I am (still) thinking about a digital camera so am taking on board all these fine suggestions.<BR/><BR/>But what the heck is going on with the rest of your blog? I scrolled down to catch up on your news and found myself cornered by a rather nasty looking buffalo that had left snag marks - and worse! all over someone's mattress.

It allows you to shoot like a dummy (auto mode) or to experiment with settings such as shutter speed, aperture and ISO. It cost about $450 about two years ago. You can get a better camera now for significantly less. The cost comes down all the time.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730746285012325853.post-5979675969027141722008-02-28T11:40:00.000-07:002008-02-28T11:40:00.000-07:00hello- I found you through the Bag Lady's Blather ...hello- I found you through the Bag Lady's Blather and thought I'd pipe in with my 2 cents. I am on my second Canon Powershot digital camera and I love it. I don't pretend to know how to use all the fancy settings but over the last 5 years I've taken tons of pictures 'blindly' and they've turned out great. Plus I don't think it's too expensive (I'll be honest, both were presents) but I think they run around $150. Not bad for something even an idiot can use : )Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989528656890002126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730746285012325853.post-21571798229740743342008-02-27T18:26:00.000-07:002008-02-27T18:26:00.000-07:00Leah, I can see where you would miss all the fine ...Leah, I can see where you would miss all the fine stuff that went with your film cameras.

It isn't great for telephoto pictures, although it does have that feature. <BR/>Saw a Kodak in the Canadian Tire flyer a couple weeks ago for just under $100.00. Not sure what type it was (mine's a C300 - 3.2 megapixels) So if you look around you can probably find a reasonable little camera for a resonable price.the Bag Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434610508260994331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730746285012325853.post-22991988456908820012008-02-27T15:23:00.000-07:002008-02-27T15:23:00.000-07:00Sure, this comment appeared and it's the one with ...Sure, this comment appeared and it's the one with the missing "o."<BR/><BR/>I have the focus issue with film sometimes <B><I>too.</B></I>Leah J.

The 35mm zoom equivalent is Not Very Much. It's adequate for now, but I sure do miss my 200, 300, and 500 telephoto lenses, and all the other stuff I have for my film cameras.<BR/>There's way better stuff out now. Mine, and probably most, has a movie setting. I've hardly used it.<BR/>They're available for under $200 now, I think even under $150 some places.<BR/><BR/>I have the focus issue with film sometimes to. I have to rely on the lines in the lens matching up. Or just use the infinity setting.Leah J. Utashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497599109798015888noreply@blogger.com
