Digital Photography

With my bargain-basement quality Kodak Digital camera I took off for California and took 164 images without a single reload. I used a 64 MB flashcard and have been thoroughly spoiled by the ease of operation and download.

Even though digital cameras are still just beginning to catch on, new ways to take, send, and print pictures are cropping up all the time. First came the announcement that Olympus and Panasonic were working on a digital camera that would print pictures instantly. We've also recently reviewed an MP3 player that has a digital camera attachment, allowing you to listen to tunes and take pictures with one device.

So where's the pix Marcia??? Working out how to download stills from my Sony Digicam to Sony Vaio computer. We have the technology - just gotta work out how to use it!!! Hadrian's Wall will appear somewhere on Spring once I figure it out!

Mine is easy - I just have to DO it. You rich people with the Sony's make me ill - and very jealous! Mine is a modest Kodak and does a fantastic job on macro but strictly ordinary on standard and zoom lenses.

I haven't quite figured out how to get the stills off my video camera onto the computer. I need to set up the i-link. Since when have I been rich???? The video camera is sponsored for my work....I don't possess a digital camera, can't afford one.... My digital photography is taking pix with my compact camera (OK, It is a Pentax, but I WORKED to get the money for that!)and scanning it in. I use Microsoft Photo Editor to work on my pictures. I find that much better than IXLA which I used to use.

I don't know if this will help, but I just discovered this fine, fine site using a websearch: http://www.well.com/user/richardl/theSilverList.html

There is just about everything you ever needed to know about computer applications at that url. Thanks for adding it to this topic! It probably should be added to apps, as well!

Maggie - that works probably better than digital for some applications. You can scan in grey scale for compressed information. If I ever get mine out of the box I will do the same.
