Re: Digitals for flowers?

And do any of you computer whizzes out there have a guess as to what
type of digital camera might be compatible with Macs? Also, is there an
advantage, besides saving time, over a digital camera vs. simply
scanning in photos from a regular camera?

RE: [CHAT]Digitals for flowers?<br><br><br>> HI Sally Ann<br>><br>> We
bought our camera specifically to take on a trip out of the county
and<br>we<br>> love it. It is so easy to use, and yet have about a
zillion other<br>settings<br>> if you want to get really technical. I
use it more as a point and shoot<br>> than anything, adjusting to a
macro-focus and turning the flash off of<br>auto<br>> for certain shots.
Anyway- we chose our because it is small, compact, the<br>> is a cover
that slides over the lens to protect it when not in use (and<br>the<br>>
cover is integrally attached to the camera so there is no chance of
losing<br>> it), and best of all

it takes double A batteries (so you don't have to<br>deal<br>> with
adapters for recharging proprietary battery packs when overseas
etc).<br>> Just make sure you get super high capacity NiMH batteries to
use<br>regularly-<br>> they last the longest. The ones we use are 1800s
and were about $30<br>> w/charger. Oh, the camera is an Olympus D-550
zoom. We found the best<br>> prices at CompUSA last year when we bought
it.<br>> Hope this helps.<br>> Theresa<br>><br>> -----Original
