tshih,

I use an Olympus D-100. It is a 1.3 mega piel and is more than adequate for snapshots and web postings. I paid $99 for the unit and added a 265k flashcard that hold ~500 pictures.

Bear in mind that the pictures on a computer monitor are about 90 dpi. Any detail above hat is wasted (and vastly increases the download time) if all you are going to do is post them. Prints are another story. A minimum requirement for a decent print is 300 dpi for casual snapshots and 600+ for really good phots.

If I make 300 dpi prints from my Olympus, they are about 3" x 5".
