Camera Questions

[Toby's my baby]

No, i am not doing professional photography, just of my pets, and trips we take every year. I like to try and take cool pictures of things, but my 3.2 mp camera has me limited, its a piece of crap IMO. I just saw it, and I thought it wouldnt be bad, to have a 12 mp cam. especially if it was so cheap. There are a lot more bids on it now, yesterday it was only $1, but now you can see more people are bidding on it. . it ends today, so all opinions are needed soon!! Here's the link:

STAY AWAY from this one!!

There's a big discussion on "SVP Digital" on http://www.cnet.com
look at http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-7593-0....ssageID=574608

NO ONE speaks very kindly about "SVP Digital" cameras!!

Problems mentioned:
* Manual doesn't match the camera
* Battery problems
* POOR Tech support
* and Broken Cameras

Stick to a NAME BRAND camera!

"Deals" can be found at mass marketers like WalMart, Best Buy, the
office suppliers (Office Max, Staples, etc) -
watch for their reduced prices on the "Last Year's Model" of popular cameras.

Thank you SO much, I was almost going to bid on it! I am definently going to stick with some I know. I guess I'll just have to save up my money and get one that I really want. . .aka. a Canon Rebel looks like i'll be saving for a while, but thats ok, at least i'll know what i'm getting! THank you so much!
