Title: If you know about Digi Cams please help
Post by: Heat on November 21, 2002, 12:22:21 AM: OK, I have a Cool I Cam, it\'s a pretty cheap CAM but on the box the pictures look really good and well mine are not, I was given 4 differnet bits of software and on one I can do live video and then capture a screen and that gives me the best photo quality even though it really suffers from light etc, I was wondering if there is other good software that lets me go live and then capture a screen, software does seem to help improve the pics.

Post by: fastson on November 21, 2002, 04:00:22 PM: Wow thats a pretty big difference.

My dad bought a Canon IXY 300 something when he was in Japan.. Picture quality is great (IMO .. Im no photographer) but the battery does not last very long.

He took this pic in China. (resized and compressed)
