| Sharp VNEZ1 - This was bought second hand from a disappointed owner in 2002. It was too good to pass up at the time, as it is so cool looking. Shame about the rubbish resolution 0.35mp (mobile phones have a better resolution these days!), great for 'cheapy' pics and movies, just passable for web use (if you're not that fussy). First of the Mpeg 4 digicams (as of March 1999), mind you there's still not too many today. I still think its a great fun camera if not taken too seriously. | ||
