| Quicktake 150 | |
| Posted by: bibilit on 2012-12-09 06:40:08 I have been looking for one of those for years. Don't like the 200, so was seeking for a 1xx series, just collected one today for 10 €.  (Not mine in the picture) the Quicktake was not in a box, and nothing else was included with the camera (except the rear strap), but i can't complain. 3 batteries and i was ready, time to find the software 🙂 | |

| Posted by: bibilit on 2012-12-10 10:51:09 I will, will probably use the IIsi for the purpose, will need to create some floppy discs for the driver first. | |
| Posted by: LOOM on 2012-12-10 12:16:22 I was also looking for it a few years ago, but I never won a bid on it so I gave up :lol: | |
| Posted by: bibilit on 2012-12-16 07:22:40 I have spent most of the day playing with the Quicktake. Well playing is nor really appropriate 🙂 First step was to find the software (i was lucky to find the French one -just for fun as US one will have been ok) Next step was to get a set of floppies ready, so out the Powermac G4 and the Usb floppy drive (in the end one disk was bad, but anyway...) Then out the IIsi' s (both units) a keyboard, a mouse, a display... First try didn't worked (one of the Floppy Drive has gone bad) but in the end i got the software working great.  The process is very long and you need 4 floppies for the Quicktake 150 (just 2 for the 100)  At the end, the software will ask again the first floppy and a reboot. using the camera is really easy, just plug the serial cable and ask for a connection...nothing more.  A double click and pictures are there, this little cam is working flawlessly :b&w:  My wife and kid playing Skylander :lol: Well to be honest, quality looks pretty poor (seems better with the RasterOps card) but the Photoflash software provided will help to improve things a bit...but not much. | |
| Posted by: bibilit on 2012-12-16 07:30:54 Photoflash looks like a cheap Photoshop soft :  When i first used the camera, i noticed 6 pictures were already there, so it was no surprise to discover those in the memory. The Quicktake seems to have been used in a firm, as all pictures are showing people working behind computers. The only surprise came from one of those pictures:  Look at the Ibook, and at the sticker !! | |
