Here's a picture I took with my Nikon Coolpix 3700 somewhat recently. I got it for Christmas a year or two back, and it's been pretty nice. It's small enough that I can throw it in my backpack without having to care about any sort of extra weight. When I'm wearing khakis I can put it in a pocket and it's hardly even noticable (too big to fit into the pocket on a pair of jeans, though).
My parents have a Canon digital camera that takes fantastic pictures as well, though I have a hunch it was considerably more money than the one they got me. How ya doing, buddy? |

The trick I've found with my Nikon is to always take pictures at the highest resolution (for my camera it's only 3 megapixels) and then scale it down by 50%. It doesn't look super-nice when at the full 3 megapixel size, but after the resizing things looks a lot nicer.
The only complaint I really have about the camera is that it takes movies in .mov format. Sure, it keeps the files nice and small, but, goddamnit, why a filetype that needs quicktime (or quickalternative). I also don't get why you only have the choice to save files as .jpg on the camera (and why it decides to have the extension all in caps (.JPG), but they might have changed that by later versions). Also, their rechargable battery (if yours comes with one) holds a charge for a pretty long time and charges back up rather quickly. Edit: Here and here are two pictures I took a little over a year ago. As you can see, sometimes the camera will focus a little bit on the wrong thing (first picture check out the detail on the duct tape), but it's only a problem I've had happen with close-up pictures (and even then only occasionally). Here's a picture I took a while back of a super-closeup ferrofluid, you can see most of it turned out pretty well, but the bottom got whited out a bit. There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't know of any programs out there that can convert a .mov to something else, though I'm sure they exist. My camera takes movies at pretty low resolution and mediocre quality (17 MB movie link to me talking about the ferrofluid in the previous post), but they get the job done in a pinch.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
