Time for a new digital camera...
2005-05-22, 10:55 AM #1
Well, my old camera finally gave out the other day (it still works, but the screen is broken). So I'm looking for a new one, preferrably not too expensive (< $300 CAD). Optical zoom would be nice, but I don't know if I can get that for the price I want. Also, I'd like at least 3.2 megapixels.

Anyone have any suggestions? And should I bother trying to sell my old one on eBay, or should I just get rid of it?

Sell it, lots of people buy broken things on e-Bay, and it still takes pictures.

Yah, I've been looking through eBay and I think selling it is a good idea. Also, I think I'm going to get a new one from there too. I found a camera the same as mine for $10.

Oh, another thing I would like is for the camera to be compatible with the xD cards that I have already (I don't want to have to buy new flash media). So this narrows it down some.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
