Fellow AF Modellers

Just too excited right now, picked up canon powershot A50 digital camera 1.3 megapixel with MACRO function for $60. I'm stoked! I can't wait to get home from work and post pics of my impala with hinged trunk and door and just show everything off. Also, if anyone can find software and drivers for this cam, let me know cuz mine didnt come with it!

Did you try searching online for drivers, more often than not you can download drivers from the manufacturer's site.

All of my digital photos are taken by 1.3 meg Olympus, and it's good enough for web presentation. 1.3 should be capable of 1280 x 960 or something like that, and that's too big for the web, and especially for AF, because it will exceed the size limit of 100k.
Of course, if you want to take reference pic at high res, 1.3 meg is a little too poor though.

Here is a photo of the 5 Zigen Impreza taken by 4 years old 1.3 meg Olympus.
Original photo is here: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~xr2h-fkd/temp/p1120040.jpg
And when the size is changed from 1280 x 960 to 800 x 600 to fit the 100k limit...
