Got one for $108.00 shipped on their boxing day sale. Good camera for this price.
16 Megapixels with 26x Optical zoom.
Only downside is its not rechargeable and takes 4 AA batteries but good for ozbargainers that have collection of Eneloop batteries.
yeah if you prefer it that way even better. each to their own. :)
I remember this deal. It was here last year @ the same price
yeah but they have increased shipping from $9 to $19. still a good deal.

Anything about the quality of this model? Cant find a single thing on the internet.
there are a few reviews around. A few things that have been mentioned are
I took these photos with the WB100. The quality is very good for this price. The zoom is even better.. but you need a stand at max zoom otherwise it is difficult to control.
nice pics!
Do you think there is anything else comparable to this for around the same price?
Cannot help you with that. I'm not even a casual photographer. I just wanted a cheap moderately decent camera for the airshow at that time and MLN had this deal then. I read up on some reviews which were mostly positive so I bought it from them.
Video recording is quite decent as well. Brought the camera to the airshow at 10am and with the above pics and about 10gb of video recording… the batteries lasted me till around 8pm
EDIT: Sorry… over exaggerated on the video… not 10gb.. just around 660mb lol :p
Did your photo link just get ozbargained?
Just added some videos to the link as well. The sound quality was shutting on and off whilst zooming in and out but that was due to me not configuring the setting right. Also the auto focus does take a while to set during recording.
But for $99, I'm very happy with the purchase
just reposting review links from the old deal:

Pretty good camera, have used it on my trip to America and in dark stadiums all with good results.
Man, it was not that long ago that I have paid $699 for a 1 megapixel 2x zoom camera.
Yeh I bought my first digital camera a Kodak 1.3 megapixel many years ago cost $1000 its under the bed somewhere now.
The only minor problem is the resolution of the LCD screen. It makes you think the picture you've just taken is not sharp enough.
This has been here lots of times.
Same camera as Nikon L310 and Sony DSC-H100, so check reviews on those. Good for the price if you want a super-zoom.
It's not a downside I loathe that my new camera doesn't take AA. So dahm annoying to worry that if I run out of power I cant pay $2 on holiday for batteries instantly.
