Enough crown and I wont need anything but ice [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

We purchased a Cannon Powershot 110 a few years ago. It takes pictures and movies. We had a more expensive and larger digital camera before that one and never took it out. We take this one riding when we think about it. It uses compact flash cards.

I'm sure there's a later model out now, but we like the one we have now. It's convenient to use.

 

I have a HP945, hard to use & with zoom scrared to bring out in the sand

 

Went to Tahuya today for the first time. Parked at the gravel pit area - perfect for the kids. Josh's girls practiced on their new Kazuma's and Ricky was tearing it up on the 90 - the little booger figured out how to shift into second because first was too slow!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Michael and I went for a ride on Salmon trail (didn't see any in the creek under the bridge) but then turned off on a logging (?) road and saw a bunch in the water running down the ditch at the side of the road. We stopped the quads and walked along checking out the spawing salmon. It was so cool! We were just right there next to them. Course, I didn't have the camera with me because of all the puddles we were going through. Darn!

The rain held off til we were on the way home. It was great! We could go into the trailer to warm up and eat. We made coffee and cocoa. Just a neat day!

No one got too hurt - Michael and a Z400 ran into each other, and Mariah rolled her quad down a hill, but no real harm done.

We race again next Sunday - would love to see our friends there - remember, we have a warm trailer. Hopefully, it won't be another mudfest, but if it is, oh well!

 

I have 2 Sony's, A Mavica FD92, 16 power zoom and an add-on wide angle lense that is to big to take anywhere other than near the car. and a Sony cybershot P-1. with a 6 power zoom (you used it to take a picture of me on my hill) I like the P-1, It has a metal case
Both use a memory stick, the mavica also uses a floppy. Both take movies (limited to 15 sec. max)

I suggest when shopping, Look at the battery and how to charge it (I have a spare and an aftermarket charger that works in the car) and the shutter speed. My cameras are 3-4 year old technology, and I cannot get fast shots. (Moving quads you have to guess where they will be!) I've never worried about having the most pixals unless you are planning on real professional quality pictures.

BUT........I also just found a P-1 on e-bay for $150 for a friend, and like mine, if I crush it or loose it while having FUN, I won't cry to much

Oh well, just my 2 cents worth

 

Cle Elum ride,

I agree with what you guys said. We'll see what time we get there and the weather and figure out what to do. I agree on all the thoughts of riding the good trails vs the roads. The bottom line is we are going to ride and have fun in the snow, with fellow riders. Don't get much better than that, unless the whole family is there to ride.

It only takes me about 1-3/4 hours to get to Cle Elum from my house, but what will take up some time is getting everybody together. I'll work on getting off at 6:00. Keep ya all posted.

I'll also throw in my stuff to heat up water, soup, or whatever for lunch. Along with propane heater.

Now the big decision.......... Which quad to take.........The Foreman or the Rincon?????

Edit.
Oooops, when I read the post back, it hit me in the head so hard I fell out of my chair..What was I thinking........... The Rinny has the winch, the Foreman doesn't... Guess the Rinny is going..

 

Hey nwcutie, How is Michael? I was the one ridding the Z400 when we collided. We also saw the salmon in the ditch today. Hope he is ok.

Larry, We have 2 digital cameras. A Panasonic DMC-LC33 has 3X optical and 3X digital zoom, total 9X. Takes movies with sound and a year and a half ago paid about $400. The other is Olympus C-740 with 10X optical zoom and 3X digital zoom, total 30X (wow). Takes movies, but no sound. I understand that the new model has sound. The Olympus cost $550 2 years ago and they have gotten cheaper. The optical zoom is great as anymore than 3X digital zoom gives very grainy pictures, The Panasonic is the 19 year old daughters and she loves it. She rarely shoots telephoto shots. Whereas my wife's Olympus is used for the long shots all the time. She's a shooter of the country side. We bought the 256K cards for both as the 512K seemed over kill (very expensive). The 256 card will take over 500 pics. Even I can use them and take decent pics with either camera, both are everything auto including focus. Both are small enough to fit in a fanny pack and use AAA batteries that we have 12 spare rechargable batteries for and a charger with both AC and DC so you can charge the batteries in the car or truck. Oh yeah, the movies are limited to 15 seconds, but once you down load them you can edit then together.

 

Ok, Ok, I got drunk enough Saturday night that the pain in the A$$ went away pretty much.

Mark, you must have been pretty bored to go looking up that post I made last April. It was pretty funny though. Im gonna buy 2 or 3 of them there throttle housings this time. I should have stayed with the Honda. I never broke nuttin on it. That fruggin Raptor is just too squirrely for an old man like me.

Actually the sore back side was about 90% better this morning and I dont think I broke anything. But for a bit yesterday, I was wondering just what the heck I did. Had it hurt today like it did yesterday, Id ave been getting me some x-rays.

I might have to go to a twist throttle just to keep from breaking them thumb ones off.

At least one of my RINO 120s goes with me everytime I go out on the quad, even locally. I can always get home that way. So yes, I will probaly have both of them with me. If you ask real nice I might even let you use it.
