Sometimes snatch these for $10 at the thrift.

  • Usually take modern memory cards, at worst with an adapter
  • Actual focus mechanism vs. fake digital zoom
  • Small loss if you drop it in the swamp, get it soaked, otherwise ruin it
  • Almost all employ high quality gears and lenses and such
  • Generally take a pair of AAs. (Maybe stay off the units with proprietary batteries.)
  • Resolution is plenty fine for most use cases. Your pic is getting down-scaled when you share it. We're dressing up and taking 1-year anniversary wedding pics because all we have is shit that was downgraded by being passed around.

tl;dr: I'd buy the one pictured in a second.

At 7mp that's pretty good.

My first one was 1.2 mp, 2 years later my phone had a 1mp. Fortunately I didn't pay much for the camera.

Better and larger sensor, producing less noise, meaning less need for noise reduction post-processing that makes smartphone photographs horribly muddy. The first digital camera my family ever owned (2MP, 8x zoom, still functional 20 years later) takes better pictures than my new phone.
