Digital Cameras are Cool

[Bloggeries]

I had a boxing day blowout mentality and bought a new laptop and a digital camera, web cam, printer . Soo many times I'd say I wish I had my camera one of them being that morning with a 500+ line up at 6am in sub 0 weather!

Picked up the Canon Powershot TX1



Never was much of a camera guy until I bought this. Suddenly I'm that guy capturing everything and I love it. Only major drawback would probably be battery time on long trips w/ the LCD being on whenever I'm using the camera. I guess I should buy a backup battery.

I'm sure many of you are more into cameras so what kind do you have and what kind would you like to have?

Oh I looovvveee digital cameras! I have a few Kodak ones....yes, a few...I've upgraded a few times and have a couple for different reasons (like a have a pocket sized one vs. a larger one that I can add extensions/filters/etc to).

You certainly did go on a spree, though! I hope you enjoy everything you got!

I love, love, love my camera!!!!

35 mm is great, but my digital slr let's me photograph the world. Seriously. I had no idea what the world could be before this, now I'm shocked to see how many people live without digital or with crappy (slow, bad) digital.



Canon Rebel XTi.
Awesome.
I'm sure all digital slr owners feel this way, but oh, the happiness it gives me. I never leave home without it!

side note: I actually won 2/3 the $ to buy it in a photo competition. Had I known how much I'd love it, I'd have spent all of the $ on it a long, long time ago. It really is that awesome!

I never got into taking pictures, I was always to engrossed in what was going on around me to pull out the camera. I bought one after our trip to Mexico last year, and love it!!

Check out the PQ Talking Photo on the other thread, it really adds alot to your pictures. I blogged about it and got a free copy of the full software.

Thanks! I'll check it out!
(I've been accused of that btw, not being present because I'm too focused on taking pictures. in most cases I find it more enjoyable experiencing life through my lens. I love taking pictures)

I've been an amateur photographer for many years. Took a photo class once and even learned how to develop black & white film. I wish I could get past the learning curve with Adobe PhotoShop. Would really like to have a digital SLR too, but I have a pretty nice camera in the Olympus C-8080. I have used it in a lot of how-to's and reviews and I enjoy shooting my friends. I'm kinda a ham myself too.

Nice, what kind of car is that engine from?

[enterpriseJM]

Not quite sure on the year, but I think it's either a '31 or '32 Chevy.
