6/12    To whoever posted about the digital Rollei camera, my Dad:
        "what were they thinking of?  That us old geezers have so much
         money we can't stand to keep any of it?  The old Rollie's were
         good for a lot of things, but not particularly for portraits.
         It's like a little kid taking pictures of adults; lots of
         pictures of looking up nostrils.
         For a selling point, they missed a good one.  The picture of the
         flag raising at IwoJima was taken with a Rollei."
        \_ I agree w/ your father. I think that it is strange that Rollei
           (of all companies) would come out with a "cute" camera. A
           decent digital camera w/ a CMOS sensor would be more what I
           would expect from them.

3/7     Does anyone else think the iPad3 isn't really that much better
        than the iPad2?  I don't really understand the hype.

           (plus a 1MP focus-free one on the front.)

9/28    A lot of photos I take come out blurry. A lot of them are clear,
        too, but the proportion of blurry photos is high. This has led me
        to take more photos than I otherwise would in hopes of getting a
        clear one. I took some photos of the Rio grande and they
        were all awesome, but the next day I took photos of landscapes
        and almost all of them were blurry. Could it be the camera or is

4/8     I want to by my mom a point and shoot camera for about $150 because
        she's running around with this 1 megapixel camera from back in the
        day. I looked at Canon and Nikon, but I am not as into this stuff as
        some people on MOTD are. I take photos with my Blackberry. What's
        a good choice in that price range? Definitely not more than $200.
        \_ Canon has the best point and shoot cameras.  The A1100 or A495

html Products Rolleiflex MiniDigi *World's first camera of this type with LCD monitor and SD card memory Be Honest. The Rolleiflex MiniDigi Proudly Continues The Rollei Twin Lens Reflex Tradition. If somewhere deep down you have always hankered after a Rollei, you are not alone. First developed in Germany in the 1920's, the Rollei 6x6cm Twin Lens Reflex Camera has always been a preferred tool for serious photography, especially portraits. There cannot be, for example, a single Hollywood celebrity who has not been photographed with a Rollei. NEW Rolleiflex MiniDigi MiniDigi Now, many of the outstanding convenience features and nostalgic design can be yours in a fashionable up-to-date digital. LCD Square Format in The True Rollei Tradition A major attraction of the Rollei 6x6cm has always been its square frame format. No shutter opportunity, no valuable seconds are lost by having to choose between horizontal or vertical position. One card (MMC size) is included with the camera, additional cards are easily available everywhere. MiniDigi Waist Level Viewfinder with Pop-up Hood Again, just like with the original, you hold the camera at waist level and look downward into the viewfinder. To keep out stray light, the viewfinder hood pops up at a touch. This is true for grown-ups but also goes for small children and even animals. With this type of viewfinder, you can also hold the camera very low or even place it on the ground when the shot requires that. Crank Action Gets It Ready for The Next Shot Crank Action Just like the original Rollei, the MiniDigi has a 'film advance' crank lever on its side. Although it uses no film, a turn of this crank readies the camera for the next shot. Another detail reminiscent of the famous original Rolleiflex. carrying strap A Fashion Accessory, Too Beside being a fully functional digital camera, the Rolleiflex MiniDigi with its many traditional, nostalgic elements of styling, will quickly become one of your prized fashion accessories. Small and light enough to be carried in any pocket or purse, it can also dangle from your neck or wrist by its carrying strap. Always with you, and always attractive -- the Rolleiflex MiniDigi. pocket or purse Rolleiflex MiniDigi Video Clip with Audio To view the video clip, you will need to have installed on your computer either Windows Media Player or Quick Time.
