Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2005Digitall Camera Update
I've successfully charged the battery, inserted the card and taken my first picture. Ted (of Ollie fame) was here and I have one of him clutching FSP, who as usual looks suitably cross. My memory card is 256 mb whatever that means. Am not sure how many pictures it will hold - I stupidly threw out the cardboard container. We had to buy a bag for the camera - I was surprised that it didn't come with its own bag but it seems that none of them do. I'll soon have it full of cat pix, hehe. Bev  SignatureCats aren't clean, they're just covered with cat spit. Way to go Bev, looking forward to all the pic's of B&C and FSP as well. What brand of camera did you get? They have come down a lot in price since we bought ours. Hope you get many years of happy snapping. Lois > I've successfully charged the battery, inserted the card and taken my > first picture.

The picture quality setting you use when taking pictures. On my Canon 6MP camera, at best quality a 128MB stick holds ~36 pictures. If your camera has similar resolution (i.e. MP) you would expect around 72 pictures on a 256MB stick. So if you plan on going on holiday and taking lots of pictures you might want to take several memory cards with you, or a laptop that you can use to download the pictures to when you fill up the card.

And (hint, hint) you don't have to wait for the card to fill up before you download AND POST YOUR PICTURES. ;) ;) nudge nudge > >> I've successfully charged the battery, inserted the card and taken my > >> first picture.

I am about to pounce on some fluffy subjects, lol. Bev SignatureCats aren't clean, they're just covered with cat spit. Is there no number on the corner of your screen that tells you how many shots you have left? There should be. I'm sure in your manual it will tell you about it. I've got a 4 megapixel camera with a 128 mb card and at a picture size of 2048 x 1536 pixels, it holds 162 pictures. This isn't the highest setting for my camera. Your camera is 3.2 megapixels if I recall, so at a similar setting you should be getting approximately twice as many pictures onto the card. Probably enough for a 2 week holiday. What I do when I go away is go through the day's shots at the end of the day and delete any bad ones to make room for more. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.

Some of the prettier ones are in Tom's website (http://soulofthegarden.com), click under Daily Muse and then go to December 2004. I should put more online, I'll try to do that this week.

Its of a lake south of Anchorage Alaska. Its a nice painting, but not really extraordinary. But I have been camping in a spot that would be pretty much in the middle of the far side of the lake in the picture. And darn near froze my butt off. In the summer when the mercury tops 100 here in northern California, I can sit a look at that picture and I swear my body temperature drops a couple of degrees. I can't look at it and not feel cooler. So have a good print made of your maples. And make a point of looking at it in the summer. I guarantee it will make you feel cooler.

It depends on what picture size you have it set to, how big your card is and how many pictures you've already taken. If you've also taken a little movie, the number will go down very fast. But there should be a number or some other indication somewhere on the screen. Mind you, I don't know how old your cameras are. The oldest one I've ever used was a 2000 model and it certainly had it. I have used Sanyo, Canon, Olympus and Sony's. -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!
