Amazing the range of cameras used to post on this site. I'm suprised how nice some of the older cameras pics are. Made my decision on the new one and going to town tomorrow to get it. Great info Lady and gentlemen.

Nikon d3000. Not sure about the lens that comes standard with the camera. Will have to play with it for a while. I will still have to use the Kodak for video as the Nikon is not capable.
I read until late last night and most of the day at work on dslr's, Nikon seems to be the best bang for the buck. Best price I can find at a retail store is 479.00.
I went with the d5000 so I could have the video I think the d3000 is a great deal for the money
Mount Adams12,000 some odd feet proposed to the wife on the summit in 2004.
I think I kept the old grout too long before using...It looked great when I did it but before long it started coming out. I had another thing happen that was unusual...I had a tile crack after I cemented it down and had left it for a long time, I was on the other side of the room and heard it crack. Nobody was around it...Next time I'm not gonna try to save money, new grout and new cement.
Only specific cameras.
Please tell me you squashed the livin' :censored: out of that spider
If you have them inside you house you have far less bugs.
One time my wife was having a bath and I heard her scream blue murder and lots of water splashing. When I ran into the bathroom she was standing on the edge of the bath with her back to the wall and floating in the bath was one of these big mommas. I took it outside to the back garden to eat more bugs.
BTW they bite but their venom is not life threatening.

as Bob said, we keep them around, they keep things like Mozzies and midges in check.I did pull on a pair of shorts once, stick my hand in a pocket and it felt all weird and hairy and soft, so I pulled one of those huge Huntsmen out and he didn't bite
Another time there was one on top of a bag I was carrying. I got as far as the front door when he bit me on the heel of my hand so I had two nice puncture marks. Got a little sore and earned big bravery points with all the ladies I told my tale to, especially as I still carefully put the little/big hairy sucker outside.

Yep, it's hard trying to convince the wife's the "Huntsman" is a friend.
I catch them in a glass and take them outside to keep the peace.

I took these with my Minolta DiMAGE 7i,I paid a fortune for it about 5 years ago, I still have some Nikon non digital SLR gear I might sell although I suppose it's not worth a lot these days.
Any big hairy spiders that are game enough to come inside get zapped with my cattle prod.

Hey Slowp where are you working right now? This pic could be anywhere but looks a lot like Larch Mtn. just above my house:
That was last summer, about 4000 ft. elevation, just south of Randle. There was a lot of downhill yarding on steep ground. Not flat like on Axmen. Ibuprofen for knees ground.

Sony Mavica $1 at a yardsale,, 640x480,,uses floppy disc's.
great for posting forum pix.
Whats a Floppy? ROFL
My new computer I just built doesn't even have a floppy controller anymore on the board = floppy had died
I take all my pics and video with a Sony DSC-H1. It's a cross between a point and shoot and a DSLR. Only thing i dislike is the battery life is horrible. Like it might as well have a negative battery life its that bad
Saws, rigging and the guys who use it.
I have trouble focussing the Nikon for zoom pictures. I think I just discovered the zoom this day. Hooktender topping a tail tree.

Nothing wrong with film, I love my old SLR's, it's just that everyone has gone digi mad. The immediacy of digi cams are nice though.....until the batteries run out in the bush....

Rick, rechargeables are the go.
The digitals are just so user friendly.
You can dump the 97 shots you don't want and keep the three you do want without any waste. You can view your shots and there is increased picture quality.
