So, I finally went out and bought a digital camera, and I'm dying to try it out. So, for your enjoyment, here's the lovely little shoebox that I live in.

Yay for dorms!

You could use some furniture.

And walls.

Which dorm is that? Looks like the six-pack.

This was mine freshman year.

I'm in FAR, Oglesby. And unless I'm mistaken, that is a picture of ISR.

And sorry about the link not working. Geocities are bandwidth *****.

Was it the dirty dishes, the unkempt bed, or the crowded desk that tipped you off?

Thanks, Captain Obvious!

It was the brown sweat stain on the sheets you haven't washed in three months, buddy-boy. You know that chicks don't particularly dig dudes whose idea of cleaning up consists of shoving old pizza boxes on top of dirty sweat socks piled in the corner, right?

Just updated the URL in the OP so that it works. Try again and see the dismal conditions that us college students live in.

And I changed my sheets last week. They're not that smelly yet!

Wow, that's a large dorm room... my ex's room a couple years ago was about 9ish feet long and 7 - 8ish wide.

That's one of my good friends. It's crazy when he speaks Indian to his parents on the phone, because I'm sure he's talking about me.

What kind of camera did you get anyway?

I've been thinking about getting a digital but I'm not sold on the idea. Unless I can get one that will crank off 4x6's that are identical to the ones coming from my SLR, I don't see the point in it. I know you can get photos printed on photographic paper (well, not the same as "real" photo paper obviously since it'd lack the same emulsion) at those little Kodak booths in every drugstore but I'm still not convinced I'd rather preserve my precious moments in life that way versus the traditional route.

For me the argument for digital is quantity. I try to take a gazillion pictures with my digital. Sometimes I'll get something 4 or 5 times just to find the best angle later. Or you never know when you'll capture something that will hold some significance 50 years down the road in the background. Storage Media is cheap. You can hold allot of pictures on one DVD.

Sony's got a 5MP camera out for around $300. I can't recall the model #, but I borrowed one from a bud and it took excellent pics.

I was well pleased with the quality of them. Better than my crappy 35mm by far. I actually got the photos developed at Walmart. Their little photo station for digital cameras is pretty functional. I picked and chose the photos I wanted, sizes and quantities. Came back the next day and got em, since 8x10s take longer than the 1 hour thing they state.

Call me a traditionalist, but I feel better having photos I can hold than stuff on some storage media that may or may not be obsolete in two years. You can store a lot of text files on a 5.25" floppy, but I wouldn't recommend it over good ole fashioned paper Smiley: wink

Anyway, whether on film or disc, when I do go to put them on paper, I don't want my digital ones to look like.. well, like they were done on a computer. I'm sure that there's digital solutions to give perfectly photo-accurate prints but I need to find something affordable.

Unless I can get one that will crank off 4x6's that are identical to the ones coming from my SLR, I don't see the point in it.

I have a Canon Rebel G, and my 300 dollar digicam has the same quality for 4x6's, and it's pretty close on 8x10's. For most decent digital cameras, the limiting quality factor is the printer printing out the picture, not the camera itself.

I know you can get photos printed on photographic paper (well, not the same as "real" photo paper obviously since it'd lack the same emulsion) at those little Kodak booths in every drugstore but I'm still not convinced I'd rather preserve my precious moments in life that way versus the traditional route.

Here's where I say digital is better and worse. The ink and paper used make a big difference when printing your digital pic, the ink could eventually run/fade/burst into flames (well, maybe not the last one).

However, that happens to traditional photographs over time as well. With digital pics, you just whip out your DVD as xythex so astutely pointed out and print you up a fresh copy.

This is Canon's prosumer entry into the digital forray, and it'll get the job more than done for anyone except professional photographers (i.e. guys and gals who don't blink at dropping 20k on a lens).

Here's my preferred site for digital camera reviews:

http://www.dpreview.com/

Almost any "photo printer" will do. Some are better at some things (large format, cd-printing capabilities, etc.) than others. I personally prefer Epsons for photo printers.

I'm kinda with you, Joph. I like to have actual paper pictures to put in my album. But I also like the ease of a digital camera. Just take the pic and it's on your computer in seconds. I've used some of the online printing sites (Yahoo, Snapfish) and had some nice results from them. Quality is good and the price isn't bad either. I usually have some of my better digital pics printed out at one of those places.
