Just say I am from the show me state, but a picture is worth 1000 words, or at least you don’t have to type as much. But I got my son this “Toy camera” for Christmas. It will not take super great pictures, but as with any camera it is as good as the person pushing the button. You have to be steady when you press the button. I have used it a few times to post pics of our successes and failures. It will not zoom and has no flash. You can use it indoors but seems to take better pictures outdoors. For the price I think it is a must for anyone who needs help and can post a down and dirty picture of there needs. $30.00. I ours at Target.
Just don’t compare it with a hi end camera.

I've seen people take some amazing photos with "cheap" equipment. I've done it myself. The lens is everything- it is still most interesting to me that all the camera makers (as well as those who make precision lab glassware) buy all their grinding equipment from the Germans...

Cameras in this price range have a molded plastic lense. The disposable film cameras have a lense that looks alarmingly like a shirt button....
