Another camera question

[Gene]

Evening boys & girls,

http://www.megapix.co.uk/acatalog/DC-12R_SVP_DigitalZoomCamera.html
Is this a decent camera for model pix? Picked it up cheap off of evilbay, $20.00 including s&h. Have no clue how to use it, no manual.
So how about a little help for a brother?? :laugh:
TIA!!!

can't help you with settings details gene but that camera seems to be sufficient!

it has the most important makro feature and enough megapixels for decent photos!

At $20.00 I don't see how you could be wrong. Take some snaps and see how it turns out. play with the macro and flash and see which settings look better. I have read that if you take a picture without the macro mode and at a decent distance you can edit the image and get just as good results as you would zooming in or being in close.

For an image editor, I suggest www.irfanview.com for basic image resizing, cropping and compression. If you want to get more advanced editor look at the www.gimp.org, both of these are free. Gimp is a open source version of photoshop. http://www.gimpchat.com/ is a great online forum for support, tell'em I sent ya, they may let you in anyway.

GENE,

ONE of the Most Important things to have is a Good Tripod for th Camera. That will improve your Photography a lot !! You don't need an expensive one. I picked one up for $20 USD. !
