I'm hoping to get my hands on a high res digital camera (1) (still not video) to take a few pics of the LEGO City I'm constructing. But before I do I'm keen to hear other people views on how to get the best out of these cameras. One thing I've (...) (25 years ago, 2-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

Sanjay, I use a Kodak DC260 to take my pictures, and for the most part they come out pretty well. (...) many (...) The built in flash has a maximum range of 9.6 feet. I'd stick to about 5 feet though, because at 10 feet, the center will be brighter (...) (25 years ago, 2-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)

(...) I've just ordered a Nikon Coolpix 950. It matches almost my entire digital-camera wishlist (1), and has a superb macro mode. I'm hoping to get some great lego shots.

I've tried using Photoshop to adjust a number of pics that were affected by low lighting but the results weren't particularly good. Then again it was probably a case of me not using the color/lighting functions properly or the photo's were beyond (...) (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.general)
