Hope it's in the cards for you guys soon. I do like that I print only what I want, I think it really equals out financially pretty quickly. I use Google's free photo organizing software, Picasa, and it makes it extremely easy to upload photos to a number of vendors for prints, and you can either pick them up at the nearest store or have them mailed to you.<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, it doesn't quite meet your specs, but I've got a Nikon 4100. 4.1 megapixels, 3x optical zoom. If nothing else, I think it takes very nice looking photos, great color.<BR/><BR/>And last but not least, what a cute kid and nice little story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1128438669415147562005-10-04T10:11:00.000-05:002005-10-04T10:11:00.000-05:00I can only second the notion that we are spending ...I can only second the notion that we are spending SIGNIFCANTLY less on photos than we did BD (before digital). I'm certain that we've saved enough in photo printing costs in the two/three years since we've owned the digital camera to pay for it.Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1128438016033229792005-10-04T10:00:00.000-05:002005-10-04T10:00:00.000-05:00Cute kid that Starflower!Cute kid that Starflower!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01306857757487429447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1128437245730302122005-10-04T09:47:00.000-05:002005-10-04T09:47:00.000-05:00Deb,I am in a similar 35mm situation...also shoppi...Deb,<BR/>I am in a similar 35mm situation...also shopping. Also can relate to the Walmart developing time lag.<BR/>I'd shoot for at least 5mp...prices are dropping. If I get one first I'll share opinions, etc. I think I have braces for my youngest to buy tho...so I may be standing in line at the film counter for a while longer.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1128434464483403182005-10-04T09:01:00.000-05:002005-10-04T09:01:00.000-05:00pablo--apparently Blogger has forgiven you, which ...pablo--apparently Blogger has forgiven you, which is good news for everyone! <BR/><BR/>madcap--Congratulations, according to my site meter you were the 2,000th visitor to this blog! Well, at least since I added the site meter. Fun little toys, aren't they?<BR/><BR/>Does anyone have any specific recommendations for a digital camera? I'm thinking under $300, with as much optical zoom and megapixels as possible. So far the one I've found that meets these specs is the Olympus C755, with 4 mp and 10x optical zoom.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1128429929134373882005-10-04T07:45:00.000-05:002005-10-04T07:45:00.000-05:00Yep, I like the digital camera because I can see w...Yep, I like the digital camera because I can see what I just took, so I can know whether to give it another try. I rarely makes prints anymore, so if you're thinking of going digital, I'd suggest you NOT get a camera with a picture printer. Not only are they SLOOOWWWWW, but they are expensive. And the few prints I ever want I can have made at the drug store for some ridiculous charge like two bits. That's a lot of prints before I'd ever reach the cost of a picture printer of my own. (AHHH! The toner cartridges alone are a mortgage payment.)<BR/><BR/>Just my thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-1128385809475968412005-10-03T19:30:00.000-05:002005-10-03T19:30:00.000-05:00We find the digital SO much more economical, and c...We find the digital SO much more economical, and convenient, and there's far less developing chemicals because you pick and choose the ones that are worth getting processed. Will that appeal to the Hermit? It certainly appeals to mine.Madcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966173518099250557noreply@blogger.com
