Shoping for a digicam...

HP Photosmart M415

3x optical zoom

5.2 mp

16mb card

That's just one I was looking at. I am clueless as I have never purchased one and due to lack of funds I haven't seriously considered one before. When I last considered one just one megapixel was considered good to have. I am not looking for the hugest pix, but for a 1024x768 I expect it to be as clear as a 35 mm photograph. My next concern is memory card size. I do not want to take 15 pictures and it be full. Will 16 megabytes be enough? Ideally I would like to get 50 pictures or more. The more the better. I assume 3x optical zoom should be sufficient.

I am in no way set on this or any other camera. I figured I would pick one as a baseline and go from there. The answer to your question is that there is a budget of $150. Also any suggestions as far as where to buy it as far as product support is concerned? Should something go wrong I want to be able to get the thing fixed/replaced asap during the warranty period. Finally would an extended warranty be worht it?

Thanks!

hmm my sister's sd card is 128mb it holds plenty, that 16mb card should hold a decent amount, id wait and see hen if not get like a 32mb card. most of the time your not gonna be filling it up anyways, i usually take like 10 pix or so then put them on my computer.

i'm new to this digital camera thing as well but i got a cannon powershot A410 and it was under $150 brand new. it is 3.2 megapixel but takes a pic up to 8" by 11" perfectly. i have a 64 MB card and i can store like 50-60 pics.
