I have an Olympus C-120, its the cheap variant, fix focus only digital zoom and 2.0Mpixel. I got it to replace my even cheaper normal camera, It works quite nicely. I dislike the fix-focus, the quality is as expected in the "quite cheap" pricerange. I'd recommend you get a camera with optical zoom and controllable focus if you want to get better shots at it, thats the things I miss most from mine. if you get a "cheaper" CCD you also want to control the ISO levels and shuttertimes, or your pictures in gloom will come out horridly colourdistorted in blotches due to low shuttertime and high ISO values ( even if you used a tripod or other stable means).. Configs are simple, I've got example code + instructions on my homepage just to ease it up. (did it once I got mine to work) overall I've liked the canon cameras I've used, and as long as you know what you get and what you want to use it for, even the cheap ones are good. :) //Spider -- begin .signature This is a .signature virus!
