What cameras do you got?

I got me one of dem cameras dat take the perddy pictures.

Digital I've got a kodak dx4200 I've had for a couple of years, still does the job,
Film I've got some old hanimex(sp?) that I got for my 10th birthday that's in a box somewhere and has been for about 10 years, and I stuff around with dads old slr Pentax Asahi camera, he's got plenty of lenses that I have no clue on how to use.

Olympus C-700 UltraZoom
2megapixel
10X Optical Zoom

I've taken about 10,000 pics over the past 6 months! :eek:

Took about 600 on the weekend using a borrowed D70 :dD

I have a Sony DSCV1 digital camera and I hardly use it. I want to use it more often though but im still not sure what to do with all the pics.

Do you all print them out and add them to a photo album?
Do you use them as your screen saver where the picture changes every x seconds?
Or something else?

thanks

[Tonti]

Is anyone selling any digital cameras? :D I'll pay up to $28 inc. postage for a near new condition camera :) I missed out on one on EBay by 50 cents :(

[dvdude]

tonti,

You can buy em for $30 from DIck Smith :) The quality may be dubious though ;)

I display some of my pics online, I use some for my screensavers.
But mostly, it's practicing photos, different shutter speeds, different angles, different corners at the track. And sometimes if it's a swimsuit competition, you just wanna shoot as much as you can! :dD

[WindShear]

I've got a Sony dsc-p7 original... currently looking at flogging it off though..
I've also got a Fuji S5000... it's pretty nifty :)

This place is pretty cheap. There was another place mentioned in another thread in Photography Discussion about the price of digital memory, somewhere in sydney

Our forum owners have some nicely priced compact flash cards, starting at $121 pp for a 512Mb Sandisk Ultra II ;)

BTW, if you don't like shutter lag, check out the Digital SLR's, they don't suffer from this problem.

My first Digital camers was 0.3 megapixel. It does not need memory card, as it stores the images on a floppy disk. It has LCD display too. I am sort of regret now after I gave it away two years ago. It should soon become a collectible item.:)

Sony MVC-FD5
Resolution .31 Megapixel
Resolutions 640 x 480

That is the major drawback for the consumer digital cameras. Most of them have staggering specs of mega pixels and zoom reach, but they take too long to focus and shoot. They miss all the good snaps. (isn't that the cameras are for?).

Last time I checked, she is from England. If money is not a problem, digital SLR will be the way to go.

Digital cameras have changed.....

If you prefocus, a lot of digital cameras these days have a 0.1-0.2 second shutter lag.

[redbears]

I hope they do.... although my sister's IXUS 500 is still way slower than the 10D shutter lag wise. But much better than my old Kodak DC5000..

You can't, but that happens whether it's autofocus, manual focus or whatever. An experienced photographer will prefocus on something ELSE that will be the same distance away as the expected subject when it arrives.

ANY auto focus camera, whether it's digital of film will have a focus delay, while it focuses. That means in order to evaluate the shutter lag of a digital versus a film camera, you need to take the autofocus out of the calculation.

Previously, older digital cameras sometimes had shutter delays of 2 seconds. these days many digital cameras have delays of 0.1-0.2 seconds.
