| 205648 | 2004-02-04 10:14:00 | Hello! Id just like to mention- my dolphin 2MP camera does fine,for PC pics. Enough pixels,works up to ~60cm distance..has flash. in bright sunlite u cant see the screen,so get one with a viewfinder(20$ more lol) i just wanted something that wud work.and it does! can take up to 512mb DSE memory...comes with 16mb. it burns through AAA rechargables in 1 setting,jsut enuf to take pics,review them and get em onto pc :P shud look if theres any higher quality rechargables around. ofcourse it wont print out magic photo pics like actual photo quality but my printer cant do that anyway,so im not worried! Mainly just for burning onto CD,etc..most the time i resize them to 800x600 for my website.. I conclude its 'satisfactory' Cheers! |

| 205650 | 2004-02-05 01:09:00 | I've been using the same Mustec camera for about 4 years now I guess. (Yeah...about half a megapixel...but it's OK for my web page photos) My observations... >Yep...optical zoom much better than digital >If inside photos are you're thing...make sure the flash is up to it...or you'll need to only take photos when there's lot's of natural light. >Get rechargeable batteries and a charger. You get much more battery life and save money in the long run. >Optical viewfinder does seem much better to use (and takes less battery power) than using an LCD as the viewfinder. Something to be aware of. I was in a camera shop the other day looking at two cameras...the same basic model but different megapixel rating. The salesperson explained that the 'processor' bit (CDI?) was the same in both models but the higher one was, I suppose you'd say 'overclocked' so it could squeeze more info into an image. The guy said that this stuffing of data in can cause flaws in the image...so more megapixels in the same basic camera won't necessarily give you a better image. |

| 205651 | 2004-02-05 01:40:00 | Maybe he was referiing to interpolation(spelling?)where the camera just adds data by reading the color of the pixels and having a punt. Some scanners do it as well,they are advertised like 2804x 2000 maximum scanning resolution(only with provided softeware)...when the true scanning resolution is only half that. A pure scam |

| 205652 | 2004-02-05 01:45:00 | Interpolation Method used in software to augment the resolution of an image map. The software adds pixels to an image based on the value of surrounding pixels, thereby increasing its resolution. This method can cause artefacting. and heres a nice little site all about it http://megamyth.homestead.com/ |

| 205653 | 2004-02-05 01:48:00 | That's not as bad as a "New product announcement" for a camera with "more than 1 megapixel", in Electronics Australia a few years ago. It had 300+k pixels , but they multiplied that by three (because red/blue/green). :_| |
