I bought a really cheap (less than $20) Argus digital camera at Walmart today. It's not a t all what I really want, but thought it would hold me over until I can afford what I do want. I mainly wanted to take pics of clothes to sell on ebay. What, if any, advice can you offer to take the best possible pics with this low-end camera?

1. resolution is 352X288 max
2. no flash
3. stores 20 "high resolution" images (see #1)

Example of photo taken indoors, with two lamps on (100W & 75W) on either side of subject. The image isn't so bad, but the graininess is terrible. I've tried using the software (ArcSoft PhotoStudio 2000) to make adjustments, but haven't had any luck making the images look better.

I took this photo outdoors late this afternoon. It looks better than the shot above and is quality I can live with, for the intended purchase.

graininess usually comes from underexposure,,if possible take your pictures outdoors or increase the lighting inside..

does the camera have a flash...????
