LOL, I think I have you all beat. I bought my wife ab Argus so she could take some pictures of some candles and put them on the web. She said what the heck is this?!! It aint no good for nothing. Tha was 2 years ago and the camera has been sitting on her dresser ever since. Well I decided to try it out this fall and it works just fine. No I wont be making any 8x10 blow ups from it. But Hey I just want to post some pics of FB2 and myself when we're out fishing. And it has filled that bill just fine. (now that I know how to to do this)
I will say that I am currently looking for a higher quality camera in the 3 to 4 pixel range. But you can bet it wont be going on the water. This argus cost about 60 bucks 2 years ago and I bet you can get it today for under 20. It doesn't have all the whisles and bells, not even a flash. But it takes ok pics in the daylight, overcast or bright sun. The best part when I do get it wet (and yes I have) I don't worry if it's been ruined. So I get to still have fun fishing and take some pictures when I want and the worst that can happen is I might loose the pictures I took and a cheapo 20 dollar camera.
So for me I would go cheap with the first one. If you like it and how it works, then move up to a better camera. The digitals do have their limitations, but are a blast to play with.
