>>What kind of resolution are you looking for? Good enough to share on email/websites, enough for printing on normal sizes, or enough to match 35mm film?
Hmm... well I guess as close as possible to matching 35mm film at that price. I definitely plan to share some websites. And I might want to print them at the normal 3x5 size.
>Don't touch digital zoom with a 10 foot clown pole. Rather, ignore its presence on any features list. Optical zoom is the only one that matters.
Thanks for the tip. Reseached your comment a bit, and I see what you mean. Heh, unfortunately most of the digital cameras with good optical zoom are expensive.
>Also keep in mind you'll need to buy a memory card if one doesn't come with the camera. The internal memory is usually only good for a handful of shots.
Yep, I've heard the same. The one I was considering came with a free 256 card.
>If you're going for something extremely cheap, easy, and no-frills, I saw a $15 keychain digital camera at Walley World, among other places.
Thanks for the link, but... that probably wouldn't be as clear/big of a picture as I want.
