Re: [RC] Compact Digital Camera for the Trail? - Diane Trefethen

Another possibility is using a camera phone. These generally produce lower quality pictures (even those touted as "mega pixel") but they are built to "take a lickin' and keep on pict'in" (sorry Timex [bg]). If you opt for a camera phone, thus killing the proverbial two birds, you can buy special optical-encoding software to improve the picture quality after the fact. Here is a link that discusses the issues:

Mind you, all I know about these new-fangled cellular products is what I read. MY cell phone weighs in at about 10 oz, is an inch thick, was discontinued about 4 years ago and is so primitive its only special feature is that it has two ring tones.

I asked my husband for a compact (saddle bag size) digistal camera for Christmas. He did his consumer reports type search and said he couldn't find any good ones for around $100 or less.
