Cheap camera, decent pic

No, it can't compete with the $500 cameras, but for $179 at Best Buy, the Samsung Digimax 200 ain't bad...

Hope that works...

hi.
Nice red mushroom! How close is your camera to the mushroom when you take the picture? Seems to do a pretty good job in macro.

If anyone else just sees the red X in a square, try linking directly to it.

Just do a right click on the [X] and do properties and copy the URL to the browser...

The camera was in macro mode with the digital zoom on. I think I was about 5" away from the mushrooms through the glass. Anything more than about 8" won't work with the digital zoom. The camera takes very nice pictures without the zoom as well.

The problems with the picture on the website seem to be related to the host site. I tried to being it up when I was having trouble with it and it was really slow. I'm guessing that RDO has a timeout on it so that if it doesn't come up quickly it just gives you the X. Sorry about that!
