Hey Cheap Geeks! In the market for a cheap camera? How about a free one? Dealhack is sponsoring 88Slide's Back to School themed "Daily One Minute Trivia Challenge" and today's prize is a Kodak EasyShare C530. This point and shoot is pretty basic with a 5-megapixel resolution and a 1.5-inch LCD. Unfortunately, it doesn't have optical zoom--only 5X digital zoom, which as our camera expert, Terry Sullivan, will tell you is "no good." But hey, it's free, right? PC Mag didn't review this camera, but we have reviewed another C-series model, the EasyShare C533, which is a pretty average camera, also 5MP, but with 3X optical zoom. Neither of these models are particularly stylish, but cheap and stylish don't usually hang out together, do they. So go test your knowledge--today's subject is economics--and enter for your chance to win a free camera. All you have to do is watch a short video, answer the question correctly and hope for the best. The video is also available for viewing on your cell phone, or as a video podcast in iTunes. You've got until 9 p.m. And while we're on the education tip, be sure to check out Gearlog's School Days coverage and PCMag.com's Back to School Guide.
