I bought a concord 3.1 mega pixel Q3042 AF at walmart for 85 dollars. And a 64 meg memory stick for it for about 25 dollars on sale. <br /> <br />I am capable of macro shots at about 9 inches or regular lens shooting at 2 feet and beyond. <br /> <br />I use rayovac double A rechargeable batteries with it's own charger. My Windows XP pro treats the camera as a "Lexar" drive which you can access using the supplied firewire cord. You can transfer the images onto your computer as JPEG files and from there upload them to the web, email to others or print them as well as burn onto CD. <br /> <br />There are photo developers that advertise pictures from digital cameras on CD or prints if you supply the images with the memory stick. I think I dont need to worry about that. I can do everything except create prints here at home. <br /> <br />The money savings with the rechargeable batteries and no film use has more than paid for the camera. <br /> <br />I am capable of taking about 316 pictures or 313 seconds of video. There is no sound on the video. <br /> <br />Some of my shots are not the best, I am at the moment working to assemble a site on the web for them. <br /> <br />Final word is that this camera serves me well however there are "better" cameras out there that will do zoom and other features. So I consider the camera I have a "Entry Level" one. <br /> <br />Edited to comment about cd's that come with these cameras. Most of the stuff on CD is not needed. What you need is the actual driver file that helps your computer understand the camera and transfer pictures etc. In my case I dont use a driver since my XP Pro treats the camera as a "drive" when I have it connected. <br />Lee
