Camera Suggestions....please.....

[Snipped Text] So I am going to ask for input on cameras which meet the following: 1) MUST IMPRINT BOTH TIME and DATE on the photo AND MUST be a CAMERA BASED FUNCTION, no extra step software using EXIF data. Must be a hardware function of the camera. 2) SD card format 3) Min. 4MP 4) 3x Minimum OPTICAL zoom (digital zoom is irrelevant, its use is expressly prohibited from use in this task.) Finding ones that do #1 has proven tough for many of the field users. Some will do date, but not time, or neither. These are going to be used alot, and they can not be some $999+ unit either. Comments suggestions, please. I've just checked a file from my Panasonic Lumix FZ7, in iPhoto the info box shows date, time, resolution, file size and type. It has an SD card slot, 6MP, and has a 12x optical zoom. It cost me £241 over here in the UK, so about $300 or so over there I guess. I would say that exceeds your requirements quite easily. -- Andy Hewitt http://www.thehewitts.eclipse.co.uk/Home.html |

That would be the exif data. Most any digital camera that uses Jpeg will do this (and many others as well). But since the OP specificly required the date and time be imprinted on the image and not be using exif data, this wouldn't fit the requirements. Randy ========== Randy Berbaum Champaign, IL |

After all, there are plenty of apps that'll read the EXIF data. Another option might be to look at a Digital camcorder, they usually date and time stamp, and usually take stills. -- Andy Hewitt http://www.thehewitts.eclipse.co.uk/Home.html |
