Best scale to measure body composition?

I'd like to purchase a scale that measures body composition (fat %, water%, etc.) rather than just weight, does anyone have a suggestion on a brand or model to purchase without breaking the bank?

    I've heard the BodPod Body Composition Tracking System is the most accurate. It's not something you buy though. They have one at the gym I attend and it only takes a couple mins to see the results. I would recommend seeing if there is one somewhere around where you live. Why would you want to buy something to measure body fat? I mean it's something you would seldom use. Just saying...

    None?
    Tanita makes a decent scale, but you need to get one that measures from both feet and hands to get the best read! The one I use is no good for body fat. I just use it to see if the % goes down! (Seems to go up when I lose weight. So unfair!)
