S: Lost my $450 digicam

[ski]

I MAY have had it coming to me, since it's the Pentax Optio S (fits in an altoids container, easy to lose), but I lost that and the memory card inside. Crap. :(

If you lose something, do you ever replace it with the exact same one? Like, dropping the current price of around $350 and a week later, it's like nothing happened.

There's a Kyocera camera that I need to find the link to... was just released at CES :)

Only $330 (http://www.digitalfotoclub.com/sc/main_item.asp?id=964589871&rf=pg&dfdate=01_30_2004) shipped from here... hmph

Or $330 after rebate (http://ww1.onecall.com/PID_20950.htm) for the upgraded 4MP Optio S4 ... decisions, decisions!!!

Or this new Canon for $330 shipped (http://ww1.onecall.com/PID_21342.htm) SD10, but doesn't fit in Altoids container :P ahhhhh

We got the optio s4 for 330 without rebates. Included shipping too also. Nice. We just can't get our photo printer to print correctly. It prints wonderfully but it's not printing the whole image when trying to use 4x6 photo paper.

If you got the bug bucks you can get the Sony DSC-T1. 500 dollahs!!!

You can't print the enttire picture because your camera saves the image in a 4:3 ratio. most point and shoot dig camera saves in this format. 35mm is a 3*2 ratio. Some P&S and all dSLR saves in a 3*2 ratio.

If you are not happy with your Printers automatic crop, you can try to crop a 3*2 ratio in photoshop or something, so you know what prints out

Also if i lose it and insurance isn;t covering it, and you have the money, always upgrade :D

I want a digital camera that fits in an altoids box....

I have one that I found right outside of 31 Spooner Street that I'll let you have for cheap...

All you can really do is keep an eye out for a thread titled:

"NSS: Found a $450 digicam"
