Got a Digital Camera

Stepside Z · September 3, 2001

I have been using the one at work and decided that it was time to buy my own. I can't wait for the battery to charge. Tomorrow I will get some pictures of my latest mods.

AND A CAMERA??? How much did G.Dubya send you anyway?!?!?!

I'm not much of a camera bug but I have thought about getting a digital for the puter. I have a daughter in Va. and a son in NM and I live in Miss. It seems a good way to keep in touch. I'm also not real good on puter stuff and was wondering about which one to get. Money has to figure in as I am retired and live on a fixed income. Which is the best bang for the buck along with the best storage system?

don't waist your money on the cheap ones !!!

figure on spending about ?. i have a 1 1/2 yr old kodak that i paid under ? for, they are cheaper now.

and it takes pretty good pics for the money.

use that card that comes with it, until you think you need a bigger one.

and it is pretty easy to use.

Stepside Z, Congrats!!! i just got one about three weeks ago. What did you decide on and where did you get it?

Ours in an Olympus 3040Z. I'm still learning to use the software that came with it. I also have Photoshop but this application really takes some intense studying.

Good luck.

I'm also learning how to post a picture but I haven't gotten very serious about it yet. if someone has a simple way to do it please post it.

I spent around 700 for mine.. Its great to be able to see what the pics look like just after you have taken them... I have that and a cheap film camera just for those actual photo moments..

Good luck with the camera Stepside.. now this gives you no excuses for taking lots and lots of photos ;)

find a place to host your pics. then click whatever you need to too make it appear all by itself on the page. then copy& paste the addy & put.. [ i m g] your pic addy here [ / i m g ] (remove the spaces)

I got a Sony MVC-FD75. It is pretty cool because I can look at the pics after I take them. Pop in a disk and go. I am still learning te features but I have some pics posted on my site thanks to Tom.
