Wanted: Nikon Coolpix 700


Friends. Help me out. My camera hunting is becoming odd and exotic. But if any of you have this camera or know of someone who owns it let me know if they're willing to sell or GIVE it to me. I'd like to try shooting with it. PS I know it's digital.

The following specs are from Lonestardigital.com:
