one thing not to get are the xD flash cards - they are very expensive and work only on fuji and olympus. Ive looked through two boxing week's worth of sales to get a cheap xD card, and couldnt find one. I currenly have a fujifilm A210 - 2mp and it works quite well. Higher resolution snaps are not really of any benefit, as at normal monitor resolutions a 2mp image is about the best you can see. The best part is that it also works as a webcam. > The OT part of my post is.... > > Which brand names?
