HP Photosmart E317

This is another free gift from Circuit City when we bought certain items two three years ago. My husband is the main user of this camera, he uses this for work. This is much better than my old PowerShotA20 2.1 megapixels. The E317 is 5.0 megapixels, it can take videos (320 x 240) pixel count at 24 frames per second. It came with 16 MB internal flash memory. And it support memory cards up to 1GB. Right now we are using 256 MB Impact memory card.

Very light camera.

Concord Eye-Q 2040

We have a few digital cameras at home and we bought this for our 5 years old son at that time. It records video but no sound and we also added memory card for extra storage somehow it doesn't work. We can't use the memory card that we added because the camera can not recognize it. This is very cheap and it came with a case and USB cord. I read a lot of comment saying other camera with the same price is much better than this one. Next time we buy something for our kids we have to read review about it first. I can say this, this camera is worth the price. We got it cheap and the quality is cheap, good for a 5 years old now 8 to use for taking picture. I just hate emptying the on board memory card every two minute or so.
