The only digital cam I've ever owned is a Concord duo.... it came with my LexMark printer for free... (or was that the other way around??)
It works "o.k." But, I have noticed that I get better pics from it now from heeding a few of the tips I have gotten from John here n there

And, an inexperienced photographer can take a lousy shot with a good camera...

I think the equipment is 1/2 of the puzzle, while the experience & knowledge is the other 1/2
