Re: [LM_NET] Digital cameras

[Janice Askew <jma0525@EARTHLINK.NET>]

I use a Mavica with a memory stick in my school.  I have one computer
that is used for uploading photos from the camera.  Then I send the
pics to the person who wants them using our server.

Another cool thing about the Mavica FD200 is that you can view a photo
that you've already taken and zoom in on the shot thereby creating an
enlargement or a close-up cropped photo, and then click the shutter
button and -- voila! you have a new photo.    I experimented with a
friend's Easy Share, and it would not allow the user to take another
pic of the close-up view.
