(Obviously I tried to get a pic developed............and it was awful)

<< <i>I like my FD Mavica too but it sure sucks if you want to get pics developed. If you want something that you can use as a normal camera as well as a coin camera then you would not want a Mavica. >>
you can use a camera for something other than coins!

But that said, I've been real happy with both a Ricoh 4300 (until it died for no apparant cause) and more recently the NIkon.

I have been getting decent results with my new Nikon 4300 (but still learning lighting.

The Ricoh is fairly simple so even a novice like me can (with a little practice) get a decent photograph
Ditto Tompkins and StuJoe. I would guess that improper lighting rather than a deficiency in the camera is responsible for the poor results I sometimes get.
