123387 2003-02-23 08:23:00 Hey

Which out of these 2 cameras is better?
I will mainly be using it for taking pics of my R/C, pics of things im selling on trademe, etc, just general pics of stuff.

Any others you can suggest would be great, but it has to be under $200, have an LCD screen, and a flash.

Thanks

123388 2003-02-23 08:57:00 Errr.. sorry, but the URL was done correctly in PF1, only DSE has weird URL's that cant seem to be copied/pasted.

What are the actual cam names/specs?

Just have a look at the addresses, search at the dse.co.nz site for product code/number XG0031 and XG0098.

Sorry, I can't say which one is better, about the same I guess...

123390 2003-02-23 09:29:00 DSE URLs format fine, if you follow the clearly detailed formatting options given at the posting screen.

like this (www.dse.co.nz)

Trick is never do it from the product selected from the search but only from clicking on the actual product you have found.

Looks like one has 8 mB internal memory and can se SD cards for more, the other uses a CF card. Is a CF card included though?

CF cards are the cheapest form of memory.

At this price level quality may suffer. They are so similar you would need to see the result from each to decide.

Both a fixed focus which is going to be a limiting factor on quality.

Both are probably very good value, albeit for mediocre results.

I am surprised you can get ANYTHING good in the way of a digicam today under $200

Don't know. Perhaps if you tell us the specs of the mustek?

> How much is a CF card?

What capacity? 64 MB is about $64

123394 2003-02-24 08:41:00 Sure.

Mustek G smart Mini 2. No flash, no zoom, 2.0 mega pixel (but i think they are lying), size of a credit card...No color LCd screen, yea, i think these are better....

Whats the cheapest CF card? Cause mainly the pics i take will be uploaded pretty much striaght away.

Thanks for all your help so far.

123395 2003-02-24 08:47:00 Okay i found a 8MB CF on DSE for $20. This will do me for now i think.

I think im gonna go with the XG0098 (coolcam) model, as it appears slightly better, plus it is cheaper, and has a bigger LCD screen.

123396 2003-02-24 19:09:00 Well, I am amazed. I never would have thought you could get a camera at that price.

What sort of quality are we really talking about? Can you print proper photos or do they need to fit on a postage stamp?
