I got one of these little digital cameras. It was only $20 so I decided to get it. It's actually better then you might think, sure the image quality is shit (actually it depends), and it takes "videos" (bunch of pictures shot in succession put into a AVI file), but it's a pretty good handy little thing. If you see one (and don't have a better digital camera) you should get it.

Also, it's my first digital camera. Yes, I have no picture of me or anything I own on the internet. Maybe that'll soon change, but first I'd need someone to teach me how to get rid of motion blur in photoshop.. (motion blur feature does not work, it makes things worse).

But this thread is not about photoshop (although if you can help, pm me), it's about technology getting smaller and cheaper!

This thing is this big:
Camera measures: 1.5 x 2.25 x 0.5 inches (H x W x D)
it can take 30 pictures, roughly a minute of video, and cost me $20!!(brand new, not used) It has more features then you'd think, too, like different sunlight settings and all that kind of crap.

Hell yes! Finally a digital camera! I've finally embraced the new camera technology! My old one was a film camera from the 90's.. Bought it new and still works perfectly, although I'll probably use this one more..



Here is the best pic I've taken so far (I've only taken about 15 pictures, and 3, 10 second videos). I'll be screwing around with it more tomorrow.

EDIT: Here is one SIMILAR, mine is not the same looking (mine looks lower quality, but it isn't. mine is completely gray, but has the same 2 buttons, otherwise..), they are the same quality cameras, though, mine just looks crappier.

BTW, that one says 100 seconds of video, but it won't store that, mine says it'll store 3 minutes, and only stores a minute or so..
 
I have that one you posted in your edit. It was pretty sweet until I lost it. It was nice for taking pictures of things you werent supposed to take pictures of :).
