   Smart Media Cards aren't listed in the spec, but your reader for it can print transferring through the computer.

   SM is horrible, don't write to it using anything but the camera, even erase or let the os update the 'last accessed' time. my ricoh rdc-4200 takes 16 meg sm cards.

   says CompactFlash Type I, CompactFlash Type II, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Pro Duo, Secure Digital, MultiMedia Card, xD-Picture Card are the lot.

   that's a heckuva camera.

   that looks like lead-glass strips. (with the lead 'H' bars in between, I.E., a version of 'stained glass' but clear.)

   Look at the gap on the left,at the bottom is a slight curvature,where a CD would slip into. Me thinks?

   Goodgotd - I'm using my Canon PowerShot A570 for these closeups. I used the Sony for most of the wallpaper that I made.

   copmom - It is a small world. How are the box potato pancakes? Any good?

   I don't use any special lens but I used the macro setting on the camera for this picture and several others. Some like the books on the shelf were just taken in auto mode.

    copmom - I thought you wanted a unit with a flatbed scanner and would do slides too. I can't see that in the specs of the HP C7280.

    I wish I could contribute some "what is it" pics. but any pics. taken with my cheap little 3 meg camera, in close up are so blurred their useless.So now am thinking of purchasing a new camera, many times I'll see a great shot,like the other day there was a hawk or a falcon perched in a tree in the backyard,so I took about 4 pics. and when D/L to comp.it was a unrecognizable speck.

    scuba - There's a site called the Generator Blog that you might enjoy. You do have to hunt and peck for the good ones though. :)

    jeeze, that too is a great cam. But way beyond any resource I can muster. the hp 517 is on the top edge of my maybe I can beg that much at 70.

    Beach Cameras has that for just under twice the price- 139 bucks free us shipping at http://www.beachcamera.com/shop/product.aspx?omid=108&ref=cnet&utm_source=CNET&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=CNPSA570&sku=CNPSA570

    if one can afford it, that's a great start.

    scubadude, have you tried using RESHADE (offered by GAOTD awhile back) to upsize an image (or part of an image) while retaining fairly decent clarity?

    i used media resizer pro instead of reshade, because it crops and enlarges at the same time. i was having trouble cropping pics for reshade.

    Funky, thanks for reminding me about Media Resizer Pro. Got that one, too - installed, never used, finally forgotten about. Hey, it still works! I'm thinking the packrat in me will need a terabyte hard drive soon.

    How about it, Scubadude? Didja get that one?

    funky - I don't know how much of an insult a "wart tossing butter strangler" is. But I think you are a "lard biting hamster nibbler". And I'm calling the SPCA about this habit of yours! :D

    Goodgotd - I paid $148 for the A50IS w/ a 2GB Kingston SD card back in December and it's $143.49 for the same deal now but I didn't have to pay the $9.95 shipping from Adorama. I'm thinking about getting the 52mm lens adapter and trying some of the closeup lenses and filters that I already have from film cameras.

    I inherited about 50 old cameras (Rollei, Kodak, Argus, Ziess, Minox, Voigtlander, & more) along with 100's of lenses/accessories. I've got to start getting rid of some of these. All they are doing is taking up space. I might keep a couple and try to learn how to use them.

    "Getting rid of"... by any chance, have you any (good) eBay experiences/anecdotes to share, or are all the complaints about their cockamamie rules and parasitical fee schedules true?

    I haven't sold anything on ebay...yet. I am considering it though. I'm sure all you've read about them are true. Just look at their forums. The regular sellers are complaining all the time.

    Gee.. I'm so far behind here, gotta play catch up!

    goodgotd: thanks for deciphering the smart card issue on that C7280 HP, like you said, I can just use the card reader on the computer. I don't use the smart card for anything BUT the camera, so wouldn't know how to write anything else to it.. DUH! I've got 2 16mg cards and one 64 mg. One's panorama. The printer price is lower than the link you gave me ... at the HP web site it's $239.99/free shipping.

    Maizey: here's the flatbed scanner specs:
    Real Life technologies:
    HP Adaptive Lighting, HP Auto Red-eye Removal, HP scratch and dust removal
    Scan:
    Scanner resolution
    Optical: Up to 4800 dpi
    Enhanced: Up to 19200 dpi
    Scanner bit depth
    48-bit
    Maximum document scan size
    8.5 x 11.7 in
    Scanner input type
    Flatbed, ADF

    My sister read me from her users manual about being able to do slides and negatives, and then I found the pdf file on the HP site and read the same thing for this model.
    and YES the boxed potato pancake mix is good, I get the Manischevitz (sp?) brand.

    scubaguy: Mine's only a 4.1 megapixel and it takes great shots. It's the one I used when I took those turkey pictures, sometimes I use zoom and sometimes not.

    Rune: Just tried RESHADE, but it doesn't allow me to crop anything.. just makes larger.

    Funky: I'd forgotten about media resizer too.. thanks for the reminder! That might just do what I need to be able to post some 'what is it's' here!! Will piddle around with it tomorrow.. it's later than I thought with changing the clocks ahead!

    RunesageMagik - Media Resizer Pro. came out on GAOTD 1/2/08 I found the site around the 12th.

    copmom - It do'es have digital zoom and still is poor,from what I understand,optical zoom is much better.

    digital zoom is a chimera. it simply uses less of the sensor area and interpolates. my hp has it, it's useless.

    goodgotd - not sure what you mean,all I know is it makes the pixels larger,which only gives you a blured pic.
