Guess next time I will have to get a hot chick to poise next to it so it looks real

As for black Friday never heard of it a friend turned my on to his brothers friend that has a small camera shop and he knew I was looking for a cam so he let me take this one for a couple days to see if I like it

Well if I buy it it's going to be $180 with a 1 gig memory card thing it's slightly used he uses it to take pic's for his shop's web page.

The picture looks fine, however it's virtually impossible to judge a photo's quality from a computer screen.
Whyyyy too much variation in color balance, white balance, gamma correction, etc., between the various screens.

looks good to me. i thinks it is the big wood in the picture that makes your truck look like a RC.

Looks good for a static shot. I would take some action shots with the camera and see how well those turn out before you buy.

My FujiFilm FinePix S5000 takes WONDERFUL action shots, but the HP I used to use makes horrible ones....

cut some slack, its not porn, so it doesnt need to be enhanced.. just photoshop a big shoe next to it, and call it an RC car.

Not to mention lack of DPI. The cameras that I use are around 180 dpi. I reduce the images to 72 (sometimes 30) for webpages.
