digital camera. how fast are they??

[Mr. Switch]

if you were to go on vacation and not have access to a comptuer for a while then it would be useful.

You'd have to on vacation for at least a month to fill a 4GB unless you were a travel photog shooting everyday, all the time, and they usually have a bunch of 512MB or 1GB cards anyway beucase 4GB and 8GB are slow in comparison.

If you take videos, 1GB cards fill up fast. It takes 640x480@30fps videos, a ~45 second video is like 35megs!

Honestly, who buys a still camera to take videos?

That's the only device i have that takes videos, but i take them in lower quality, 240*160.

Are you just arguing for the sake of arguing? 4GB is a lot of space, and a lot of space is good. That card isn't slow, its 150x, which is actually pretty fast. And just because its a still camera doesn't mean people won't use the video feature.

Yeah, I'm really liking this camera.

what is with the circut bord with all the holes and stuff in it?

The top picture is an Athlon XP 1800+ that I snapped in half,

The next two pictures are a Pentium 3 733Mhz that I used a pair of pliers to smash and bend the pins on.

And that's my guinea pig.

I was wondering what that furry thing was. lol

My camera has a feature where it takes 5 shots in quick succession, to ensure you get the best shot of fast paced action

 

[Mr. Switch]

But it lasts for only one second at most. meaning that you need to be better than god himself at timing instead of just pressing the shutter when something starts up and be already shooting when the action hits. That's what makes those modes worthless, because as soon as it is done shooting, it goes to instant review.

SLR's like mine for example take 3-8 shots per second until the buffer fills up, and all you have to do is hold down the shutter and it goes until the buffer or card fill up. mine fills up after about 500 someodd exposures, but i have never needed more than 15.
