I have a sony cybershot that I think takes some super nice pics and records video in HD. It's from 3-4 years ago. Not real good with long distance shots and it's a 10 or 12 megapixel camera. I know the 14 MP cameras came out a year after I got mine so better quality is definitely on the market.

Some sample pics are in this thread: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...yrate%27s+pets
