Heck, that was my *old* camera!


I used the macro mode, and stayed at or beyond the minimum focus
distance for that camera (important). Some folks forget that part.

My old camera was a 3 Megapixel camera Olympus D-550 Camedia.

It was about $350 or more after getting the 128MB memory card, and the
rechargeable power cell setup.

My new camera was $250 and is a 6 Megapixel array, and has much better
designed in macro features. It is (not really so new) the Olympus model
SP-500UZ. It has a nice 1GB memory card in it.

Amazing how the Electronics Industry holds to the American Dream so
well. Everything gets better and better, and yet cheaper and cheaper
(cost wise).

Now if only the greedy landlords and oil companies, and our power
"providers" could chill on how much they suck out of our wallets.
They've got enough that they could keep the prices the same for ten years
and they'd still be making money.

It's not "greedy" landlords, "greedy" corporations, or even "greedy" oil
companies that are sucking the life out of the US - it's the _insatiable_
bureaucracy that needs to be stopped.

Did you know that the Federal Government collects more of your money per
gallon of gasoline than even the oil compaines get?

Almost twice as much, according to these resources:
