Default Recommendation(fast)

Ok, really want to get a digital camera, and i have until thursday. Im sick of using my phone and spending so much time trying to make them look decent. I am really poor, and i know you cant get much for what i am willing to pay, so i recommending anything more that about 60 bucks is pointless. I was looking at something like this from w/m. A 3.1 will take decent pics, right. My 1.3 on camera-phone takes pretty good ones when there is a lot of light, so i figure this will do OK??ehh??
Also, about how many pics can a 8 card MB hold.

another
Similar, but has a 16mb card. wouldnt use tripod much.

i think not

is 2.1 much better that 1.3?

guess this will be the cheapest 3.1

I think the first is the best deal, then the second, then last. Let me know if yall think this would be crap or a decent camera, not for major photography, mostly for family get together and random.

Thanks a lot for any help...

Sorry to hear your poor. I know the feeling, As you can guess Non are great but I would go with the 3.1 plus you could update the firmware to get better images. Good luck!

the ammount of M-pixels doesnt say that much.. its only means that you can make small parts of the pic a lot bigger without losing quality soon.

1.3 M-pixels is decent actually... but the lenses and zoom functions of phones are usually really crappy.

if you want tood quality photo's.. i would suggest going for a good 2M-pixel camera or so. (or at least, try to find one )

Oh I know that but seeing as none of them are great I was just saying to go with the higher MP one.

If you can go for about $100, here's a much better camera than the ones you listed (free next day shipping, too)
