i'm goin to Malaysia,Kuala Lumpur where their be a sh!tload of local brands..

i've seen 2 online they are Benq DC1300 and the "V-Ranger 4130"

all i know is d Benq comes with a CMOS sensor whereas the V thingy comes with CCD..

You might as well just setup an eBay store, RossMAN!

my sentiments exactly

Charged coupled device in my opinion. In any rate, what you spend is what you get. If on a tight buget, I would demo some cameras and get the one I liked best. Also, before I made any decision, I would go online and check the reviews on the camera. I use Epinions.com before I buy anything.

I bought a Cintar Argus 2.1 MP DC3515 cameras at Office Depot for $80 when they were on sale and like it.
One of E-bay
Doesn't have a bunch of fancy features but it has all the important ones. The pictures aren't perfect but its more than good enough for posting crap on the web which is what I bought it for. I haven't bothered to play with it much but it does work as a webcam.
Pics I took at a junkyard with it so you can see how it works. I took those at 800x600 fine and shrunk them down to 640x480 for web posting.

why would you like a digicam within your DOLLAR price range if you're not gonna buy it here? Ross man offered you a nice deal but you turned it down and say, "you stay in India"! Do you know how studpid you sound? Why not buy a digicam where you are?

ARE YOU ON CRACK?

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

That explains the shoestring budget.

 

[stingrae]

btw,i'm not on crack..i wish!

all i wanna know is ,is CCD better or CMOS?

Peace
