I bought Amazon's cheapest digital camera, so you don't need to! But it's also their best-selling model, so I had to make a review of this $38 wonder to see what it's like. Obviously not great, but maybe that doesn't matter for those it's aimed at. See what you think: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDC8...
