my cam is only 1.3 megapix....highest resolution is 1680 x whatever....this shot was taken @ 1280 x whatever, and reduced to 640 x 480....i knew the quality of this cam before i bought it, cuz my mom has had hers for over 2 years, and i have always been impressed with her pics! i picked mine up from ebay for $227 + $13 for shipping!!!! ;o)
