You get what you you can afford. My limit was $300, and I got an Olympus

Lugnet does not allow posting of photos here.
I will remove it soon.
PS: Excellent model!

| All- Well, I went out and found a camera that was under $200. It's only 850K pixels, but it seems to work all right, and what's more it's in colour and it's no worse than my horrible film photography. At least this way I don't waste film or time. (...)
