1.4mb great quality snaps

Just found one on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-Mavi...691737?hash=item51f058a319:g:nlQAAOSwj85YQwVu
0.3mp so you would fit a few on a disk.

Digtal is still meh to me, Flickr is full of over processed, HDR and long exposure shots, or even worse Lightroom autotoned pictures. Film is almost tangible as its made by light hitting the film so it's more than just an image, it was created by the scene

I agree if you need quick snaps of your awesome kit it would be ideal, but the last thing I paid £20 for was a Cannon FD 35-105 f3.5 lens, as new condition and stunning pictures, gawd knows what it cost new...

I am looking at getting a new digital, EOS-M I think, SLR sensor in a compact case and can use an adaptor for above (and quite a few more) FD lenses I have, that unless you get them fully converted don't play well on EOS bodies, and if I did that I couldn't use it on my FD bodies

I have a OM10 for most of my pictures. Boots will put them on a CD or a Memory stick.

But for speed I use a digital camera.

I do all my own processing so can be quite speedy

Quick snaps I use the iphone and for stuff that would result in bits of me being removed if i messed the pics up I use the digi, but its sat on a shelf for the last 6 months

@Kayos
I don't have access to a processing set up. But The service I get from Boots is good enough for me.

But it show how cheaply a reasonably priced camera is now out there and how simple it is to take and show of your work.

Parent's had one, also came with a PC Package from Tiny (IIRC)
Dad bought a 10Mb CF card from Jessops for £40 odd... (!!)

Irfanview can read and convert the .KDC files into more common formats.

Yeah mine was tiny, I got 128db CF card

I remember it was maybe, sony made a very similar camera that would store the images straight onto a 1.4mb floppy disk.

i had one sony Mavica you could get either 4 or 6 pictures to a floopy disc sure it was 2.0 mega pixals

Bought a Canon EOS 500 film camera early 90's as a replacement for things after we got broken into...
When "positive" film was abolished bought a 550D towards the end of the 00's, never looked back...
Although I am envious of the newer cheaper cameras with high MP values...

Even at 2 mega pixels surely if you got 4 pics on a 1.4mb disc it can't have been at its highest quality

Massive pixel counts aren't the be all and end all.

I had a 12MP compact, but because of the lense quality (or lack thereof) it was 12MP of crap for every image.

Really, the dc120 discussed above gave better images that could be printed bigger and better.

Now, I have a couple of compacts (around 5-7 MP) that give reasonable results and are good for snaps, my phone does alright (depending on lighting) and a couple of digi SLRs for 'decent' pics.

Still have a load of my 35mm stuff, but it hasn't been touched for years now and isn't likely to be unless I get a digiSLR body that's compatible with the lenses.

Film is just too expensive for me to justify when I was getting maybe 10 usable shots off a roll (bracketing and chancing shots) - with a memory card it feels less wrong...

The dc120 produced very good pics

you had a choice at max it was either 4 or 6 pictures to a floppy about 12 at lowest i think in fact i still have a load of floppies with pictures on have to go rooting in the loft tomorrow to see if they are still there

Just found my CF card and the USB adaptor seems my memory is on its way out the card was 512mb not 128 I posted previously, the adaptor saved all the hassle of plugging the camera into the pc and was a much quicker transfer

 

[octo0072000]

anyone have or had one of the was it kodak daisy wheel camera

i do the same with the little kodak one

 

[the snooper]

USB?

Posh git - I had a cf-pcmcia adaptor for mine

Now you've just reminded me I've got one of those aswell as my lighting desk uses them to back up your programming and as you can see the CF is 128mb soooo my memory was partly right the 128mb was after all for the camera

My first, camera, was a Kodak DC20. It was free from someone who bought it and decided it was worth spending a grand on a better one.
The DC20 resolution was something like 480x360.

 

[optima21]

my first digital camera, was a 1.2 Mega Pixel Fuji camera, when I decided that I needed to upgrade it, I did the obvious thing and bought a new phone, I bought a Sony Ericsson K800i, as this was a 3.2mega pixel camera. I'm still using theses phones nearly 10 years later. what sold it to me as a camera was that it still had a proper xenon flash, rather than using LED's. its still the only camera I have and I've always used it at vga (640 x 480 resolution)

The cybershot i had one of those in fact still have it, kept it as a spare but never needed to use it got some laughs using the face warp feature

I spent quite a while looking for a used EOS m3, I gave up in the end and bought a mint EOS M with zoom lens and flash for £150. Yes focus can be a bit slow in low contrast which causes a bit of lag but for the money it is stunningly good and will out perform my 5D mk1 in low light. The 5D cost over £1200 body only now it is worth what £200 ? Hay Ho.

My 1D mk2N uses CF cards but they are a little larger capacity. That again is an outpaced dinasour of a camera but it still turns out great action shots in all weathers only thing is you have to crop tight in camera not in editing to keep as many of those pixels as possible.

The DC20 resolution was something like 480x360.

We used to sell those to business users, anyone that used a lot of Polariod for progress, medical or ID pictures, a £200 camera would be paid for in a very short time.
However that was the beginin of the end for an entire industry, I am pleased I got out of it around that time.
