Cheap Good Used Camera.

Samsung Digimax S73 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

New is good enough, but they now sell a few used ones, if they are not damaged then they should still be good.

It is of course no-state-of-the-art camera, but should be more than good enough, it does have 2 things that might not be so great:

1st: It eats batteries up big time, so you might need either high capacity batteries and or rechargeable batteries.

2nd: Same as most small digital cameras it can't be connected to an external flash, so most of these cameras need good enough light if you want to shoot things that are far away.

------------

Also, it comes with some zoom, both optical (3X) and digital (5X) = 15 total zoom, so it doesn't have a super zoom, optical zoom is always the best zoom to use and not so much digital for better quality pictures.

The image sensor is good enough, but of course not the very best:

1/2.5" 7.4 Megapixel CCD

------

It gives a JPEG picture image same as with most digital cameras and that of course sucks!

Image File Formats

JPEG (Super Fine, Fine, Normal)

--------

But it is good enough:
