The Barbie camera seems like junk to me, a waste of money really, what is a good camera, is the smile camera good? Please let me know http://www.gotapex.com/ubb/smile.gif

I can't imagine a worse camera than Agfa ePhoto Smile. How bad is it?
Well, you won't be able to use its red-eye reduction feature, simply because you will not be able to distinguish the eyes from the rest of the blurry blob.
DO NOT BUY ANY OF THE CHEAPO DIGITAL CAMERAS.

hey thanx for the tip Pesti Mist I almost bought that one. I really want a zip drive but there isn't much in the price range that I am willing to pay even with a 25 off 100 coupon. I'll just have to wait I know earthlink is selling a camera for members, but I rather have a zip drive..... maybe I can get both somehow.

The kodaks are great (I'm on a DC240). The Nikon is probably one of the best (the 950 rocks, the 800 less so), the Canon S10 is good too (small, and works well).

Not sure if that helps. They are still reasonably costly. The 950 has a $100 mail in rebate.

can someone enlighten me as to what this zip deal is?? is it a free zip drive? internal? external? 100MB? 250MB? is it at brick-and-mortar staples? on staples online? did i miss a deal somewhere??

ok, i found the deal on staples.com under weekly specials. not a bad deal at all, but i don't want a POS digital camera, and i can't afford a good one right now. and since i am considering getting rid of my zip drive anyway, i'll pass.
