I was on amazon.com comparing the following:

Those are about all I can afford at the low end, and stretching my
budget at the high end.

But are there any major differences?

If I want to be able to take decent video and still shots at night, from
about 50' away, will the 108 do? If I want to be able to print them out
and show them to people for ID purposes? I'm doing some PI work on a
shoestring.
