Okay, here's the deal. I've narrowed it down to two cheap digital cameras to hold me over until I can afford a nice one. I'm not sure which one to get, because neither one has everything and they've both got some stuff unique to themselves.

Links:
DXGUSA DXG-308 - $75

VuPoint DC-C310-VP - $90

I've only heard of DXG before so anyone who owns or has seen the VuPoint, please contribute. Thanks guys.

Get the $75 one since you're just holding out and you'll save 15 bucks this way.

Anubis - I always manage to spend money on stuff so even when I save 200 or so it eventually goes to waste on stuff. I figure if I do save for a while though I can get about 300 for the nice camera, ask my parents for some of the money as a gift, then buy a nice one and either pawn this one or keep it as a backup.

Mo0o - I was thinking about it that way too, also because it seems to have a better shutter speed (no exact speed is known for the $90 one). Only thing is, the other one is 6 MP

Seems like that one is only 6MP "software enhanced". I'm not sure what that means but just remember you get what you pay for.

Thats why he suggested a camera that will run you ~83 bucks at the end

The number of megapixels matters far less than the quality. I'd rather have 3 million nice pixels than 6 million crappy ones.

I'd suggest that you not waste your money....

Heh... you appear to be correct. However I don't have a Discover card nor does anyone in my family so I wouldn't get that 10%. I think what I may do is just wait several weeks then ask for some cash as a bday present.
