refurb? whatev.

point-and-shoot camera or cell phone?

with the advances in technology, it seems like everyone is all hyped up about megapixels. a pixel the foundation of an image. its the tiny square you see if you look really closely (and i mean REALLY closely). this is what makes up a picture. having more pixels just means you can print (emphasis on the 'print') larger photos. if you're just going to post them online (to fb or a blog), you probably don't need anything bigger than .3MP (roughly 640x480).

can you guess what this photo was taken with? you have your choice of digital SLR, point-and-shoot, or cell phone.
