I realize that this post is way off topic, but I'm sure that if anyone can help me, you guys can.
I'm looking for a digital camera so that I can post pics on the web ( I'd like to show you my INFI family, so far.)
I'm basically computer illiterate, as you can tell from some of my posts,and my computer is an old one(a Dell Pentiumll,450.
The camera has to be as SIMPLE as possible to operate. It also has to be as INEXPENSIVE as possible. I can't be puttin out all these $$$$$ for INFI, and invest in a Good camera also.
Again, the primary use of this camera will be to take pics,and transfer them to the web.
I saw an ad for a VIVITAR, cost $80, which had the following features:
640 x 480 (VGA) Resolution 8 MB Built-in Flash Memory - Stores 64 images (fine quality)
1/3 inch CMOS sensor 2-Way Auto Flash
USB connectivity to your PC Twain Shutter Speeds: 1/1000 to 1 second (automatic)
Automatic Shutter & White Balance Focus-Free lens (35mm equivalent of 52 mm)
Optical viewfinder 10-second Electronic Self Timer
PC Compatible Windows 98/Me/2000/XP 1 Year Warranty
Since most of the specs are greek to me, I don't know if this would be a good choice for me or not.
All input will be greatly appreciated.
