Firstly,thanks for all of the plugs on my blogs. Cool. Very cool. Thanks. I need more hits, more hits, more hits....<BR/>You can have TWO digital cameras - just think about it. You can get a teeny tiny Nikon 5 mp 3x zoom digital for $250 and carry it with you wherever you go. It takes GOOD photos. I know. I have one.<BR/>Then, you can have a digital SLR for those times (trips to Africa) when you know you are going to be taking lots of photos. If your SLR is fairly new, you can probably get a digital SLR that will use all of your existing lenses.<BR/><BR/>Okay. I'm not going to beat you over the head about it. Mike (hammer and nail) is doing a sufficient job of that and it's driving me NUTS!<BR/>Pegthe many Bshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997044205830787615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10628759.post-1123471303793194112005-08-07T22:21:00.000-05:002005-08-07T22:21:00.000-05:00I bet you paid a lot for your 8-track tape player,...I bet you paid a lot for your 8-track tape player, too.<BR/><BR/>And did I hear you right?

She can then send them to me aattached to e-mail. A quick "save as" and a few clicks to convert them to JPeg and they are ready to load on my site.<BR/> However, she just raised the bar. Her fiance bought her a digital cam-corder (which can also take digital stills)that eventually have me trying to figure out how to post video.
