ironmani Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 So I had save up some money and has some gift checks and store credit at a camera store (Really nice pro shop one!) and I go down there yesterday to get a camera. I was going to get the FujiFilm FinePix S3000, but they were sold out and I was sad. But they had the S5000, so my wife spotted me the extra hundred bucks I needed and I was able to get a nice $400 dollar camera for $218, after all my credit and gift check. Score!!!!!!! Here are the stats 10x Fujinon Optical Zoom 6.0 million recording Pixels; 3.1 Million Effective Pixels 4th Gen Super CCD HR QVGA-Quality (30fps) Movie recording with sound TTL contrast multi-zone auto, center point auto, focus lock, continuous auto focus (C-AF), manual focus, AF assist illuminator Shooting modes: Auto, Exposure Combination, Macro, Movie Plus the manual says that it can computer color pictures to make them Black and White!!!!!! How cool is that!!!!!!! I cant wait to start taking pics of my minis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an old USB Imation Super Disk (120MB floppy) and when I hook it up to my comp .. in addition to my Floppy A ... XP reads a Floppy B and a mystery Floppy F.

squidders Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I got a Fuji F601 zoom camera a while ago and still haven't managed to find the ideal distance from the lense for minis... tried everything, macro settings, flash, no flash, lighting, sunlight... plain background... fussy background. I hope they fixed it with the model you have Could you post some results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
