Digital camera - 1/20/2004 12:50:56 AM    Flaschenjager Posts: 1130 Joined: 12/21/2002 From: Central Virginia - USA Status: offline Hi David and all, I would like to add, when selecting a camera of any kind, always go with a company that specializes in cameras (camera maker). Mainly, for the optics. I now use a Nikon Coolpix3100 (digital) w/ 3.2 megapixals. It's basically all anyone should need. I use two AA rechargable batteries and it takes a small flashcard. I edit and filter w/ Adobe Photoshop 6.0 . This is my two cents minus tax . _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://members.aol.com/meechuta/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!

Computor,camera, printer. This one has been a good one for over three years, but it is time to say goodby. If I don't get back on line you know I failed, if I do it will be awhile because at 63 it' hard to find the right way to get all this setup and never had a Dig. camera in my hands. But will go down trying. Dave _____________________________ David E Dearden (in reply to David E Dearden) Post #: 3

Have to be in a good frame of mine to tackle it. You should see the tangle of wires under my desk. Thanks all Dave _____________________________ David E Dearden (in reply to David E Dearden) Post #: 5

RE: Digital camera - 4/21/2004 6:57:09 PM    Kim   Posts: 199 Joined: 2/25/2004 Status: offline Hi David Time to make room for new technology. There are a lot of wires and cords to sort out. If you can tuck them away somewhere out of sight they will be out of mind, well, so they say. I am a shocker when I get a new piece of equipment. I tackle it out of the box and fiddle around trying to work it out, then I get the instructions out which I should have done in the first place, lol. I think you will have some very interesting items to show the forum and I am sure we are all looking foreward to seeing some of it. So come on Dave get a move on!! Lol.

RE: Digital camera - 4/21/2004 10:48:41 PM    Maine Digger   Posts: 823 Joined: 2/4/2004 From: Augusta, Maine Status: offline Hey David, do what I did, I borrowed my sons digital sharp cam-corder, and had him set it up the first time. Now what's all this nonsense about all the wires you have to add in order to use the digital camera My camera only requires 1 USB cord to attach to the computer! Maybe you could borrow one of those nifty cameras we're seeing more and more in police cruisers these days! _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to David E Dearden) Post #: 7

RE: Digital camera - 4/26/2004 2:54:02 PM    KEvans   Posts: 12 Joined: 4/23/2004 From: Pagosa Springs, CO Status: offline FWIW. I have been using a Fuji Finepix A303 for the last year and a half and have great success with it. The optical zoom is equivalent to 38mm-114mm on a 35mm camera. The resolution is 3.2 megapixel. It comes with a 16mb XD memory card and I just bought my second 64mb card for $23.50. This gives me a total of over 250 exposures at 3.2mp (over 1100 exposures at the low resolution setting) It slips easily into my shirt or jeans pocket and two weeks ago, I saw prices as low as $150 for this little jewel. USB cable upload and two AA batteries. KE (in reply to David E Dearden) Post #: 8

RE: Digital camera - 4/26/2004 6:01:59 PM    Harry Pristis   Posts: 495 Joined: 7/24/2003 From: Northcentral Florida Status: offline Glad to have this testimonial, KE. You must be a smart consumer! This is from an earlier thread about digital cameras: RE: bottle pics - digital cameras (in reply to kawdog) For info and recommendations on buying a digital camera, check out http://www.ConsumerReports.org Consumer Reports top-rated 3-megapixel camera is the Fujifilm FinePix 3800 at list price $340. Their "Best Buy" is the 3-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix A303 at list price $220. More than 3 megapixels is only useful if you want to print really big, high-quality pix, or if you want to do sophisticated manipulations of your images. Hope this helps. --------------Harry Pristis _____________________________ ______________________________________________ Visit The Demijohn Page at: http://members.aol.com/pristis/index.html (in reply to David E Dearden) Post #: 9

RE: Digital camera - 5/31/2004 5:02:18 PM    Guest I use the following 5.0 mega pixel sony now. Neatly fits in the overalls when digging. Taken a couple of hundred pot lids with it. Lot of bang for the buck and well worth checking out. Comprehensive review below. This particular site is a terific reasource for comparing the latest and greatest digitals. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonydscv1/ (in reply to David E Dearden)   Post #: 11

RE: Digital camera - 6/1/2004 6:14:59 AM    Rrey199   Posts: 22 Joined: 5/24/2004 Status: offline Thought I'd chime in. I use a Cannon digital elph, 3.2 megapixels. It takes a SD ram memory card which pops out and plugs diredtly into the front of my PC. Then I just click and download. I'm still learning to do close-ups and how to work the psychotic flash. It fits in my pocket and the 64kb card holds about 60 pics. You can buy up to 1GB cards last I looked. (in reply to David E Dearden) Post #: 12
