Quicktake 150

Man oh man, that is awesome!
This is bringing back so many memories of the first Olympus my dad brought home a little after the Quicktake came out. Those pictures are ridiculous when compared to what a common mobile phone can accomplish, but not without their own distinct charm.
You ever wonder if years from now people will use older digital cameras to evoke a certain era or style of composition?

Yeh, it would be funny to see some of the popular iOS apps like Camera+ or Instagram add a "QuickTake" filter. As if I don't feel old enough as it is. The other day I was sorting through some old photos when my 8 year old happened upon a stack of 35 mm negatives. He asked me what they were. Jeez. I had to explain to him that "back in the day", we didn't have digital cameras and then went on to explain what negatives were.
Imagining the QuickTake "look" being considered a vintage effect isn't helping me feel any younger.

I have a request!
Can you take a picture of a nice twilight hour pink skyline and post it for me? I think it would make a resolution and period appropriate desktop picture for my PPC. Plus I want to post it on my twitter feed, instagram, facebook, myspace, trendy coffeeshop, etc.
Damn there's no PPC smiley. I'll have to use some kind of synthesis.

I'll try , I'm not really a big photography maker/fan but I just love the form factor of the Quicktake 150, so I can't guarantee I'll make a succesfull picture!
Anyways today we went to bruges and I took my quicktake with me, I made some pictures on the lowest quality setting:
This one I like , almost a painting:

These are perfect! Thank you very much.
I was of course kidding about distributing these, but if I ever feel the desire do I have your permission?

Not too long ago, about a year ago....I guess the twins were 7 too... they spotted my Star Wars VHS trilogy up on the shelf. They're huge fans of Star Wars, but they've only ever seen DVDs. I replaced all our VHS tapes with DVDs when they were toddlers. I kept the Star Wars ones because I figured they'd be collectible. Anyway, I brought it down from the shelf and showed it to them. The faces they made were classic. Similar to the face my son made when I showed him we used to only have 1 color....green:

Sure thing
sweet, so this is the image quality I'll be looking forward to with the one I picked up not too long ago... the PB180 is running so I have something to put the software on(assuming it'll run on that?) even better I still have my B&W quickcam. Owned from new, used it to video chat with my parents when I went to college using CU-SeeMe via my Powerbook 160 (parents were using a PB 540c) 
Edit: note, before the quicktake even came out I had already gotten to play with a 4MP camera (Leaf DCB I).
