I have the Mitubishi DX-10, I think. It is horrible as a camera, but
works quite well
as a way to get images into the computer for Web sites, eBay auctions,
etc. Really,
the only major problem is that the 'peephole' viewfinder, for some
reason, is very hard to get
repeatable positioning with, so many of the shots have the 'heads cut
off' sort of
problem. But, it was quite cheap, about $80 on eBay a year ago. I
think it is a
320 x 240 pixel imager. The other problem seems to be that it can't
handle
flickering lights - if fluorescent light is used, the pictures come out
with bad exposure
and color balance. If you also want the same camera to handle family
photos, etc.
then you will definitely need to get something better.
