yeah what kind of pictures are you going to take....if it's just for party pics, going out, all that stuff then just get a compact camera between 3.0 and 5.0 megapixels.

i just wanna take pictures of simple everyday life, nothing professional. mostly of friends, parties, scenery.. etc, but i want the picture quality to come out really good.
i had a fuji, canon, and kodak and i have had really good experience with canon so far so i was thinking about this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16830120044
its pretty cheap @ this website. biggrin.gif

AH Newegg. Yes that site is known for cheap products. That camera will do. For good picture quality, you need a flash. If you don't have flash, you need a tripod to stop your hand from shaking.

If for just everyday stuff, you can settle for much less.

thanks for the info! that camera looks pretty cool plus it plays music! biggthumpup.gif
does samsung have a good warranty policy?
with canon they gave me my money back without any trouble after 2 years. there was nothing wrong with the camera, i just wanted to buy a newer one.

^ shrug.gif about policy but the only real downside is that if ur not usin the camera for random piks with friends then its not that great... also the headphones u gotta use are 2.5mm and not 3.5mm i suggest u check em out a store... if u were willin to spend the money id say get a compact leica... i got the with a Cannon IXUS 750/Canon Powershot SD550 was a gift, the pictures r pretty good if ur willin to spend the extra $60...

found ur camera for $4 cheeper... icon_wink.gif

btw with canon, there's an upgrade policy. you can upgrade your old camera for a refurbished camera in the same category. Contact Canon to find out more about it.
