Hiya,

I couldn't help overhearing your discussion about digicam's....

well the kodak dc20 is not the most advanced camera and the cheapest in his
line.....
It's not a camera for high quality still pictures and you easily get shifts
in colours with it...

If you wanna buy a digital camera and prize is no factor in your choice
take camera's like

canon powershot
olympus C-1000L
agfa ePhoto 1280

regards,
Martijn Echten
