After seeing the quality of pics i got from my buddies camera (1) compared to the ones i took with my schools camera (2) i decided i want to buy a good one that the pics are good and clear like in 2 what am i looking for as for mega pixels and all that crap and preferably under 100 anyy one please post pics of the cam u used if u suggest it and yes this is appearance related cause you cant see how it looks with the pics i got

 

#1 eewww

 

well its all in the # of megapixels you want. I wouldnt settle for anything less than 2.0 megapixels, IMO. If you look around you might be able to find one for $150 or so. If you want the best quality, step up to a 6.0 megapixel, but get out your checkbook, they run closer to $1500.

So IMHO, go with like an HP, KODAK (usually pretty cheap), or SONY.

 

2 ahhh much better

 

ok corect me if i am wrong but i thougt megapixils were related on the screen size display of the back of the camera and Resolution was the quality of the digital pic?

 

The resolution is the amount of detail that the camera can capture. The megapixels are the amount of pixels that make up the detail of the picture. So the more pixels it has, the more detail it can capture.

For example, if you have a 1200 x 1600 resolution, then you take 1200 * 1600 to get 1,920,000 pixels, also known as 1.92 megapixels.

Better understood?

 

This is what i use

It is a canon G2. Pretty nice camera, but the stock lens sucks b@lls at night. It is better than most so it costs more than most. You can find 2.0-3.0 mega pixles for under $200 usually. Check out every online store you can find and also check out best buy and circuit city, they have really good prices on open box items. And they still have the same waranty.

I have a Canon Powershot A40, which is 2.0 Megapixels. 2.0 MP equals 1600X1200. I upgraded to a 256MB flash card which gives me around 300 pictures at that resolution. I took a photography class in high school, which helps tremendously when taking pics.

 

I use a Kodak DC-260 camera, which is a 1.6MP camera. Decent camera but a lot of the new ones are much better.
Olympus has cameras that take awesome pictures, not sure of the cost though.
The best digital camera I have used is the Canon D60 6MP camera. $3,000 with 2 lens.
Here is a pic that I sized down since each image is like 3Kx2K and are 2megs to 4.7megs each,

Olympus D-490 2.1 Megapixel. I love it! This model has been replaced though but Olympus usually rates high in picture quality.
Here are 2 samples form it

 

I have a Sony Cybershot 2 MP that I picked up for $200 at Best Buy a few months back. Other than the lack of optical zoom, I'm extremely happy with this camera.

Sample:

 

You can get disposible cameras that look better then those irocbirdbuilder.

Then you can have them put onto a disk, or you can just buy a digital camera, but by all means, get a different camera

 

thanks for the input honestly lessk i could have probaly drawn something better than that he claims he paid like 400 bucks for it but when i saw the pics i offered him 10 bucks for it he didnt bite
anyways im pretty sure i could go in the running for worst possible pics on the net heres another of the crappy ones this one is the reason i dint buy the camera i went into circi=uit city intending to buy a cam back in summer but came out with a 500watt amp and 2 12"s
