        RE: Digital Camera —Bram Lambrecht
   (...) I have had a 990 for a month or two now, and I love it! (I got it for $836 at pcwonders.com) The twist body design is really useful because you can tilt the LCD so you can look in a different direction than the lens is pointed...for example, (...)

        Re: Digital Camera —Matthew Miller
     (...) The Nikon cameras also have an excellent macro mode -- very nice for taking Lego pictures. Although many people are recommending Olympus's cameras, I personally find them to have terrible ergonomics. They may be fine if you're used to a (...)

         Re: Digital Camera —Erik Olson
     (...) Coming to the opposite conclusion: I appreciated the shape of the Olympus, and hated the Nikon shape. The Nikon swivel head was intriguing, but I got a better one-handed operating grip on the Olympus. The right half of the camera is wedge- (...)

         Re: Digital Camera —Peter Vogel
     As far as macro shots go (especially LEGO) I use the LCD for composing the shot, since that gives me an SLR effect and what I see is almost exactly what I will get in my shot. With any non-SLR camera, macro mode is near useless since parallax is (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: Digital Camera —Matthew Miller
     (...) I couldn't disagree more. I *love* the swivel when composing shots from the LCD, which is what I do mostly. I wouldn't buy a digital camera without this feature. (And if you don't like the swivel, the Nikon 800 is still a nice camera -- most (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

         Re: Digital Camera —Kai Brodersen
     (...) The 880 is great, it can record 40 sec movies, has 3.3 megapixels and 2.5 optical zoom. But the problem is how to download pictures.

         Re: Digital Camera —Erik Olson
     (...) It's about comparative pricing: if any company included a 16mb card, their camera would be $25 less profitable than the other guy's. Plenty of reviews lament the 8mb card.
