it doesn't say how many pixels or how old it is.
i guess my lazy ass could look it up, but i thought maybe 90130 or tommy t would
have some expert input

i looked it up and this package seems to be worth around 1300.00 new.

Hey, Fossil...here's a link to Digital photography review's full evaluation of
the DSC-505V. It's old news, but should light years ahead of that Vivitar you
inherited.

Yeah, looks like you'd better stock up on some of Sony's proprietary
"Memory stick" media, too. This camera does not use the more familiar
CF or SD cards which seem to be the industry standard. If you have CF slots on
your computer, you can buy a memory stick reader/adapter that allows you to plug
a memory stick into them or the USB. Or just use the camera's USB cable to
download images from the camera itself. You can buy Memory sticks up to 2Gb or
more now. Sony's newer DSC-F828 camera allows you to use both media formats; it
has slots for both!

i figured out what i was doing wrong w/my camera!
the "e.v. and white balance" has to be set to the desired
brightness.....duh!
i just thought it would adjust by itself,*no*!
maybe i'll have some better shots outside now!
