Owning A Digital Camera..??

MagnumOne · 7th March 2004, 14:57

Have you found in the last cpl of years or so that owning a Digi Cam is no longer a convenience situation, but rather a situation much like owning a toaster,tv,microwave,,Etc.Etc.

It's just something you have, much like any other household item..

I've found that i take pictures of anything and everything..LOL!!

How bout it...Is the Cam a MUST!! ??

Mrs_Mia_Wallace · 7th March 2004, 15:39

I only have a regular camera but since developing costs so much over here I rarely take pictures...when I get my paycheck for my semester break job though, I will finally buy one!

I don't think it's a MUST though, just more convenient than a regular one.

(By the way, I don't own a micrwave and a toaster either, and only got a small TV because it was a Christmas gift...)

I still think that it's not that usual owning one since most of my friends don't have one, it's still kind of the expensive side for the students who don't have a job like me

OK I hear ya on the Student Factor

I'll have to ask this Q again after you've owned a Digi Cam for awhile..LOL!!

Developing film is also expensive and a pain in the ass, so I've recently got a new digital camera. I like it because it's small (highly portable), has a decent resolution (3.2Mpx), and I can print my own pictures at home for the ones I want printed.

Plus the added feature of being able to automatically delete those pics that did not come out great..

That's what I'll be looking forward to most - I'm a creppy photographer but a digital camera would make practicing much more easier - and less expensive!

I'm always taking pictures with my digital camera...Usually random things like skyline scenery, sunrises/sets, witty lisence plates, things like that...Pictures of my friends/family at special occasions or at random out-of-the-blue times, cars I like that I see out on the road, my posessions (My skateboard, bass guitar, go-kart, etc.)...

Over the years, I've made digital photography a hobby without even knowing about it...

Plus, with alot of the pictures, when I look back at them, they seem like memories I might forget if I hadn't taken them, so I'm usually glad to carry my digital camera everywhere I go...

I don't have a digicam. Well, I do, but it is a crappy one I got right after they started making them. I haven't got a new one yet, but I'm going to once I get a job.

henry3k56 · 7th March 2004, 21:02

I have a digital camera, has brought me very good pictures of stuff, interesting perspectives of my world.

I'm planning right after college to get a real digital camera where you can do much more than just snap a picture. The nice cameras at the high end.

They work very well when it comes to getting very good pictures of action, such as basketball. I use one at my mentorship with the local newspaper.

like JamCam, it takes about a minute to take a crappy picture

Merlin · 8th March 2004, 00:41

Never bought one. I wouldn't get enough use out of one to justfy the expense.

MagnumOne · 11th March 2004, 16:06

I said the same thing there Merlin...

I now own 3?? Once you get your hands on it and it's right there at your disposal, you'd be surprised...

Geez...I've got the cam attached to the dash of my Mack, with a special holder I made up... LOL!!

I've gotten a few friends wired into the cam thang also....Great Fun!!

Cheers Bud

shizawn · 11th March 2004, 18:11

When digicams first came out, it was something I wanted, but I wasn't sure if it was something I could justify paying for. Eventually I ended up gettin one for Christmas. I did use it a lot, but not enough to justify the cost (had I paid for it).

Later, my house was broken into and the camera was stolen, and for some reason, I just had to replace it. So I bought a $600 camera and have since hardly used it. Guess it's just something I need to have, peace of mind, etc.

Sorry to hear about the break in...I hope insurance paid

I hear ya on the peace of mind thing...Even if I'm not in a mood for lensing in

I want and need to know it's within striking distance ,, LOL!

DuaneJeffers · 11th March 2004, 22:07

I wish I had the money for the type of digital camera I want ... *cough*. But too bad I don't. I don't find myself needing a digital camera right now as it is too expensive for me and what I would like. Maybe when I go to college, I would get that as a gift or I will just buy it myself.

A high end Digi cam back in 99, is now a relative cumbersome low resolution (1.4 Mega Pix) digi cam. Has great lenses and still works though, so I suppose it isnt all bad.

Mi Amigo, has a nice digi cam which I desire, but I simply cant justify its expence.
