[quote="Sgt. Duffy":2bd4b] 1 megapixel is enough if your not serious about it,[/quote:2bd4b]Uh no, I think my ass would take better quality pictures than that. Don't ever go for a 1 megapixel camera...that's a waste of money.


For you guys that know what you're talking about: I'm leaving the US in may for a trip and I wanted to have a camera for the experience. Would the sales after Christmas be a better deal than if I waited 3 or so months?

Just a rough question but how many images can be saved onto a 64mb memory card, or even a 256mb card?


My sister is in Japan right now so hopefully I'll get her to buy one there for me, will be alot cheaper freak:

On a 256mb Card I have gotten a ton of pictures onto it, around 250 perhaps? I have never taken the time to count.

plus a few more.


Is there a certain brand I should be looking for?

go to cnet.com and sort the cameras according to viewers ratings.

I just got one of [url=http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=30-150-023&depa=7:9a81e]these[/url:9a81e] for Christmas and I like it so far.
My only complaint is that it comes with only a 16mb memory stick for storage. oOo:

Edit: Last time I checked they're about $30 cheaper if you buy it from circuitcity.com.

As Kodak's bitch I'm going to have to recommend my baby, the DX7440:

I get to use it all the time and when I leave Kodak I'm going to steal it.

my parents got me this for x-mas but i think they got it on sale at staples or circuit city the day after thanksgiving for alot cheaper....its a great camera, they bought me a 128 mb memory stick for it though and its been great so far.

Miyagi, here's a good camera fitting your situation. I'd say you would only need a 256mb card, but 512 helps (alot). I bought two 512's since my camera takes pretty large pics.
