There's currently an AE-1 w/50mm lens on ebay for $30. If I didn't just buy an EOS-3, I Would pick it up.

I more meant in terms of eliminating the delays involved in people never processing the film, never scanning the film, taking weeks to post an actual image, etc. We'd still get to see the world (other than NYC, you had your chance), just... a bit faster. Would anybody be down for this if I picked up some terrible digital P&S somewhere for cheap?

I actually just discovered an olympus xa2 buried at the bottom of a backpack. I won't be too bothered if it disappears forever, and it might be a fun second camera to send around. If someone wants to pm me their address, I can send it somewhere. Edit: not digital obviously, but I already have it so that's something

Yeah I'm sure someone here will have an old P&S they don't mind sending around. I had a 6MP Kodak from like 2007 that still works fine and I totally would have used for this, but I left it in Australia

Yeah I'd really prefer something that takes AA or AAA batteries, so nobody gets a lovely battery / loses the charger / etc. Also I'll take it first if there are no objections, and also  myself to get it sent out again within ten days of receiving it, or I will probate myself for six hours (on a clean rapsheet) with a (worksafe) reason of the sender's choosing.

8th-samurai posted:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Newest-Pink...=item4164177b92 And yet a cell phone camera from 10 years ago would probably be better. How about finding one of those early digital cameras that take floppies for storage, instead? (I have a camera that's probably electrically identical to that toy in the link. It cost me a total of 10 SEK, less than $2. It's not even worth that.) EtA: I suppose I could go send that one out about in Europe, but on the other hand I'm not sure I want to inflict the horror of the transfer software on others. It isn't just USB mass storage. nielsm fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Feb 17, 2013 |

If you don't have a floppy drive somewhere in your household, you are too young. Also your house sucks, I have like 5 working ones. Edit: Better yet alongside the camera, could just ship a floppy drive with it. Zalgo fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Feb 18, 2013 |

My mom until literally this year still used floppy disks to do all of her work. I thought she'd give up when they stopped building computers with them built-in, but no, she just bought an external drive. Finally she was forced to change when she began to use powerpoint, which made her files larger than 1.4 megabytes.

Mr. Despair and Zalgo: Pictures look great, awesome! PM sent to Mr. Despair with Tumblr email address. Feel free to share with Zalgo. I am totally on-board with a terrible digicam going around the world, and barfing images into this thread (and the tumblr). Let's do this.

One thing I've noticed is that the tumblr not only had a limit of 10mb for each email, but also a limit of four separate photos too. So my giant spam of images wound up only having 8 show up, instead of ~20. I'll spread the rest out over the next month or so as other people upload stuff, but it's something to keep in mind!

The terridigicam is at the post office ready waiting to be shipped out with a fresh set of AA batteries. I just shoved it with some packing into a cardboard box so hopefully it lasts its long hike to the West Coast.

I'll try to find some nice case/box for it that people can vandalize with dickbutt or what the hell ever. Then try to find some place local who still sells xD cards in TYOOLASJC 2013.

Wouldn't it make sense to keep track of the camera's voyage with a google map? And maybe add the location to the latest batch on the tumblr. EDIT: I was bored anyway, so I added "the story so far" to a map. It's not listed, but everyone can edit it for now. Feel free to do so. https://maps.google.de/maps/ms?msid=217751710654944446592.0004d631a792530969002&msa=0&ll=38.754083,-111.181641&spn=49.5628,114.169922 Frost fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Feb 21, 2013 |
