alexf20c, Why do you need to take 1600x1200 photos if you are an amateur? with those sized photos wouldn't you be better off with around 4.5 megapixels? but then again i don't know if you can get it under $500. I think Sony's are pretty decent. Sure you can find better with the same money, but they are user-friendly, etc so it's not too bad.

realthing,
well, i dont need such hi-res pics, but i would think that if the camera is capable of that resolution, it should be able to create some clear pics at said res. i mean, it's there for a reason... i think.
but the sony is very user-friendly, one of the main reasons i got it is because i have a vaio desktop... and i didn't really know what else to get... us amateurs

Hey, I use a Kodak KC 3200, the cheapest "name brand" camera you can buy. I got it for the sole purpose of taking pictures for this forum. It's adequate for it's intended use. I'm not bucking for a prize in a photo contest, only to add a pic or two to a post.
Ludatic, those pics didn't suck at all. They got the point across just fine. And NO, you don't get a prize.

Hey All!
xviper -- The stock clutch is NOTRIOUSLY weak, and will NOT hold up to that kind of launch -- at least not in my experience with it! But with the Spoon clutch + flywheel, it grips nicely, there is no clutch burn and the car just takes off! 
docofmind -- yup! The car (and/or its parts) are for sale as we speak!
realthing -- I'm running on 94oct gas. We can get that from the pump here in Vancouver. Ideally, I'd like to use higher, but with 94, I don't get any knock/ping even with the hi-comp engine.

[B]OT, but do NOT get a Sony P-71! It's a decent 3.2-megapixel camera (for the price - ~$400), but at full res (1600x1200) the pics are so gosh darn blurry! It's not because I can't hold it still; even when it's on the tripod and set on timer, it's blurry as hell!
I even returned my first P-71 thinking it was a lemon 
, but it's the same with my 2nd one! Arrghh!
