I went to Wal-Mart today and they had a Clearance Sale on a Minolta DiMageZ1 Digital camera 10x optical zoom , 3.2 mega pixel. I got it for $156.00 . Has software for loading pictures and software for editing and printing pictures. Did I do OK? I also bought and extra card that will hold 218 pictures. The one with the camera holds 20. I really want to get into digital photography and didn't want to spend too much before I learned or found out if I had a talent for it.
