""
a consunmer magazine

rates sony canon and olympus as having lowest repair rate

i saw a future shop ad , for a toshiba digital camera with break through low prices some weeks ago. wonder anyone bought it.

i am looking for a used one for $80 to $100"""

i have indeed bought 2 used cameras under $100 each, in the last 2 years
and i guess toshiba is finished with digital cameras for ever

i do hope that olympus having the lowest repair rate holds true
the other day my olympus c740 3 mp, 10x failed to retract back , i thought that was the end of it
fortunately after the moved the mode dial, the lens retracted without problem

here is an old loyaukee thread, 4 years ago
Which Digital Camera are you using?
http://old.loyaukee.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3812&st=0

what i said 4 years ago.....

my camera is the crudest kind
during the last year , they were auctioned by able auctions many times.
more than 50 must have been sold by auctions
the biding went way too high, more than 60 dollars but it dropped down some what to about $40 half a year ago.

my assessment of the value of the camera is $10
uses a 9 volt battery, you will be lucky if you can take 10 pictures
its cheaper to use rechargeble battery
if you also use a ac adaptor for transfering pictures to computer and erasing
then you can take 24 or 32 pictures on one battery charge overnight

absolutely no adjustment , just point and shoot
this camera has an unofficial support site,
www.thejamcam.com since the the maker of the camera went out of business

today, digital cameras grow old quickly

but the photos they took, are as always , the older the better
this is still one of my favorite photos, taken 4 1/2 years ago

i would not take a photo like this with the olympus c740, simply because i expect sharp , well exposed
photos from the c740, and what is the challenge of shooting a squash in the morning ?
certainly not with the olympus c740 which was newly introduced 4 or 5 years ago
the first hi zoom camera under $500

it s different with the simple camera i have 4 1/2 years ago
(only about $25}, the challenge is to see what can come out
of the camera, in this sense, this camera is a very interesting camera
the original picture was dark and blue, ( today people would think they have bought a bad camera )
but using photo editing software i was very pleased when the blue tinge was replaced by yellow
i think in this picture, i have captured the morning of that dewy late summer

the reason why i like digital photography as a hobby is because i was very pleased with the result
of this pic
