(...) Well, this has an AC input jack and a hotshoe, if that's what you mean... (...) The high ISO was very interesting, and I can't wait until I get the camera. (In one or two months, hopefully!) I'm going to try using a few cheap slave flashes (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish.photography, FTX)

(...) The Fuji uses 4 AA batteries, so I plan to get (or use my current) rechargable NIMH batteries. It did pretty good on pattery life, too. I believe it lasted over 3 hours, which is very good.

(...) Yeah, I definently considered the 4500. Only thing I didn't like was the small lens with limited aperatures (you need a small aperature for really close photography) and no hot shoe. But it is a very respectable camera.... (2 URLs) >> (23 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish.photography, FTX)

(...) The Fuji can take extra lenses too, in fact I'm going to try to buy a close-up filter so I can just screw it on and use the camera in normal mode zooming in. This reduces distortion and allows for easier lighting. Yeah, the Olypmus was (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jul-03, to lugnet.publish.photography, FTX)

(...) That's an impressive looking camera. Perhaps more than you need for Lego photography. If you've got a good macro mode then high optical zoom isn't as much of a necessity - you simply move the camera closer. You might consider getting something (...)

While there is more color fideltiy at higher bit-depths, above a certain point the human eye can't tell the difference. 24-bit is also termed "true color" because it's 16.7 million color range is close to the limit of what the human eye can (...)

It won't. What I'm saying is that a 2x-downsampled (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.publish.photography)

If the CCD chip has an area of X-by-Y pixels and you are at maximum optical zoom, then any form of digital zoom requires interpolating between adjacent real pixels. The color (...)
