Taken using a Kodak DC3400 2.0 Mega Pixel w/ Optical Zoom on Medium quality setting.

3 things to look for when buying a digi cam.

1. Mega Pixel, the more the better, 3.x is the average now a days.
2. Zoom.. you want OPTICAL ZOOM not DIGITAL. Digital is the same as zooming in w/ MS Paint. Everything gets blocky. Optical zoom actually moves the lens in and out and is 100x sharper then digital zoom.
3. Memory. most cameras come w/ 16mb built in the camera itself. It's not removable and holds about 8-10 highest quality, 10-14 medium quality and 50+ low quality. Most cost efficent upgrade is a 256 mb card that will hold 300+ HIGHEST quality pics.

We bought my dad a new digi cam (one i use is work's cam). It's a HP 3.2 MP, 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom 16mb built in and all the doo dads u need. 200CDN$ + tax.

3 megapixel works fine the only way i would get any higher is if you plan to blow pictures up to a larger size then i would get a 5

I have an Olympus C-3030 zoom that I got for free. Someone at my girlfriend's work dropped it and couldn't get it to work, so they bought a new one. The media door is missing from it which has a sensor to make sure it's shut. I just shoved a piece of a qtip in there to trip the sensor and it works great The case is cracked, but it doesn't affect anything.

The picture quality is pretty damn good for the price. We just went on vacation to Universal Studios/Disney World and used it the whole time (10 days, 300+ pics) with no problems. I'm at work now so I'll post some pics when I get home.

All the pics on this website taken by me are used by an old Sony cybershot 1.3 megapixle @ full resoloution.

Shitty, but works.

better than my camera...

think mine is a 1.0 or 1.3mp the only reason my pics look ok is cuz the camera/software blows them up ------ huge and i have to resize them. cant take pics up close either...

I was gonna buy one this year, but I didn't. The guy at best buy told me that 2.0 and lower won't come out good, but crx88si looks to have a good one. I think he was probably trying to make that commish. Hopefully soon I'll pick one up.

I wasn't gonna buy one from the guy anyway. It was this young mexican guy that was trying to be cool with me by saying "bro" 3 times a sentence. "You know what I mean bro?" I can't stand that ----. I'm just talking to you like a normal white man. Why can't you do the same?
