chachi 0 #1 June 19, 2003 What realistically are my options if I do not want to spend 1600US +,+,+ for a 10D. I was hoping to spend around 1K Canuck bucks so maybe around 600-700US. ~Chachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prost 0 #4 June 19, 2003 I tested out a Dimage 7i at a local retail store. I did not think its film advance was fast enough. They have a faster model called a 7hi but I have only seen it online. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chachi 0 #7 June 19, 2003 ahhh, you mean for a bite switch, I will ahve to check into it. Other than that it seems like a good camera?!? ~Chachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without a remote release it will be useless on a helmet. 5 megapixels is good resolution, yes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #9 June 20, 2003 resolution... It is labeled as a 5 mega pixel camera... I also bought a hewlett packard Photosmart printer... the printer has a small screen on it, and can read any type of media card..... It can work with or without the computer,,, and last weekend I used it as a stand alone printer.... Most folks at the DZ were in agreement that the prints were very sharp and even an 8 by 10.. print came out good.... The camera has an accessory jack,, but my conceptus switch would not fire it.... I ordered a sony hand held pendant switch...2 days ago I hope I have it soon.. It has a 59 inch long lead, and the pendant allows you to zoom or wide angle the telephoto, and also allows you to fire the shutter...... we'll see how it works.....I will have to run the cable down my sleeve,,, and deal with plugging it in, prior to donning the helmet... but that should not be too much of a problem..... the pendant has a clip on it which I hope can attach to my swoop cord as it runs across my palm... I was planning to replace my Canon Eos, with the DscV1... but then figured out a way to mount BOTH of them...... I also have a VX -1000 and a Trv-20 so this will make 4,,,, FOUR lenses. looking out from atop my helmet.... hahaha ( people have been asking me for years,,, " can you fit ANOTHER camera on there??""".... and I always thought,,, No... but I was wrong!!!!!! I did fit another... hahahha...\ I just love the idea, of shooting as many images as I want, ( 256 mb memory stick ) ( in fact if you DON'T fire the shutter frequently the camera will "turn itself off",,, which is bad bad,, if it happens on climbout,,,) so power up and fire frequently......... Freefall shots,,, soon..... Dsc V1 about 650$$$.... HP printer 265$$$$... the smiles on the faces of the subjects,,,,well worth it!!!! It may or may not be sensible as a primary camera but for my set up,,, I Think it's small size will be an asset.......

Kidding aside. That printer does a pretty nice job and if I remember I'll bring out some matte paper for you to test out on it when I head up there later today. matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites chachi 0 #11 June 20, 2003 Well after careful consideration I think I am going to spend every nickel I can and buy the D100. Sigh, anyone need a set of parents, mine are for sale. ~Chachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jimmytavino 16 #12 June 20, 2003 .......... power on power off, with indicator light wide zoom telephoto zoom, but w/out indicator. ( the camera takes about 5 seconds to complete it's range, so a proportionate amount of zoom, can get what range you may want.) Then it has a photo/shutter release and another button for video which the camera can do in short bursts, if you use a big memory stick.......I'll try it this weekend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites keithwilfort 0 #13 June 24, 2003 jimmy, you need to put a picture up of you in your packed helmet for everyone to see, it is hilarious, you have $4,000 worth of camera gear on a $ 5.00 1970's hockey helmet. keith wilfort ii Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
