    Carolyn:
        Do you feel the disc cameras are more advantageous than let's say the
    Advantix camera....which has the pop in film cartridges...no manual
    winding...film is self-contained from start to finish...also, with the
    Advantix you have the choice of the panoramic view pictures along with the
    traditional zoom in closeups and zoom out features?
        Sounds, though, like a disc is great when you are using it for the
    purposes we do as art teachers....Neat!

    > I have been using digital cameras for 2 or 3 years and I bought a Sony
    > Mavica 83 (I think...it's the one with the movie capabilities).
    >
    > I have been using cameras for a number of years...and I find that I do not
    > even use my Canon camera (my NICE camera) any more.
    >
    > I love the ease of taking a box of disks with me when I go somewhere. I
    can
    > fill up the disk, pop another one in and keep on going. I ended up taking
    > digital images of an entire art show...came home, popped the disks in the
    > computer, cleaned up the edges, and created a Power Point show for my
    > students in just a matter of a short time. WONDERFUL!
    >
    > Another thing that is so good about the Sony that I got...is that the
    image
    > I take is about 17"x22" or something similar...and then when I reduce it
    to
    > a smaller size...and print on photo paper, you can NOT tell it was taken
    > with a digital camera.
    >
    > I use it in my classroom...we take photos of each student on their own
    disk
    > for them to use to manipulate using graphic software. It's so easy to pop
    > each disk in...take the photo...put in another disk...and so on.
    > We also use this camera to take a 5 sec video of students introducing
    their
    > Power Point presentations...for whatever class they're taking. It's so
    easy
    > for each student to bring their disk...take the image of them introducing
    > their presentation...giving them the disk and they're "on their way".
    > It's the best I've seen....and I paid about $650 for mine.
