...and y'all are just about the only people i know who might have some informed opinions.
I have a £100 limit (half a birthday present from my parents, half my own money). So i'm not exactly looking for something of professional quality - just something that takes fairly competant pictures. It's main use will be for taking random embaressing pictures of people, then going home and saving them to my PC, ready for some good old blackmail ;)
I havn't looked much further than Amazon, so if anyone knows of a good reliable site, tell me.
Here are my two choices...
Kodak MC3 [0.3MP]
Features:
Multimedia Pocket Player
Colour Preview Screen
Removable Memory Card (16MB)
0.3 MP resolution
This one plays MP3s, as well as being a camera. I would like to have an MP3 player (i'll probably buy one anyway within a year), but the camera is more important. No flash on it though. Is 0.3 MP a really bad thing, by any chance?

0.3 Mega Pixels will give you VERY bad picture quality (compared to other cameras), but you have the advantage of the colour preview screen which is very useful for digital cameras as you can preview what you have taken and maybe delete it.
Do you really want good picture quality? If you do, go for the second one, if you're not bothered, go for the MP3 one.
