Here is another view on this about that.
I think for a lot of folks the 640 by 480 pixel is the best resolution to
buy. This is VGA screen size.
If you want pictures for the web this is a good resolution, the pictures
are small enough to send with email and they display the best because they
are screen size. You will not have to reduce each one before you can use
it. They are small, light , and simple to use.
If you want to store the pictures these take only 50 k bytes each and you
can store a bunch of them on a small system or web page.
These cameras use little power verses the mega pixel cameras. Mine says it
will last 150 min. on a charge and it writes a floppy disk at that. I don't
even have to down load the pictures for my retrograde MAC friends, I just
give them a diskette. I have only charged mine about 6 times and I have
owned it 2 years. I have posted a lot of pictures here and love the fact
that I do not have to reduce every picture to send it to a friend.
But you are correct if you want to print big pictures with high quality,
(expensive ink) which I never do. I keep all of mine as video. The problem
is that 1.2 meg pixel is not enough....to get good pictures you need more
and then everything gets expensive, printers, ink storage,batteries,etc.
For something to run out and shoot the screen door, take a picture of the
radiator, or the grand kids jumping on a log, the small resolutions are
hard to beat and take a cardboard camera for those high resolution
photographs.
as Lilly would say--- and thats the truthhhhhhhhh!
