I scaled the resolution on my camera down to 640x480 and this is what it looks like:

Resolution and picture quality do not always go hand in hand..

More megapixels means bigger, but not necessarily better. The camera's image processing systems and lenses contribute to image quality.

can anyone suggest a camera that is $200 or less? I am looking at the olympus d-380 right now. its 2 megapixels

yea i looked on cnet and the rest of the sites but i wanted to know information from a fellow herper who might want to take pictures in the nature, scenic sites or whatever. anyone have any opinions?

A really good site to visit is www.dpreview.com

Is that $200 in US or CDN?

To post a picture on the internet is 640 * 480 the best size its loading fast and its good looking.

I would suggest getting a minimum of 2 megapixals, it's better to have more then less as you can always "tone it down" but you can't get more pixals when there aren't any.
