title about covers it.
I would love to buy my first digital camera.. (so I can take car pictures) Is there anything out there that would be decent in the 200 range? (I'll have to justify it with the wife, that we can use it for trips and non car pictures too) what should I look for? -#'s of pixels? -powers of multiplication? thanks for humoring a computer and camera newbie. brant |

Get atleast a 128 memory card with it and I agree that the lithium battery packksare better vs the AA ones. Bought along another digital camera on the trip that used AA batteries for the kids to use and those are a pain in the ass.
optical zoom atleast 3x as the Digital zoom is a joke unless you want all your pics to look like Andy took em. Geoff |
