope this doesn't come across as bragging, but somewhat informational instead.

Despite attempting to save for a condo/house, I did splurge $159.95 on a Fujifilm F20.

Now, the point of this post is why? Not why I bought a camera, which is pretty obvious to anyone who knows me, but why THIS camera. I'm hoping that these might be points you can consider when looking for a camera of your own in the future. I made my decision based upon my judgement; you may want to put more weight on style, size, LCD size, speed or splash-proofness, for example.
