My only fear of digital cameras is that they get outdated about as fast as a computer.
Who knows - maybe jpg, tiff, bmp - and all that will become old news - like the cassette tape, cd's and the like.
I was using this camera a friend owns, 1st digital camera. Guess the price ?
A good, photo quality, printer is also on my want list.
Frank, You being more a professional in the photo/literary world than me, not sure what you would consider a good photo quality printer, but my wife uses an HP Photosmart D80 (I think) that maked great prints... uses 5 ink cartridges instead of the standard 4... and ink is pretty reasonable. And the printer is around $100.
Hers worked really great until she set a glass of 7UP on the table above it and the cat decided that was where she wanted to sit and knocked the glass over onto the printer... the printer still works, but evidently the paper feed for the photo paper is still sticky and jammed... haven't been able to get it fix. If I take it apart again, may be able to clean it up again. Just haven't worked on it lately.
My printer is an Epson C84... also does good job on photos.
if you know of any one that wants 4x5 stuf pm me i have a lot crown,speed,flash bulbs (about 20 cases), six shooters and black box holders for 12 specturms with good leather bags on them also the cases
That is almost collectors treasures.
IMHO, there is still a place for the 4x5/8x10, etc. view cameras. Things can be done with the swing adjustments that make our hand held miniatures look like toys.
An enlargement from an 8x10 negative is, invariably, breath taking.
Oh, why oh why did I start this thread? I think I'm gonna cry.
