So my son has been wanting a new digital camera.... We went out on the look for a 2.0 megapixel camera for around $100. After several stops, the pick in that price range seemed to be the Fuji A205. Its a nice looking 2.0mpixel camera? Most places were sold out of it, since it goes for around $99 - $115 locally.
We walked in to a shop, and the guy was out of it, and he proceeded to show me a display unit Olympus C50 5.0 megapixel digital camera. Was $449 (locally remember), and he said he could sell me one for $199.00 and was a way better camera than the Fuji?
Not knowing much about Digital camera's myself- We began to bargain, and finally agreed on the price of $149+ tax for the display unit, 32mb xD card, with all the original box, packaging, etc... Was that a good price? Seemed to be, from Pricewatch and Ebay.
Next question, xD cards... They are generic right? Any xD card should work in any digital camera? Because on Ebay I keep seeing "FUJI FILM" and "SANDISK" or "OLYMPUS"... And some will say "OLYMPUS- WORKS IN FUJI" etc... So when I buy the bigger xD card, do I need to get an OLYMPUS "tagged" one? or does it matter?
Last, any opinions on this camera?
Thanks
