Well, I've got money now.

So I want to pick up a couple of things... A scanner, and a digital cammera.

I had both, but the scanner was terrible, the images took ages to scan and the quality was not webworthy, at the very least, whilst the cam took 5 minutes to eat up my batteries. Not very happy.

But yeah. Budget of about £120-170. £180 max. But I'm thinking I should be spending £120 of it on the cam and £50 on a decent scanner.

Also, printers. I recently read an article on somewhere about them buying a print-quality (I mean posters, proper ones, A3 etc.) printer. Just wondering how much I'd have to shell out. Quite a lot, right?

Yeah, 4mb should be fine then.

As for selling it, obviously first answer is "ebay! ebay!111"
I'm sure though that some High Street stores may trade them in, like I said, take a look in Jessops, I get all my photography supplies there.

4 mp would do, depends what you want it for. I'd say it would be fine though.

Hmmm... Is 4 mega-pixel enough?

Just been reading some articles in GigaHz, seems BenQ has some good quality, cheaper options.

My old one was a Kodak Share-whatever. Software was sh*te, quality was sh*te.

Anyone know where I could sell it?

Plus where is it best to look for a cam? Online?

Ah, you can get more than double the capacity of those. Although thats all that came as standard with my cam.

I just want something to take hi-res (web design and that, as well as building a portfolio - going travelling, need to create!) and still. Nothing more, nothing less.

All digital cameras eat up standard AA/AAA alkaline batteries in no time.

You need to get some high capacity rechargeable NiMh batteries when you get yours. Like these [URL]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14951&item=5551780003&rd=1[/URL] Unless it has a decent built in rechargeable one of course...
