New Goodies coming for my A500!

OK, so today I ordered an Indivision ECS and a MiniMegi for the A500 from AmigaKit... Yippee! A couple weeks ago I popped in a Super Denise which I guess I'll take back out and put in the A2000 for the heck of it. I'm pretty excited about using an LCD on the 'ole A500 and keeping it on OS1.3. I currently do have an A590 that works well but I can't wait for the ACA520! Internal IDE will be awesome! That'll give me a SD/CF option (hopefully) for ADF transfer too! The ACA520 looks very interesting with the (possible) ability to piggyback an A1200 accelerator. This seems like a fairly straight forward project but I want to document anyway. (Along with tearing my A1200 back down and documenting as I need to check out some Escom quirks)

Which leads to my next question....  I need to buy a digital camera. I want something with a decent macro and possibly video. Has to have a good optical zoom too. There are some great cameras out there like the Panasonic Lumix or Canon SX30IS but I'm not sure I want spend that much. I've been to several camera forums but you can't really get an unbiased opinion as everyone just touts their camera as the best - since this forum would probably be unbiased on cameras I'm looking for suggestions for you peeps! What do you use for macro, optical zoom and video? Thanks much!

Ahhhh, thanks for that info Cammy. I'll probably go with a clock port and Subway then.

That's not a bad camera for $200 there Tone007! I was just checking it out on Amazon. How's the macro on it?
How about battery life?

Thx!

The A590 won't work with the ACA520.

Okee Dokee! I was hoping to stop using it anyway. Thx!
It's a clunky 'ole thing. I did put a SCSI drive and newest ROMS & RAM in it though.
A good Candidate for ebay!
