    Well, actually he hasn't been spending (and his dad chipped in too).
    We bought a really cheap 2.0 megapixel digicam, Kodak CX6200.
    It cost only about $110, which is kind of cheap. We just bough it to have something to take snap shots with once in a while (for
    example of my modding projects. That means I can stop using the video camera.)
    It is quite small and doesn't weigh much. The picture quality is nice in daylight, but when it comes to night-shots this is not the
    camera for you. You can get quite good inside shots at night when you use the flash, though. Else the pictures become grainy.
    Ok, enough chit-chat, here are some pics (slightly resized and compressed):

    First one of the camera itself (through a mirror)

    One of the funky disco man who lives in my case.
    This was quite ok quality, considering it was so dark.

    Here's one of my desk.

    Apparently close-ups isn't this camera's strongest side. It gets a little blurry, but I was maybe a little too close.
    (Oh, and this is only like my first day of math
    homework, hence the simple subject...)

    Yeah, sorry, I'll give it back to you... :D The screen's nice, but it has quite a large frame around it.

    Crazy curtains it is, then!

    [/me notices this weirdness]

    :jawdrop: i agree with that one; makes mine look like some rather apalling scrawl... maybe we should get a "What's your handwriting look like" thread going and get some psychoanalyst to come and look at all of it, to see if we're serial killers or something...

    Nice camera bard, your cam looks a lot better than mine at close-ups, mine goes insanely blurry and i can't figure out how to turn off the flash (it's a canon S30... instructions welcome... :p)

    ROFL :hehe:

    Canon 0wns Sony... just get a higher canon model. Sony's speciality isn't in cameras and their tech support is complete crap.

    I dropped my canon...


    It survived :D

    Honestly though, one year on and they'll forget your camera even existed.
