So I wanted to post a picture in Don Sexy's Hawtness Revival thread, but I don't own a digital camera.  Whenever I need to take some shots, I usually borrow my co-worker's camera.   Well, the camera is dead at the moment and I didn't want to shell out three Bennies for one of my own - I just don't have a need for one.

So this morning I go to my local Target department store and purchased their most inexpensive camera for $14.99.  It came out to $16.00 with taxes.  It's a Phillips brand camera which can take photos at like 400 x 680 or something and can be used as a webcam as well.  It's the size of a pack of sticky notes. It holds like 20 pics or more using the lower resolution setting.  No flash that I remember.

Since I don't want to buy a good camera, and I don't need one really, I'm happy knowing that I have something to use.  I haven't opened the packaging yet.  My question is should I take it back?

From what i have expereanced from cheap digi cameras  is that the pics i think you will get off of that will be small as hell and not very good. Right now i have this one that was $30 with no flash peace of shit but with anough light you can get a good picture. I would recomend putting a little more into it and getting somthing a little better but thats just me

Yeah, you're right.  I took the cheap camera back to the store.  I went to Fry's and got their lowest-end camera that had an LCD screen.  $69.  It's 5.1 megapix. I think I will be much happier with it. Thanks.
