I sent in 4 rolls of film and got back 2. Freekin retards.

I know you guys have been dying to see my truck, but they lost my film. Now that digital cameras are affordable the film developers have shot themselves in the foot this time. I know I'm pretty lazy about pics so suggestions on good cheap digi-cameras are needed. Thanks

 

well the problem is cheap doesnt = good .......lol......there are alot of good cams out there . but they aint cheap . and the cheap ones aint good . . my boss has an olympus , dam nice cam . takes great pics . but at $399 it had better......lol..sony makes some good ones also . both brands have entry level cams that are good . and not as expensive . kodak makes good cams too..

edit . the pic in my sig is from the olympus . and others in my gallery (the most recent ones) are also.

 

What he said..

 

Yeah, as usual, he's right. I bought mine on sale at Good Guys, here in Ventura, just over a year ago, for $249. It was normally $399. By todays standards, it's old, but it works killer, and has saved me thousands in film and developing costs! Mine is an Olympus D-490 (I think). It's only got a whatcha-ma-call-it of 1.3 doohickies, whereas the new standard is 3-something, but 1.3 works great. I blow up pics and print them in 8"x10", on photo paper, and you can't tell it's not professionally done. My Grandfather, who was an avid photographer, but died 20 years before digital cameras, always said to go with Olympus, so I did. I've been more than happy.

thats what my boss' cam is a olympus d-490 i set it to HQ quality and it took 1600X1280 pics . dam good quality too . 1.3 megapixels . is still great quality ..

 

Can I print decent pictures on my ho-hum HP bubble jet type printer? Using photo paper

 

In all fairness, the print quality is only going to be as good as the printer. having never owned a HP printer, I can't give you a fair answer, but even if it doesn't, there are Epson printers available for $99 that are mind-blowingly good.

Take care,

Pictures came in. They called and said they were misplaced. I'm still gonna look for a digital.

Now, I gotta head over to my Dads and scan some...another week or so...he lives 20 minutes away.

 

yes your hp will be good if ya get a photo cartrage .

 

Sounds like my girlfriends language. Sorry PKRWUD but I just had to point out the only time I've ever seen you not realy know what your talking about. I Couldn't help it
