Random questions about my Nikon camera

**Taylor** · #1 (**permalink**) 03-17-2007, 02:35 AM

[i][u]well, let me start by saying these questions are REALLY random.. that said, here goes with #1:

What is the best thing to use for cleaning of my S9's screen (i.e wipe, paper towel), it has recently been subject to smudging (did I mention that I am bothered by dirt?) and nothing I do helps, it only agitates my screen, and me more.

Told you it was random

Also, as I am, as i said in my profile, a complete noob, so i have no idea but.. is a bag neccassary? And if so, is there any particular bag you would reccomend? (something that is affordable as i am not a millionaire, and live with a below average income)

Also

Id just like to say (even thought this is a website about photography, Im talking about this anyway) have I mentioned the how easy it is to upload pics from your Nikon to your flippin sweet Mac?

as always
vistasucks (really bad)

I use lens paper (you can get that at any local camera shop) and my breath to clean my screen and glass

I wouldn't use a paper towel because they may scratch your screen (because they have tiny wood particles in them) so I would avoid using that. Or you could use a really soft cloth and get the cloth damp (just a little!) and then wipe it off.

A bag isn't really that necessary for a camera like the Coolpix because its relatively small and you dont have to carry around extra lens's, the only reason you may want a bag would be to prevent getting the screen scratched, so a little body bad would be the ideal thing for that and they are probably no more than 20 bucks (I'm not sure though

)

Haha, yeah its pretty easy to upload pictures to macs

Thanks for the advice.. again! It seems like you are some Coolpix wizard! (or know-it-all?) haha

Hey, I have another question.. although this one might seem a little more odd than the last couple.. Well since i dumped (um, put) $250 (U.S) haha i crack up when i put obvious things in quotations.. anyway, i "invested" $250 in my S9, and since i really didnt have that much to spend in the first place (I know you guys buy ten thousand dollar cameras, but I'm not at that income level yet) I was wondering what is the best way to make money with my camera? Is there any way I could make it pay for itself? Thanks for the help, and i definitely appreciate your patience as I know these questions might get tiresome.

COOL. Time to upload some sweet photos to my mac (Jamaica photos!) and then sell them off.. do you think i should get a more expensive camera, or will a 6.1 mp picture be bought also?

I would wait till you start getting money off of it to upgrade your camera to a more expensive one

Ok I appreciate your advice.. but as the nature of my job gives me an inordinate amount of time on the computer with nothing to do, what are some quality cameras i should research for further purchase? Also, would you trust getting a camera off of ebay, or are there to many possible defects?

**Will** · #10 (**permalink**) 03-17-2007, 08:22 PM

You might wana try a nikon d40 or D50

And yeah ebay isnt bad to get a camera off of

just make sure the seller has good feedback

and if there are pictures of the camera make sure it looks good
