Im a poor little college boy and i want to buy a digital camera so i can hopefully put some videos of me on this website and grab some advice. I would like decent pictures, with a decent size card, and im sure all dig cams can take video and stills but i would like that too. Only want to spend about 200 - 300 dollars.
I would really rather spend like 200 max but Im guesing if i want a decent camera i dont have a choice. Im not afraid of ebay. Any suggestions on cameras would be nice.

I have the C-740. I got it on Ebay as a refurbished model for $230. I am a total photography idiot still, but I really like it.

I look at www.cnet.com they often review cams and the like. That's where I looked when I thought about buying, which I am still thinking about but just don't have the gusto to drop that kind of cash.

My advice would be to get over your ebay fears.

Hey re re.. I said im NOT afraid of ebay, thanks for the advice on the C-740.. does it have a manual focus so you can snap pictures quickly without the automatic feature thinking forever.
Also did yours come with a memory card?
