Good point re the rechargeables Al.

I'm not anti digi, it's all I've used for the last 18 months too, although it looks like the sensor has crapped itself on the little Cannon PS now.....

AS for pic quality I dunno, that always came down to lens quality IMO, then the nut behind the viewfinder.
If you used print film, not trannies, the average 60 minute film processors had no idea how to develop film, it was always crap, so you had to send it off to a pro lab in the big cities just like the wedding photographers did.
 
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....

With the early digi's I ran out of battery a few times and became paranoid about this, especially in colder climates, so I used to carry up to 6 sets of batteries so I would never ran out. My D20 will take about 750 photos on one charge while the D50 does about 450 on one charge. I have one spare battery that fits in both cameras so as long as I can get to a power point at night I'm generally covered.

With film cameras I was always running out of film but I have never run out of storage with the digis because I travel with a laptop.
 
Its not the Camera its what image you are capturing.

I use a Kodak C613 which does me fine. Its a 6.2 mega pixel and even tho the video quality isnt the best i love the camera itself. Does me fine.

I feel for you guys. Alot of my friends and coworkers are still recovering from the flood of 08 in central Iowa. As property goes, there is no worse natural disaster.
 
I have my wife take all the pics since she is into photography. I bought her a Canon S5is a few years ago and that really got her interested in photography. It was a big step up from the Nikon Coolpix 4300 we had before it. Once she got into it though she wanted a DSLR.... so I bought her a used Nikon D200 and a few lenses. The D200 is LIGHT YEARS above the S5is which was a WAY nicer camera then the Coolpix 4300.

It's all about what you want it for and how much time/money you are willing to invest. I can't take a decent pic with the D200 since there is no "Auto" mode and I can't set it up right. I probably too my best pics with the simplest camera since I just put it in auto mode. The Canon was capable of much better pics.... if you could set it up right, and like I said before the Nikon is a HUGE improvement over the Canon S5is.... IF you can use the settings properly.
 
I am happy with my Olympus waterproof 850 SW. I really bought it for fishing but it does a decent job on saws etc. I really like the macro options and the fill in flash like on this pic of my 268 is very good.

Olympus takes a good pic. I can see where the waterproof feature would be handy.

Who is selling NOS 268's? Nice saw.

Where you at in WV. I'm headed up to our place at Barnum on Tuesday and hope it doesn't look like that but afraid it will. 3 - 5 inches of rain on top of 3 feet of snow already on the ground. Glad to hear that your place escaped. Ours is high up and steep but the erosion can be bad.
 
Quick pic off my Canon A720is. I also have a Canon digital SLR, I seem to grab the little camera allot just cause its easy.

A small project I'm working on for a member here.
