- Built in flashes on are just
adequate at best. Be prepared to do a bunch of editing.
- Some cameras can accept external flashes, but most
don’t.
- Flash locations on the camera are great for making
red eyes – good thing we can edit the pix.
- Flash pictures eat batteries! |
- Get more than one set. The
batteries will die at the most critical time (Murphy’s Law).
- NiMH or Li Ion batteries for rechargeable. No NiCads
- I think using AA or AAA type batteries is a big plus – can use
alkalines in a pinch (but they won’t last long), NiMH rechargables in
these sizes are common.
- A fast (1 hr) charger is a great convenience!
- Make sure the charge automatically prevents overcharging. |
- USB is much faster than
serial.
- Get a card reader – you don’t have to rely on camera batteries
(unless you have bought an AC adapter ($$)) and special software. The
things just look like a removable drive.
