A digital camera. Now, she hasn't started this thread yet, so I'll assume she's either forgotten or is too modest to ask for a favor. But I post this out of complete self-interest.

You see, she's going to Spain, and I want pictures. And I know she's busy, and if she uses a regular camera, she will most probably not scan, upload and post them. Besides, she doesn't even have a regular camera. And I need pictures. Really, I do.

So*, here's my plea: if anyone has an old digital camera, unused since you got a new one, please, offer it to Katie. She's not particular; it doesn't have to have great definition, and point-and-click is perfect. Just something she can use to record her trip and make sure Hatrack gets to share it with her.

Do any of you wonderful people have a camera that fits the bill?

Katie has no camera and no one cares? [Cry]

Posted by punwit (Member # 6388) on :

I care but I only own one digital camera and I'm too selfish to give it up. Wishing Katie luck in finding a freebie and a most wonderful excursion.

See, that's what we're looking for. You can contribute good luck vibes here even if you don't have a camera to give her. [Smile]

No. I don't honestly give a rip.

But she'll get them developed eventually, at which time she can pay the extra $2 to have them put onto a CD. Voila. Pictures are on the interweb.

Ahhh, trips! I took a week long trip to Italy in April two years ago and it was great. It would have been even better but I went with a friend who constantly tried to improve me the whole trip. I've been imagining the fun of taking the trip to Spain with you. I won't do that, of course.

However, I did get a new digital camera for my trip to Italy. It's a Nikon coolpix 4300 which is a 4megapixel camera. It takes great pics, is easy to use. Just leaving it on auto works great and there are options for nighttime or museum (flashless) pictures and so on. I got it with all the stuff I'd need for a weeklong trip to Europe like a large 512 MB memory card, extra batteries, etc. I got great pictures.

I certainly can't give up my camera. I'm thinking digital is new enough that most Hatrack people aren't ready to give up their first camera this soon. However, my camera DOES like traveling so I'd be happy to have you borrow it for a month or so. Play with it a couple weeks beforehand, take it to Spain etc, then upload the pics somehow (not sure the best way yet, maybe a camera store would help you put them on a CD?) and then give the camera and parts back to me.

Look, Katie! Theca will loan you a camera! [Big Grin]

(((Theca))) You're a sweetie Theca. [Smile]

Theca is one of the most generous and considerate people I know. I still remember how she loaned us sweaters out of her car when we all had to leave the motel in the middle of the night due to a fire alarm while at KamaCon.

Then what was the point in posting?

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Oh, no way!

You guys are so incredibly darling. [Smile]

KQ, thank you for making this thread. I was indeed reluctant. And thank you, Theca, for the offer to loan it. I will take very, very good care of it, and get lots of pictures of Hatrackers. Oh my goodness. [Smile]

We aren't going until September, but I'll e-mail before then, and we can arrange. Y'all are so sweet to me. Thank you! [Smile]

Posted by Theca (Member # 1629) on :

It'd be nice to have hatrackers' pictures taken on my camera. I was too shy at Kamacon to even pull the camera out of my bag. [Frown]

I would ask you to erase this thread and we can discuss the details quietly later this summer except that I suppose it is possible someone might be ready to donate a camera for keeps and from Kat's POV that would perhaps be better than just getting to borrow a camera. Even though my camera is really good (for ameteurs like us anyway). So you might as well keep the thread active.

You COULD take my name out of the title though, please? [Smile]

Theca, too shy to take pictures? We're gonna have to break you of that!

And what's wrong with being a good sharer? [Kiss]
