For the web this is a perfect size and depending on a camera you'll get good pictures indoors and outdoors, but if you were to print the on a photo paper the quality would me much worst than the real film camera... I have a Sony Digital video camera that can also take 640x480 photos... and the quality is not that great...

Only if you want to be able to print them later... otherwise 640x480 is fine for the web...

I believe you should have 1024x768 at least to get a decent 4" printed photo.

I like posting thumbs people can click for the big picture.

 

I have a Kodak DC4800. This baby is AWESOME and is pretty good for both beginner's and experts. Just go to http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=1465786 to view sample pics. Oh BTW, since I bought my camera, Kodak came out with a $100 rebate. And I asked the store where I bought it from for an "adjusted" receipt so that I can get in on the rebate. Apparently they had a mixup and thought that receipt was for a new order so I got TWO cameras now.

Finally decided on Canon S10, found it for $325...
...if not the best this camera is just like a TL, best value in its class...

Out on parole and on best behavior...

 

I'll be getting my camera from www.bhphotovideo.com with all the accessories:

Camera: S10 - $359.95
Memory Card: 64MB - $89.95
Extra Rechargeable Battery - $39.95
Leather Case - $12.95
----------------------
Total $502.80 + Shipping $9.95...

 

Looks like I'll be getting the Fuji Finepix 1300 as well. I looked around and the only other camera that I compared it to was the Olumpyus 360. They were very similar in price in all of the stores around $250. If I didn't have to use the camera this Saturday I would get it online and save $50 bucks, oh well. Also getting the 64mb card for it as well.

One question though, when you finish up the memory card, can you delete it? or do u have to get a whole new one?

Can you delete files from your computer... or do you need to get a new one?
Of course you delete files from the card once you put it on your hard drive.

 

Well I hope you like your camera grishulia. I kinda wish I had gotten a better camera...don't get me wrong, the FP1300 is a great digicam (check out all the pics I've posted ), its just that theres always going to be something bigger and better! I didn't need to spend more than $300 on a camera though, I'm actually surprised that I only spent $315... I would have had no control if it had been something for the car! Just look at my mods list.

 

Thanks guys. I really love my new Digi cam. It's fun as hell to play with. I'll post some pics after HIN.

Thanks Nate & Grish and all the other guys for your advice.
