Why don't you just take their pictures and e-mail them the pictures?

Does anyone know a source of low capacity CF and/or SD cards; by low capacity, I mean 128-256-512mb. I would like to start a project in which I take pictures of railroad museum visitors who have forgotten their cameras and just give them the memory card. I may or may not give them a stamped self-addressed envelope to return the sards once they have uploaded the pictures. But, if I can make a bulk purchase, that really won't matter. I would be putting just a few jps's on each card, so I don't need - and cannot afford large capacity cards.
There is a sinking feeling when parents bring in a five year old child and he/she gets to sit in the Engineer's seat of a real - and REALLY BIG - locomotive - and the parents forgot to bring a camera, their batteries are dead, etc.
As I said, I don't care if I get my card or my money back, but, being on a small fixed income, I can't afford regular capacity cards.
Thank you.

how about House and senate dems refusing any attempt at bi partisian compromise with W? Holding up his judicial nominees, stalling on legislation, in short having a temper tantrum cause W beat both Al Gore and John Kerry fair and square. PAYBACKS ARE A BITCH!
Fair and Square? Look what happened in Florida!!! You think that was fair and square?????????

Considering the state of our economy, I personally feel any voter would be a MORON if he voted for an incumbent, ANY incumbent! Regardless of the BS advertising! Sending anyone back to office that has already proven they cannot do any good for the country is just entirely pointless!
I totally agree with you MT. Vote them all out and that would be the beginning of turning this country around.
Just listen to Rush, what a negative person he is. He is the one that stirs up the pot. Now thats a real sad person

This is just my opinion but seeing all the negative campaign ads, coupled with the 24/7 talking heads aligning behind their candidates bringing the negative message of the opponent rather than the positive message of the candidate which they support... has lead me to believe that there is a new science in politics... the science of turning out the base through fear of the other rather than support for the party's candidate...
I really believe that the campaigns and the pundits that support them are more interested in voter turn out than they are in seeking support for their candidate's message and vision, I think that they have decided that the undecided are heavily outnumbered by those who may choose to sit at home on election day, and because of that they are using fear of the future to motivate those people to make the effort to vote. The negative campaigns I feel change few minds, but the fear that they instill in the respective bases is what the campaigns are trying to achieve as it may greatly increase voter turn out.
This is all just an my opinion, but if this is true, politics will only become uglier and uglier as time goes on. Instead of having frank and intelligent policy discussions politics is degenerating into fear mongering and serving to only further polarize our nation... I wonder where it all ends up and just how destructive it may be for our country... I am sure that we have seen this before, but never with the penetration that we have today with the amount of media dissemination that we have today with all the cable outlets and online media sites... if the polarization were to get worse in this country would we actually see pockets of violence arising from it? We are already seeing youth violence both in attacks on individuals, and in flash mobs doing as they please, will such acts spread into the political landscape as well?

Hey DJ, that was pretty good.

Yeah, we might have a miserable bunch of lying bastards for leaders but there's a lot of miserable lying bastards out there leading a lot of other countries. There's a lot wrong with America but there's a lot right. You tell me why so many people south of us are wanting to be here that they do it illegally? Try doing that in Mexico.

Sometimes the price goes up if they give you free shipping.

I am wondering what it is with Amazon. The other day I looked up a Yongnuo YN-565EX and the price was $140.44, today it went to order it and it jumped to $154.26. This has happened to me before on other items and then they come back down, sometimes cheaper. I would like to know how they fix their pricing policys. Guess I'll wait and see if it comes back down.
I do it in my Sony hx5v. Very easy. I like it.

I used to use the free Canon program to make panoramas, but I recently got a Sony DSC-WX9 refurb that does in-camera panos. It can make them in landscape or portrait mode. I push the shutter button, rotate, and the camera captures the scene and closes the shutter after about 180 degrees.
Have any of you done in-camera pano? I figure it would be a real challenge to do an HDR pano that way.
This one makes so much "common sense"
An Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely Dead Brilliant!!
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: - Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm; - Life isn't always fair; - And maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death, -by his parents, Truth and Trust, -by his wife, Discretion, -by his daughter, Responsibility, -and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers; - I Know My Rights - I Want It Now - Someone Else Is To Blame - I'm A Victim - Pay me for Doing Nothing
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on.
