I don't mean to bust your bubble denissilver but people continue to think that the higher the amount of megapixels, the better the camera! The lens itself is the most important thing and obviously it's going to be pretty poor on a 89 yoyo camera.Basically the higher the megapixels (or resolution) only gives a guide as to how big you can print off an image without pixelisation.So a crap lense with a high resolution just means you can print off high res crap! ;p

Still - Great deal though. Thanks!

This is so true, but most people don't and will never get it. I used to have a cheapo 4mp camera and it was rubbish. Quality was dire. Now have a nikon 3mp and its light years better. Imazing quality and a excellent 640x480 movie mode for €209. For 6x4 and even 7x5 a 2mp is all you need.

looks pretty good to me!

Hate to burst YOUR bubble carbsy but maybe you could have saved a lot of money when you got your digtial camera!

They seem to be selling it at the sterling price in euro. Wonder if it's a mistake!

Trust don't make proper digital cameras.
Some of them can be alright but the image quality is typically (even on the hig res ones) rather poor and can be equaled by older 1.5MP from companies like Canon, Pentax, Nikon, Olympus, etc.

I'm lost... 1) I didn't buy any camera??!!?? 2) I wouldn't buy anything from Trust ,having been a purchaser for a retail outlet here in Cork and have too many stories of shoddy products from them.

I wouldn't go that far.

I wouldn't buy one of their cameras (or webcams for that matter) but seen as how they are simply an outsourcer (like Nike) (they just package the products, not design or build them) some of their suppliers who actually desing and built their products are pretty good.

Their 56k modems we sold by the thousand and were based on a very good hardware Connexant chipset.

Thier USB2 cards are VIA/NEC based and work very well (and I HATE USB).
