Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler OT: 35mm point and shoot

Yup, that F1 is the type of camera also listed as a blunt weapon used for taking pictures!

Auto-focus? oh yeah, that's right, heard of that; wonder if that "new" stuff really works?(Shucks, even my cell phone camera has auto-focus and aperature!)

Golly, but that Nikon D70 looks tiny though. Nope, not much room for film or mechanical complexity in there! Probably can't use it for whompin' wheel covers back on, but I imagine it takes good photos! And let's face it, you're right, it's probably a lot cheaper to "delete" the shots you don't want, than to develope 36 prints of Namu or Shamu that nobody really wanted in the first place, but just took them out of some form of false obligation, just cause you were there! Plus the ability to leave the filters at home, and bring the imagination!!

Now if I could only use my manual Nikkor lenses!

D70 huh? I AM going to look into it!!

I purchased an Olympus digital camera for my wife's birthday. She takes a few pictures with it, so it's about time to upload them to the computer. So, what do you think happens. Nothing, nada except that the software informs me that it can't find a connected Olympus product. A-A-R-R-G

If she's already got a 35mm SLR for quality, why not suggest something in "fits in the purse" size, like the Canon Elph series. They're APS, but smaller than an American hardpack of smokes, APS does mid-roll rewind, and some other toys. The neg quality suffers, of course, but for snapshots that you get that you wouldn't unless you lugged around a camera bag, it's not bad.

Bren,

My genius son snuck in the house in the middle of the night, transferred the pics to the personal confuser and selected one of them as a wallpaper for the shock value. I guess we'll have to have a one on one. Now we'll have to train grandma how to email a picture so Amie can include my hole in the wall of sound.
