First off, do you have a compact flash card?

The ability to hold more pictures will obviously allow you to take higher resolution pics without worrying about killing all the memory.

Second:

The mini-tripod!

You can buy (or rig up) but recommend buy one of these 5 inch mini-tripods.

This will cut down blur substantially and allow you to take timed shots with you in the picture (if the 3200 has the auto timer)

They run about $15 I think.

Good question.

Hmmmmmmmm, will have to check Kodak's site for the mini-tripod you mentioned. No, the DC3200 doesn't have a timer. Its as basic a digital cam as Kodak makes.

Actually, your comment about taking photos with me in them had me wanting to ask Shannon a question:
Shannon - in your trip report for Hill Country SNA, there's a head shot of you in camp. Did you take that solo, with the camera at arm's length? It had me currious enough that I actually played with that idea in my apartment.
