I got fifteen disposable cameras
They were regularly 8.99, on sale for 2.50 each but here's the ironic part - eleven of them are decorated with an American flag and say on the front "For your American memories". What a hoot!

I'm bringing them and will be passing them out to folks. We should document, document, document!!!!

1. I bought a digital with a 512 MB memory card.
I can take over 6000 web-suitable pictures. Fill 'er up!

3. How many megapixels? Glass or plastic lens? Cost per image?
It's like 26 cents per photo after developing.

Any digital worth a crap is $300 (and even then the doorknobs that make 'em use too much jpg compression so that horny 7 Megapixels is fuckin' WORTHLESS once you get above 8x10" because all the jpeg artifacts start to show up and become annoying, and you know those twits don't bother to put in RAW or TIF modes anymore...)

Of course, if it's web quality, than any worth-$20 P.O.S. will be fine. :evilgrin:

Camera and card together was about $220. And damn fine images. You're right, though. No RAW format.

Edit to add: Nice little pocket shooter. No more buying disposables. Where do you think they go when you're done?

2. Especially at the protest because this one will be in the history books
I want to remember as much of Saturday as possible since this one is going to be legendary. I've been staying up late the last few days just so I can stay up all night if I want to at the mall (the protest concert lasts until 1am)

It's going to be an amazing weekend. I want future generations of LynneSins to know I was there
