i'm thinking about a 3 - 3.p MegaPixels, no more than that.

and if you have a pic of the digi cam, then please do post it.

thanks

EDIT: also i will need a extra flash card, most likely a 256mb or 1gb.
i need a recommendation of those also.

thanks

EDIT: or a good cheap (in price) 4 - 4.9 MegaPixel digicam. Also with a extra flash card.

Olympus C60

i'd go with Sony myself

SONY DSCP41 CYBERSHOT DIGITAL CAMERA

I'm using CANON IXUS 500. It's not bad if you are using at outdoor, but it's not well if using in indoor. It might could setting sth when you're using in indoor, but i don't know to fix it so it always unclear.

You're only looking at the pixels, that's not the most important option on a digital camera. The zoom is also important, especially the optical as the digital zoom only 'cuts' in your picture. Personally I think Canon isn't bad. I have the Canon Powershot A95.

For the flash card it depends on your camera which one it uses. If it uses CF then Sandisk isn't bad. Also, look at the speed of the cart, there are cards at the speed of 8x, which are the most faster ones for writing.

I got a cheap 4.1 MP camera and it's perfect, pictures are crisp, big, you can zoom in very big, but not to big, but that's not a problem. I wouldn't go for less. You can print your picture on A4 format easily without obviously seeing pixels. When doing bigger you will. The zoom is great to, it works in the viewwindow too. And it wasn't to expensive. I use an 512mb card, which stores on maximum quality 52 pictures, and on VGA quality about 999... I always uwe maximum quality because I never take 52 photo's... unless I'm travelling... then you would have a 1 gig card for sure... but you can buy them everywhere so... I'm sure you won't get disappointed in every way. Digital camera's found their way and they are all very good. Digital mirrorreflex is the new way ahead now. So things are getting cheaper....

Olympus are the most durable and versatile cameras

they are weather proof and come with all the software you need to make good photos

if you have a tv tuner you can plug the camera into it through s-video and use it as a webcam as well

Personally i dont think the Cybershots that great.
Im using A Canon camera.. The model has slipped my mind right now, although its not relevant because its about a year old.
