Nikon 995
I've decided to let go of my Nikon 995. Is it likely that anyone would actually want it, or
should it just go to electronic waste? -- croy |

You can put it on EBay,if it sells, it sells. Not enough involved to spend much time. BTW Several years ago I converted my old Coolpix to IR simply by taking out the IR filter. Having a ball with its incarnation. -- PeterN |

(in ): I've decided to let go of my Nikon 995. Is it likely that anyone would actually want it, As a 16 year old digital imaging oldie, there might be somebody who collects this kind of thing. However, I don’t think it is worth the effort of seeking that individual out, and I don’t believe you would get much more than $20-$40. or should it just go to electronic waste? I would drop it off at a charity thrift store, with all the documentation and accessories you have. That way a thrift store scrounger might discover it. The thrift store makes a sale, and you are rid of it without any guilt. -- Regards, Savageduck |

If they were really nice kids they would wait until you left before giggling and whipping out their iPhones. Actually, at the middle school in which one of my grandsons was on the Yearbook Committee of, they encourage the use of "real cameras". The teacher who heads up the program feels that the use of a dedicated camera makes the student feel he's "on assignment" instead of just doing something along the lines of social media. what rubbish. if that 'teacher' really wanted to teach kids, he'd teach them how to take awesome photos with whatever camera they want to use, not force them to use demonstrably ****tier cameras because for some bogus reason. he's out of touch with the real world and is likely jealous that his students have better phones and cameras than he does and can do more than he can. http://www.americanphotomag.com/phot...tagram-syria-s andy - Journalist Ben Lowy covered the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy with his phone. - Lowy had used his phone for his work before, for instance, documenting events in Libya during the summer of 2012. - Covering the Democratic Republic of Congo with his iPhones has given Michael Christopher Brown increased freedom and flexibility. - Early adopter Richard Koci Hernandez has been a camera-phone devotee since he started using the first iPhone (with its 2MP camera) to shoot assignments for the San Jose Mercury News. - Sports photographer Brad Mangin used an iPhone and Instagram for his baseball portraits, which later became part of a book. https://www.theverge.com/2013/6/1/43...s-cuts-entire- photography-staff-trains-reporters-iphone The Chicago Sun-Times this week laid off all 28 of its staff photographers, and has reportedly begun training its remaining reporters on "iPhone photography basics." Media journalist Robert Feder first reported the news in a post to his Facebook page Friday, citing an internal memo from Sun-Times managing editor Craig Newman. https://www.good.is/articles/where-have-all-the-photojournalists-gone In short, because it was receiving so many photo submissions via its user-generated iReport platform, CNN decided that it could afford to do away with 12 of its full-time photographers. The message at the root of the layoffs was big: In an age when anyone with an iPhone can tweet breaking news pictures, the photojournalist is going the way of the pterodactyl. https://www.kodakphones.com/photojournalism-smartphones-essential/ But as a journalist and film maker, he says the greatest value of smartphones is precisely that everyone has one, opening up possibilities to secure images and footage in places where the media is denied access. The subjects of the photographs react differently, too. They don't pay attention to phone photos because that's so everyday to them. which is normally a *good* thing and makes for better photos. |

I use a 995 for digiscoping and it is the best camera out there for that purpose. The one I have is broken. I would welcome having one that still works. Is it still available? email address is on my website mhmyers.com -- m-m www.mhmyers.com |
