I can only imagine that the 4600 would be even better. Here's a pic I recently took with mine. mattyboombatty attached this image: Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

His photos always come out great, probably more to do with the photagrapher than the camera Butterfly Photo has it for $173, which is right in my range I'll do graffiti, If you sing to me in French.

Yes I have the 4500 no longer in production and certainly a lot more than that price. Before you buy check out all the basic extras if any at all. Rechargable batteries & recharger, etc. Size of card it could come with a very small card (basicaly useless) as it will only take a few photos when set to the full resolution. I just paid a lot more than that for a repair (caused by the tropics) I would go up to a higher model as you will not be satisfied in the end and will end up buying a beter model. I waited an extra year to get that model and I am very happy with it. I good recharger and a spare battery and good sized card would be worth more than that camera.

All these factors will help you work out the most suitable camera for you. http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Photo%20Booth/49003.html?200502170914 Keith Last edited by moondog at 13-Jun-2005 00:14 Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
