Digital cameras 101

[mike solan]

Hello peoples. i just registered a new domain, so i need to get a digital camera to post pics on the site. i want a camera that does at least 3.1 megapixels for everyday use, but with an option for lower quality so the size can be small enough to go on websites. it needs to be a day and night camera, and i dont have too much to spend, so i wann keep it hopefully under $250, no more than 320. any suggestions of best brand/model/price/store to find it at?

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the Question & Answer Board!  

We'll be happy to share some ideas but, first, can you tell us a bit more about the types of photos you'll be taking, particularly regarding subject matter (eg. close-ups, portraits, scenes, action shots, etc). It would  help us know what types of features to suggest. Almost all digital cameras give you the option to shot at various megapixel sizes below the maximum.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.
