I can adjust the resolution on this. But frankly, I don't take
enough photos to warrant it.

Frankly, I'm pretty
much getting tired of photography in general. I go through phases.
I'll take photos for a few years, then stop.

I used to take lots of 35mm photos. I have two excellent 35mm
cameras. The problem with those is you have to remember to drop
the film off and pick it up LOL

Also pay for processing and a CD if you want to share photos.

Processing costs are neglible. But then, I don't need 1 hour
photos. And I've never had one burned to a CD. There's no point.
I can scan digital photos at home and of course if I have film
processed I can use my scanner to do the same thing.

If you go to a one hour photo place (think Robin Williams, 'One Hour
Photo') like that, you can expect inferior film processing at a
premium price. I've still got a couple of 35mm rolls of film never
developed from at least 10 years ago. It would be amusing to find
out what's on them. :) But since they've been sitting here for 10
years obviously they weren't important.

Ok, Jillsie...let's take it reeeeallll slow...

I KNOW your camera. I KNOW it doesn't take a battery you can get at a
drugstore. I mentioned that, not once, but twice up above.

NOW...what you have is a 2 megapixel camera. That is its maximum
resolution. That is not adjustable. You can adjust the focus, and at
that, only incrementally, and also adjust the focal range, but you
are stuck with the 2 megapixel resolution. It doesn't get any higher.

Boron

Sorry, it's adjustable from 2 to 4. Maybe you haven't seen the latest
model. I won't buy another one simply because I don't take photos all that
often. I'll go back to using my Nikon 35mm and taking film to be processed.
Okay with you?
