I am looking for an inexepensive digital camera which can store alot of photos (up to 100). It can even be 1 megapixel or less, for all I will be doing with it is taking headshots for I.D. photos, and then loading them onto my laptop. Can anyone recommend something for me?

I think for a photo ID as long as it is a close up they'll all look good.

Is $300 about as cheap as they run?

more like a 100.00 Get it at walmart if you don't like it you can upgrade or get your money back. I think as long as it is at least 2 meg and a close up it will be super.

You're right, a one meg camera would work fine for you, but at this point I don't think any one is making less that 3 meg cameras. There's got to be tons of used cameras that would fit your needs. Good luck finding one.

Sometimes you'll find retail stores offering some older models at deep discounts (clearance items) at prices well under $200 in order to get rid of them and replace with the newer models and yet you can still get full warranty.
By the way, I have found that you can also create desktop icons of faces and other items using any quality of jpeg image, reduce the size to 32x32 pixels and save as a .bmp file. MSPaint can do this. Then you can go in and manually change the extension from .bmp to .ico. Some photo editing software can even save directly as an .ico file. Anyway, it works for me and I've had fun with it. :)

Check out Ebay. You'll find some great deals on "older" digital cameras. Just be sure to check out the seller's feedback rating. You want to see many transactions (50+) and 100% positive feedback.
