Telephone/Camera

[kengillard]

I'd like some help buying a mobile (prepaid) that takes great pics for selling on Ebay and loading onto my computer.....and is super cheap.  I don't use a mobile much at all so don't want to pay the earth.   This is my most recent attempt to upload pics.....something very very simple to use .   My old brain aint what it used to be!  Thanks in advance.

Gilly if its a camera and has a USB cable all you should have to do is plug it in to your camera and computer and then access the camera with windoze explorer (file manager)

Gill.. did you buy a camera card to go with the camera (sold separately).

I find using the camera card in the computer easier than using a usb cable. With the  usb cable the camera needs to have battery life, with the card, camera is not involved in the process at all.

I had a cheap sanyo for years.  Took a fantastic photo and uploaded onto my computer easily with a camera card.

Just paid more for a canon and don't like it as much.

All I did with the Sanyo was put the camera card into the slot and ticked import photos and they went straight to my picture file in windows.

Windows have an editing program where you can crop them and adjust the exposure if needed.

Maybe you haven't had a camera card?

maybe....as simple as no camera card?    certainly hope so.  will ask daughter and SIL.  THANKS.

I tried taking pics for ebay with a phone for a while, Gilly, but just wasn't happy with the results, I couldn't get the macro shots for the fine detail. I ended up buying another camera.

Gillie, sorry I forgot to tell you that you have to buy the sim card seperately. I have a 4Gb card that has cost $12.- It is sufficient for what I need. Let your daughter explain to you how it works, and better have pen and paper ready to make notes in your own words on how and what to do.

That's what I do when I learn someting new, and the person explaining to me is not readily available.

If you intend to show pictures with good detail forget it they just don't make the grade.

Sorry, ca04,

but I have used my camera for almost two years and got great details on photos of items I sold. The more expensive camera sits in a drawer, it never gave the same quality photos.

ca04 - might have been referring to mobile phone camera photos, erica. (especially cheap phones).
