Don't throw away your old digital camera - here are some ways to get some use out of it.

After purchasing a new digital camera, you may be considering what to do with your old camera that may have fewer megapixels, less zoom range, and fewer features than your current one. Here are a few suggestions:

- Give your old digital camera to your parents or friends to introduce them to the world of digital photography (be prepared to spend time showing them how everything works!)

- Keep your old digital camera as a backup in case your main digital camera fails.

- Donate your digital camera to charity or a school (this may be tax deductible - contact your accountant and/or charity for information).

- Sell your old digital camera, if it is in good condition, on an auction site such as eBay.

- Sell your old digital camera in your newspaper classifieds.
