Well, i've been telling myself i wanted a digital camera for about 6 months now, but have never found one i like, or that was a good price. Finaly Sony came out with something that i liked! The DSC-S75. I ordered it online at ecost.com just a few minutes ago, and it should be here tomorrow morning!

I've heard that the lenses on the Sony's and HP's are actually plastic rather than glass.  Not sure if it's true or not.  I really want to see some of the pics when you get it.  I'm sure that you'll be taking pics of everything:)

Cool.  I'm trying to get our resource advisor at work to authorize me to buy a new one and I think I'm going to get a DSC-S50, S70, or S75, depending on how much $ he authorizes me.  We have and OLD one and use it alot for training and competitions, so we'll eventually get one.  I might have to accidentally bring it home and use it every once in a while. :wink:

I think that GM-trucks.com should buy a new one for forum use.  We could keep it at my house.  Honest.  I wouldnt use it.  Much.  Congrats on the camera.  I have one and we use it all the time.  They have come a long way.  The pictures rival my 35mm.

Mervz, After you've had it a while, report back and let us know how you like it. I've been looking for a month or so but not jumped in yet. I'm very interested in buying one.

Good luck.

Congrats on buying a camera!! Do you know what memory stick it comes with? I bought an extra 8MB stick for mine. I set the pics at 640x480 which work perfect for web pics, and I can take pictures all day long. I bet it can hold 50+ pics. Just a suggestion for ya. Have fun with it.

Later

It comes with an 8mb card, but i also bought a 32mb card to go with it. I want to be able to take several hundred pictures at one session.

The camera was a great deal al ecost.com. They are the best place to get stuff online, IMHO.

The Camera was ?, and the Card was ?. No to shabby. I should be getting it very soon!(within a few hours!)

I'll let you all know how it works!

Well i got it!!!! Whoo HOO!! :biggrin:

First Impressions are that it is VERY small! I'm afraid that i'm going to lose one of the memory cards. The 32mb card will hold 145 600x800 pictures, on the "high quality" setting. The "Standard" setting will hold over twice that much, about 400 pictures! I'll have to see what setting i should use.

Only problem now, is that my father's laptop is the only computer we have that has a USB port, and he's in Las Vegas untill tonight. So i won't be able to post any pictures today. :(The instructions are VERY good. I set up the camera with all the settings i wanted in less than 5 mintues, no problems.

I can't wait to get some pictures up tomorrow.

SOny makes a great digital camera and I'm sure you'll love it.  I have an Epson that I bought about 3 years ago and it's worked great all along.  My best resolution is only 1024x780 so I can't print "photo quality" any larger than a 5x7.  A 5x7 print with my 6-color Epson printer looks like I had it made at a developers though.  You'll find that the lowest resolution is where you'll want  to keep it for posting on the net.  Otherwise youyr images are too large (bytes) and require too long of a load time.  Good Luck and have fun!!!

 No USB port!?  Sounds like it's time to up-grade!

Tell me about it!!! Actually we're specing out a new setup right now. We're really going all out, so that we can do some heavy graphics work.

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
