Kevin Harvick will likely be using the number 4 as his number next year. So I guess he won't be bringing the 29, then.

Also, Budweiser has confirmed that they are sponsering him for 22 races.
 
Would like to see Kodak sponsor him and paint the car yellow.

There's no room for Kodak anymore in the digital age. Cell phone cameras are as good, if not better, than any "point and shoot" camera on the market. If you're going to lay down the money for a "point and shoot" camera that's better than an iPhone camera, you're probably spending more money than you could spend getting a basic DSLR and basic DSLR lens. If you're going to go the DSLR route, the only way to go is Canon or Nikon.

Photography can get expensive but, honestly, if you only need the basics and you're going to lay down over $200 for a "Powershot" camera, you might as well go the distance. I spent less on my DSLR and multiple lenses for it than a lot of people I know who bought high end point and shoot cameras.
 
Also, I have a Kodak digital camera sitting around here at the house. It's the worst camera I have ever owned.
 
The first digital camera I owned was a Kodak. Interesting novelty and a POJ but one good thing I can say about it is that it could be charged through the dock.

I can only imagine how much more silver would be worth today if the masses were still using film :eek:

As for the topic at hand, it looks like there are only a few sponsors left who are doing anything near a full season so I guess 22 races will have to do.

Stop being so silly. I haven't seen a phone cam with a lens large enough to compete with fairly basic point and shoot cameras. The problem with camera phones will always be there. Small light bucket and short focal length.

With the original Kodaks, you shot all your (100) pics, then you mailed the entire camera to Kodak. They'd return mail you your photos plus your camera re-loaded with a fresh roll of film. A bit different now.

Drivers taking numbers with them when they switch teams is kind of a rarity. Junior had to leave the 8 behind when he went to Hendrick, Kenseth left the 17 behind when he went to Gibbs, and it looks like the 29 is staying with RCR. The last time I can remember a driver taking a number to a new team was Michael Waltrip, who took 55 from Bill Davis Racing to MWR. Other than that, not much comes to mind.

I thought team owner owned the number? Isn't this why the big discussion on Number 3 and it being Richards choice to put one of his grandsons in it? Which on a side note I would love to see, retired numbers are so lame.

Nascar owns all number, but lease them to the teams every year i believe. teams can only copyright number style.

even then he only had the 55 starting that year at Bill Davis racing. He really wanted the 15 from DEI, but they wouldnt let him have it.
 
Is that a hose clamp holding that thing together? Yeah that looks a lot handier than my canon all right. :sarcasm:

I've seen iPhone cameras outperform low-end DSLR cameras. And my iPhone camera was better than my Kodak point and shoot by a lightyear.

Of course, again, when it comes to a DSLR, if you're not buying a Canon or Nikon, you'd be better off throwing your money in a burning fire.

Which DSLR has an iPhone camera outperformed??

Sony has been getting pretty serious with the DSLR game as well.

Panasonic and Sony. One of our photographers at the news outlet I used to work for had a Panasonic - my iPhone took higher quality pictures and did so faster than his Panasonic DSLR.
