Thanks for advice re digital cameras, Bruce Johnson, Clark Martin, Tim, Thomas Keller, Dan S, Chris ... I am reminded that serial is very slow, am assured that USB on a card will likely be fine, am advised that I am likely to get a better camera at more than 1 MP (though I don't need more - but maybe this the price of getting a better quality lens. Thomas says "...IMO, any camera with less than 3MP isn't really worth the asking price" even though I would like a fine quality lens, 1 MP, no LCD (surplus to my requirements and potentially costly for no reason of mine - I have high quality film cameras in use for print work (and I do already scan for computer monitor viewing). Will go to the web site suggested ....
Date: Fri, 03 Oct 2003 11:39:23 +1000 Subject: digital cameras for PCI Macs From: David Elmo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the specs for some camera it says things like "built in USB ports only supported" when supported for Macs. I take it that a PCI USB card is not this. But I am confident that some of you operate digital cameras with such cards or other cards (firewire?). What have folk got? (appreciate not general info but specific... brands etc) I have a 7300 and 7600 (and a USB card I have never used). I believe there was a Kodak camera (DX-240) with serial connector (for printer or modem port) - some come up on eBay, anyone have any experience. I want for web only, but must be sharp lens not like the very very poor tethered Connectix web cam I have. Appreciate any advice re cameras from folk who understand the difference between lens sharpness and ccd capacity (I'm little interested in the latter beyond enough to more or less fill a normal mac monitor, 1.3 MP is fine) -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
