lovely P&S update: I looked at four different stores today (which means 4/5 of the stores in this entire town) and nobody was selling an xD card for less than FIFTY loving DOLLARS, and gently caress that. I'm going to try to find my wife's old P&S xD card tomorrow, or failing that, ask the local buy & sell group for lovely old ones.

I'm like 90% sure I've got at least one old lovely XD card at home, but I'm on the road for the next week so I can't guarantee anything 'til then.

There's also one more store I can check but it's a pain in the rear end to get to it so I'll probably do it later in the week (still shippin' Friday if I can find an xD card before like, Thursday).

Good news, lovely camera wanters! Someone on the local buy & sell has a 16MB (yep) xD card that they're giving me for free, so I can pick that up tomorrow, shoot for a day or two, and get this poo poo moving.

BobTheCow posted:Should've brought a strobe Also this is by far the worst camera I have ever used, up to and including a Nikon F401x with the mirror smashed clean in half, and some eBay no-LCD camera that took one frame before corrupting its memory forever. It is worse than both of those. Deleting one photograph is 3 menu options deep. I mean I guess the point is that it's bad, but drat. (Still, thanks, whoever, for sending it!)

I just realized I don't have an xD reader that I can readily lay hands on, so I picked up a $7 USB reader on Amazon and I'll send that along with the camera.

That's really cool of you, since I just discovered that my only card reader that can read xD is also a tiny USB hub and I wasn't so much wanting to part with that, so if I can just send you the camera with no reader that's OK, and you'll throw yours in? (you're the one from SC who e-mailed me right?)

Yup. Just send the camera and card, I've got the reader to send along with it.

ExecuDork posted:Speaking of the downsides of digital, how about some PICTURES scanned from developed FILM by some Dorkroomers who have SHOT THE AE-1? Seriously just get walmart to scan it for you or something, it's not even expensive. It is sort of amusing that we've largely overcome the logistical challenges of sending cameras and locks and card readers over half a continent, but we can't get people to post photos in a photography forum.

 A BOX HAS ARRIVED FOR ME However, in typical campus mail fashion, it was delivered to a different building. I'll be collecting it this afternoon!

I consider myself the Great Procrastinator but I reckon even I could do better. Get that thing over to Europe so we can show you lazy Americans how it's done. I'm talking photos of old buildings and Germans drinking beer.

Well Finland is ready to receive the camera. And I'll promise to get it moving in 1-2 weeks after receiving it. Don't know yet what's coming up but we'll see when it comes here (I have my own scanner so I actually can scan the photos and post them).

Was there a list of people willing to take the camera anywhere? With locations? I suppose I could take it around Stockholm some, but I'd rather let someone else i EU have it before me. (Would it be okay to supplant the camera with my own FD system accessories? I have two thyristor-auto flashes. If one fits I could even add it to the box.)
