: : I would recommend 3 or above. At 3 Megapixels you can have a 11"x14" with the same resolution as a normal camera. You can buy a 3 Megapixel for around $200 easy. Depending on what you want to do, they have 4 & 5 Megapixels in the $500-$700 range. Also be sure you have a Opitcal Zoom rather than a Digital Zoom.
: - I have been unable to find a 3 megapixel for under $299. If you know of any, send me the link. My wife knowing absolutely nothing digital cameras bought this camera for me that is linked below. I figured before I open the box I should do some research and really know if this is what I want. I like everything about it expect for what everyone is saying - if I want to blow the images up, then this is no good.
and Wal-Mart sold a 3.2 Kodak on Black Friday for $159. Don't know if that helps. Try finding reviews on dpreview.com. They usually have the best ones.
