Well, I thought I was all settled on a Mavica, then I stopped in Service Merchandise today. They actually had cameras in stock, and in addition to the Mavica had an Olympus D-450ZOOM 1280x960 w/3x optical zoom. So far, looks like a nice camera. (...)

I use the original Kodak DC-200 (not even a plus). Several tricks I have found: I keep a little piece of wax paper taped over the flash (it helps difuse it a bit) I always take the box shots at highest-res, then set my html to display them at 50% (...)

(...) The only thing I don't like about the mavica is if you aren't under florescent or halogen lights (which btw turn blonde hair green in photos) you aren't going to get that great of a shot indoors even with the flash, it's too hot.

(...) You get what you you can afford. My limit was $300, and I got an Olympus D340R. I wish I have ZOOM, and I wish it can take better pictures without flash, but I'm happy with my purchase. There are better cameras, but they cost more. I think you (...) (25 years ago, 5-Dec-99, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.publish)

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. (...)
