Staples and Office Max are selling HP digitals with a 3 mb chip for $89. Snap the picture, use PS to tweak it, and send it to eBay. After you get done with the project, give the camera to some deserving kid. Or keep it in you car for quick grab shots. Some of my nicest pictures are opportunistic shots taken with my 7 year old Leica Digilux Zoom with its massive 1.3 meg chip. (State of the art in 1999.) Larry Z
