Re: Sorta OT: Good Roadgeeking Cameras

Chris Wilson wrote:

Hey all. I was wondering what good, fairly inexpensive (500$ or less)
cameras I could get for roadgeeking. I currently have 2 digital camera
I got at ~$100 each, but they are both rather subpar and are only good
for still photos. Here are a few things that might come in handy:

- 4.1 Megapixel
- Flash
- No Delay
- Minimum Noise

I know it might be asking a lot, but i'm not asking you to do a search;
maybe a reccomendation. Thanks much.

(BTW, Steve, those pictures I took for your website were still, if you
couldn't already tell, and were took with a disposable camera. Sorry!)

I use a Fujifilm Finepix A345, and except for a slight delay, it fits all of your requirements and cost me under $200.
