Re: Digital camera —Tamyra Teed

Note: Nikon makes a great camera! it's called the Cool Pix 995 and it just had a major price drop to 599.99 (it's on it's way to the discontinued bin) THOUGH... you can get it cheaper, much cheaper, look at buydig.com (I found them on (...)

RE: Digital camera —Bram Lambrecht

(...) I paid $840 for the Coolpix 990--excellent camera--but that was over a year ago. My roommate got a 995 for under $400 recently because of all the rebates. --Bram Bram Lambrecht bram@cwru.edu www.bldesign.org (22 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish.photography)

Re: Digital camera —Joe Meno

(...) The Nikon is a GREAT camera...the newspaper I work at uses these for impromptu photo shoots at dealers and stores. I used the following criteria for a camera: Macro Flash (that's a given on digitals these days) Zoom Movie mode (just in case) (...)

Re: Digital camera —James Stacey

There are a fair few low end cameras around. (In the UK) you can pick one up for a bot £40 - £50, so it may be birthday present fodder. You could always buy a cheap webcam or if you've got a scanner just use conventional photos and scan em in, like (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish.photography)

Re: Digital camera —Tamyra Teed

(...) I remember what it's like being a kid with limited income :( Like someone said, you could always look at getting a cheap webcam and using that. (Just remember you get what you pay for) Though instead of doing that, I'd probably try to find a (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish.photography)

Re: Digital camera —John Henry Kruer

(...) Excuse my ignorance.. but what is a web cam? And what makes them so cheap? Do they just have worse quality? John Kruer (22 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish.photography)

Re: Digital camera —Erik Olson

(...) Webcams are the tethered cameras (serial port, USB, whatever) made famous by Connectix (and others) as little balls that sit on top of your monitor and transmit your face. Earthlink gave them away with a subscription for a long while. (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish.photography)

Re: Digital camera —Kyle Beatty

(...) In 2002, webcams are a whole different breed. My favorite is the Intel PC Pocket camera which is running at (URL) can be brought very close using the manual focus. Bonus: It can be unplugged and used away from the PC. (Manual focus is disabled (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish.photography)

Re: Digital camera —Matt Hein

(...) Yeah. I'm short on funds too. That's why I'm selling some of my extra Lego in the buy-sell-trade column. I think It's gonna be a while until I get myself a decent camera. :) Just my two brickz... <<_Matt Hein_>> Lugnet member NO. 1112 (22 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish.photography)

Re: Digital camera —Maggie Cambron

(...) Now THAT'S interesting. At twelvish, huh? Maybe I should have asked the other moms how much they give their kids instead of relying on my eight-year-old to tell me what kids these days are getting for an allowance.... Seriously, if you can (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish.photography)

Re: Digital camera —John Henry Kruer

(...) Sadly, thats about as likely as a pig growing wings. My parents think that 3.50 is alot, and I shouldn't get half of it! They just tell me to wait. (...) :-) Well, I tell my parents about the kids who get 50 dollars a week, (and show me proof) (...) (22 years ago, 20-Mar-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish.photography)

Re: Digital camera —Maggie Cambron

(...) He was getting a dollar until he came home and told me that in a comparison of classmates' allowances, the lowest anyone else got was $3 and there were kids getting $6 or $7. So I bumped it up to $3. I DO think it is excessive because once you (...) (22 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.general)

Re: Digital camera —Benjamin Medinets

(...) WOW!!!! $3 a week, plus "unlimited" lego.... :) I wish I got that when I was a kid. I got money from relatives, and managed the odd job here and there, plus LEGO wasn't that bad back then. You could buy a real nice lego set for even $10. So I (...) (22 years ago, 21-Mar-02, to lugnet.general)

Re: Digital camera —Kevin Wilson

John Henry Kruer wrote in message ... (...) Your best bet on a small allowance is a cheap webcam (the cheapest I see here is CN$30, so US$20) for closeups and a normal 35mm camera with the pics developed onto a CD for overall pictures.

Re: Digital camera —Ronan Webb

Hey I went for a Canon G2 after a bit of research, got it about 10 weeks ago. Factors other than lego photography were involved in my choice else i'd probably have picked up one of the Nikon 775s ... as suggested. Thought I'd throw these up to show (...)
