Well, I thought I was all settled on a Mavica, then I stopped in Service Merchandise today.

I use the original Kodak DC-200 (not even a plus).

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. (...)
