I would have liked an optical lens but heyyy

This looks like a cool toy. And plus 2mega pixels is good enough for everyday pics. And the price... this is really really tempting.

I've got lots of goodies from them


They had this on sale a while back and I snapped one up

I would HIGHLY not recommend it because it has a CMOS sensor. These days, the real cams have a CCD sensor (DSLRs have CMOS, but that's a whole different story), which is wayyyy better than what this one has. But then again it's ok "just for fun".

I like to stick to single function devices until they can make multifunction ones that do just as good a job.

I prefer a device that does one thing really well, and have several of them, than one device that does everything, but only an average job at each.

I'm a sucker for the best too, but practically always
this means lots of $$$$
Unless of course we're talking p to p
