I have to admit, my Olympus C4040 (4.1 megapixels)is quite old now and also cost me a pretty penny, it came close to $1,000 USD back then including the various lenses to add to it for extra zoom, macro, etc. But, know what? It's a pain adding and removing all those lenses, and remembering which ones to add first in a set of 3 with adaptors! I've found that even though I also have the Sony Cybershot, (7.2 megapixels) and a lot of that is built in.. and the Olympus is lower, it still seems to take a lot better quality shots than some of the newer ones. I also read recently that cameras are now coming out with 12 megapixel, etc., but that it really isn't necessary unless someone is planning to print out high quality POSTER size pictures .. or being used professionally, and how many of us do that? So the lower megapixels are plenty sufficient for taking good quality pictures!<br /> I must admit, at first I always had that little sony camera in my pocket.. now it's just sitting on the kitchen counter! There have been a few times I did wish I had it on me when I saw something really pretty. Especially when there are great landscape type photos. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5230#post-58110 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 12:08:01 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 58110@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks to for the info on digital cameras, I'm hoping to get a good professional digital camera in the near future, something I've been 'yearning' for for quite some time. I'm still using my Kodak DX6490 (with 10x optical zoom) simply because I haven't been able to take advantage of the massive price drop I've seen in the more professional spec digital camera's. It's only 4Megapixels, but has given me good service for the past six years. It has several features that you don't find on the usual point and click digital cameras, but it doesn't have such features as interchangeable lenses and RAW capture, which I really want. When I bought it (cost me nearly $500 back then) the higher spec cameras cost a lot more than they do now, also I think the higest MegaPixel available at the time was 6MP apart from a new model that had just come out with 10MP, but that was a couple of thousand dollars. Many of these cameras have come down in price amazingly over the past six years and I can't wait to get my hands on one. :) Though I don't go out like I used to do. I was always out taking photos, but no longer :( </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5230#post-58106 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 10:50:54 +0000 SeniorCitizen 58106@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>goodgtd wrote: "It's not C8- it's worse. the C2-3 disc (just under the axis, the second bone down from the skull- the first is the atlas- see the images for more info) ruptured on the left side, pressing directly on the spinal cord from that side and is causing weakness, loss of sensation and major muscle spasms from neck to toes on the left."</p> <p>I'm a stranger on this forum thread, and though I do not know goodgtd, would like to provide my very best wishes to you and that you soon have a pain-free life.

Now we can get groceries there which are cheaper than the regular grocery store, gardening things, and whatever else we need all in one place. When I go there I do have a list of needed things.. don't go through the whole store or else I'd spend too much! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5230#post-58079 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 23:29:30 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 58079@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>:) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5230#post-58074 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 21:53:48 +0000 RosnSC 58074@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>LOL @ "envylox".

I've only just got my body clock realigned to UK time, lol. We had a brilliant time and want to return soon. I was impressed with what I saw. I loved the shops, especially Walmart (lol). </p> <p>My best moment was meeting one of the space shuttle astronauts and chatting. (also had a photo taken). I have vivid memories of all of the Apollo missions and some of the Gemini missions, so to visit Kennedy Space Station at Cape Canaveral was one of those things I've wanted to do virtually the whole of my life. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5230#post-58053 Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:49:55 +0000 copmom 58053@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Rabbit.. thanks for bringing back this topic.
