I found a new toy at the junk-shop....cost me 18 bucks..I don't know much about the camera, it didn't come with instructions, going to play with it today with my grandchildren : ))
3.5 megs is better than having 10 or 12 megs which the small sensors on compact digi cameras can't cope with properly! You really need a 35mm sensor to go above 5megs.
Give it a try - at that price, you have nothing to lose! Good luck with it.
