Cam Q

I'm doing some shopping around for a new camera, preferably a good one. I came across an amazing deal. I located a three month old PC World magazine with some top products. It had some awsome new stuff that was above and beyond. I located their top choice for digi cam and here were the stats.

1.3 megepixels.
120 seconds of video stored
Pen cam
Sliding top for webcam

It was marked at 100$ in the mag, and I figured Ebay would find it for 30, turns out the rpice dropped to half anyway, so it's 50$.

Is 1.3 megapixels good, and does anyone have an example? Does this seem like a good deal or could I do better? Any advice?

Here is a pic, it is by sharper image...

1.3 mega pixles is pretty good thats what my camera is
the what else does it have
digital zoom or optical
how many times does it zoom to?
it looks fairly cheap with not much zoom capibility wich is what you really want

Ok this is an area I can help in I may not know alot about snakes but cameras yes....lol....we have a pen cam almost like that same type of figures and IT SUCKS 30 bucks I do believe and cannot remeber were my advice keep looking.....Terrible pics unless you are out doors

This is said to work excellent outdoors, I only considered it cause I saw it in pc world.

Agreed. Pen cams are worthless unless you guess the focus just right and are outdoors during a sunny day. If you plan on taking pics inside and in low light, you'll get a nice black blur for a picture. Go with a cam that you can actually see the zoom/focus and has a flash.
