I think I might buy a Quicktake 150. 
Do any of you have Quicktakes?
Do you like them?

Quicktakes
I found one in a shop a while ago but didn't bother with it. What's the point, really? They've no practical purpose now. I guess if you're one of those people with a fetish for anything with an apple logo on it... 
I have a 150, and it is awesome! It's so cool and takes good pictures.
I am sure that I will want one now.

Two things about Quicktakes...
The picture quality is sucky compared to modern cams, but the retro experience is ace. Buy it!

Get it if you are like me and want to get everything that has an Apple Logo somewhere on it 
It'll be about the quality of a fairly nice cameraphone.

Excellent.
Quicktakes do have more/bigger optics than cellular phones do, I would expect better images out of a quicktake than out of most cellphones, at least most phone pictures I've seen.
Yes Macster, your phone does have a decent camera, but a lot of the ones I've seen - especially at the VGA res.
There's a quicktake 100 at Surplus sales here, I've been thinking of getting it for use with my older macs. I also recently nabbed one of those Quicktime Conferencing Cam 100 things, nifty little NTSC camera, like a 1994-1996 version of the iSight, really meant to go with powermacs, but I may as well try with the 840av, eh?

I've always wanted a QuickTake. The QuickTake 100 is greyscale, right? And the 150 is color? AFAIK, the QuickTake 200 is actually manufactured by a 3rd party and not genuine Apple hardware...
Can the QuickTake be used as a webcam like a QuickCam?
Peace,
Drew

All QuickTakes are colour.
I have an example of each, including the "Quicktake 100 Plus" (which was a motherboard upgrade performed by Apple to bring a 100 to 150 specs).
The 100 and 150 were manufactured by Kyocera I believe, and the 200 by Fuji.
The 100 and 150 can only be used as a still camera (but can be computer controlled as someone has already mentioned).
The 200 software I have only syncs with the camera's media card and doesn't allow video streaming - but others may have seen it.
The Apple Quicktime Conferencing Camera (I've one of those too) was Apple's answer to an Apple badged QuickCam.
Kind regards,

Very informative.
All quicktakes are color, the only real different between the 100 and 150 is the firmware in the 150, allowing it to take more pictures. I think it may have slightly more storage too.
The 200 was actually manufactured by Fuji, it's also known as the DS-7 if I remember correctly.
The conferencing cam, is an interesting one, it's powered by an svideo port, (linksys router power adaptors also work!!!) and it outputs standard NTSC (to the composite port) video, it's pretty good quality too, and has a tripod mount. (I've got one, there's some interesting ideas on how to use it.)

Hmm... Mavica.
Aside from a Quicktake, the other type of retro digicam I'd like is definitely a mavica, followed by anything Kodak.
I would have to say that the Mavica is one thing Sony did right, I've seen a few still being used today, mostly by pc users who have floppy drives.

I got the Quicktake 150! YaaaaaaaaaaaY it's greatttttt! 
Post some pics! 
It might be hard to post pics of your camera (chicken and the egg, and all that), but maybe you could post some pictures you took with the QuickTake...
Peace,
Drew

This might sound stupid, but what's a Palkia?
I'd love to see some more pictures taken with the QuickTake. Can you get some bright light conditions? Perhaps outdoors?

Very nice! Are those images touched up at all, or are they at their original resolution?
