Passed away.

Thanks for being a part of us, even if it wasn't always on the best of terms.

My parents had a Sony Mavica in the early 2000s that saved pictures to floppy disks. It was only like 2 years until we bought a computer with no floppy drive

There are still VGA cameras around... The DSi, for example.

Speaking of VGA cameras, the iPod Touch's front one actually is one.

It's understandable, though, seeing as usually you'll only use that for talking to people face to face, or taking a picture of yourself...

So is the iPhone 4, which is pretty ridiculous. It could easily have been a 1.2MP. The back camera is significantly better than the iPod touch though.

Ah, yea... I remember those Mavica cameras... very popular back in the day

I recently purchased a Sony Mavica still camera, which, for those unfamiliar, is a digital camera that stores snapshots on a floppy disk. Twice so far I have had someone ask me if it is safe to take the disk out in a lighted room.

Yep, I can see why people might say that

Significantly doesn't begin to describe it.

The iPod Touch camera just gets way, way too much shit. Decent pictures in good light. I usually reduce the resolution to 512x384 or lower, anyway...

This should be a milestone post, but it isn't! The next post shall be, because it's far more important.

One of the best out there besides the Nikon D3X which is about $7400 for body only.


Me, I'm the old school film user. I'm using my Grandpa's Canon AE-1 to take pics--the picture in my layout is one of them.

He had the camera refurbished right before I (Whoops, I'm not dead) he died. I figure he'd be happy if I gave his camera some good use taking pictures of things he sadly never got to see.

You should post a link to the actual original picture, sometime. I'm curious to see how it'd look without artifacting.

Well, most of my stuff is in JPG currently... but if you want the whole image at once, here it is.

I'd have to re-scan it to BMP or something to remove all of it.

I have to say, I like the convenience of a digital camera and all, but there is something about a traditional film picture...

When you scan it enough, a traditional film picture can also surpass some digital.

It just takes a bit of... fineagling. I still don't have scanning down 100%.

Same here... and considering the fact that digital cameras that produce the quality of 35mm film images tend to cost in the thousands of dollars...

Need to eat dinner and I am so happy that I only have one work day until my weekend.

I do have to wake up early on Friday for my doc appointment.

I need to get a real computer desk. This fold out table is so floppy. I see my monitors shaking while I'm typing. Its kind of annoying, more so when I'm trying to play video games.

When I'd scan, I always use BMP at first.

It's an excellent base format to work off of, but not for sharing.

BMP is a weird format in some ways... I never understood why it stored images upside down.
