Guess what I got!

No not a C-130, this:


And for anyone who wondered what I look like, thats me. The camera is an Olympus D-540 with 3x optical zoom plus 7x digital zoom. I took it to my local airport/ANG base to try it out, and these are the only quality shots I managed to get. then the batteries died. Either the AAs that came with it are crap, or this thing uses a lot of power. Anyway, just wanted to show off.

Baaawwwhhh, mine eyes!!!!

Anyways, wonderful looking shots from a decent camera! :-)

All digicams use alot of power, esp. if you use the LCD often.

Hey Tacit,
Nice shots mate, but umm...............................
I'd take the camera back if I was you, the writings the wrong way round

Looking forward to some more shots from ya

Carl

P.S. - Don't panic, I know the shot of you was done in a mirror

[Hagar]

Very good. I'll be looking for more shots from you now.

PS. I wouldn't bother with the digital zoom. Use the highest resolution possible & process your shots on the PC. You don't need an expensive graphics editor. I use IrfanView for most of the shots I post here.

First, nice images......but now for the genuine advice.....

Go get yourself a set or two of NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries.........look for a capacity of at least 2000 mah......they'll do that camera fine for more than a days outing............also, go get more memory space..........128 megs will get you around 800 images shot at 1024x768......

The camera is a fine point-and-shoot camera. I know, 'cause I owned a D-490Zoom before I got the one I now shoot with (C-2040Z). The 490 was a predecessor to what you have just acquired. Good choice.

[TacitBlue]

thank you for the advice everyone. Ive noticed the digital zoom didnt really do much aside from making the images big and blurry. Rifleman, I wondered about rechargable batteries, Ill look into it.

you bought one of theose cheap olympus rip-offs. what a shame

like if you've been to NYC and bought a rolecks watch (although i heard there's a 1:200 chance of getting a rolex...)

[AlphaBravo]

u should get some of the rechargable batterys specialy for digital cameras. i had to get some cus my camera (which is a HP735) used to eat batterys (even the duracell long life ones  :o)
