"Cat...why not use a laptop and a digital overhead projector?"
Good question! I have two laptops and no digital projector. So far I am still waiting for the prices to drop a little lower before I buy. When I buy one, it will be a good expensive one. Then I would have to convert all those slides.  Soon.... |

To all you lovely BBers..........I am still deciding. Wrote out a list of what I am looking for as suggested..........think all the camera stores in my area are going to put their "Closed" signs up when they see me coming

Clare, I honestly don't know for sure. I would have spoken with my sons, asking their advice. They both would have said, "leave the film camera at home", so I probably would have just taken the digital. I do like my Olympus 35mm though. It takes really great pics and I'm a really crappy photographer. |

Excellent! You are looking for a KODAK FUN SAVER Panoramic 35 Camera as far as I know they are still making them. It has a very wide angle lens and shoots wider than normal negatives. Kodak labs should be able to print them, and probably sell the cameras too. They are highly sought after cameras - people are reloading them with their own film and using them like a normal re-usable camera. Chris. |

After all the searching on the internet and all the fantastic advice, my husband surprised me with a Panasonic DMC-TZ1 on the weekend....think he was fed up with me going on and on about what to get
I had loads of fun going over all the functions and deleting all my errors  A big thank you to all for your advice, now all I have to do is go back and read all the tips on memory cards etc. |

Hi Brenda, are you practicing like mad with your camera? I have been trying all the different "modes" but think I did something wrong with the "starry night" one.............ended up with two moons
Thank goodness you can delete as you go. |

Scottie: I'm having such a good time with the camera, practising, deleting, etc. Now I just have to learn to link them up to my computer--that's the next step. I have the program and the cable, just need the nerve

Hi ClareS, It looks like the Kodak Panorama one time use camera was replaced by the Advantix dual format. The Fuji Panorama camera looks like a copy of the original Kodak Panorama and also shoots a wider than normal negative which is why you only get 15 shots on the roll. Either of these cameras would be a good option but you'd need to find a lab than can handle the odd size negatives. I think I'll try to take a couple of these with me as well, or buy them in London (might be a better option with the current security measures). The problem with a 35mm (equivalent) lens is that it's not actually very wide but it is what you get with most digitals. You can buy an extra wide angle adapter for most cameras which will get you to about 28mm equivalent. Digitals that do go to about 28mm wide angle won't work well with a wide angle adapter so there's no point buying one to try to go even wider. Unless it's specifically made to work with that camera you'll just get a distorted view with some heavy vignetting on the corners. I have a 28mm lens for my SLR, a wide angle adapter for my digital, and I'm _still_ considering picking up a couple of those panorama disposable cameras. Most panorama options on cameras simply crop the top and bottom of the image, but these actually use a wider piece of negative for each frame. Chris. |
