Those were digital but not SLR cameras. "YOU" should have pointed that out in your reply and if you wanted to, then answer the question. Dave | Ahh.

Does not the charter of this group seek to avoid/prevent/discourage top posting? Did you not break the charter yourself just now? Perhaps I see the stupidity of having a set of guidelines (rules?) in the form of a Charter which are only ever used or evoked by people when *they* feel like it. Those same people - which you can now class yourself as one - turn a blind eye to their own activities which are outside the charter whenever it suits them. What does that make you, David? Doug I always post On Topic. Replies in a thread may go Off Topic. I almost always Top Post. It is my preference and *I will continue* to do so. The rest of my replies are inline... | So David... | Does not the charter of this group seek to avoid/prevent/discourage top | posting? No. It discourages >80 chars/line and more than 4 lines/sig. When I stated they were stringent rules. A very wise a smart man replied... "That part of the charter is more of a suggested practice as opposed to 'hard rules' that are set out higher up in the charter. There is rarely an excuse for more than a few lines in a sig. The bit about 80 chars is for those who have funky readers that don't wrap intelligently." | Did you not break the charter yourself just now?

A UseNet proponent who has been posting for ~15 years. Dave > I almost always Top Post. It is my preference and *I will continue* > to do so. You say that like it's something to be proud of. Because you've done it for 15 years doesn't make it right, or even acceptable to the majority; it merely proves you know how to dig your heels in against the prevailing current. I'm just sayin'. I don't see there is a current. I see three sides to the coin and there is no right way and no wrong way. I will say there is a better way in some circumstances. Dave | > I almost always Top Post.

The militant enforcer, eh? er, no, the reason we created these divided NG's was to have the right topics in the right place. The OP would be better served there, and we would be better served not to reply here with what he wants to know in order to keep this NG on topic. > And when was the last time you posted off topic to a group, Alan? Oh, from time to time, but I don't make a big habit of it. > While I'm on it... Your Sig is outside polite limits too Nothing wrong with my sig. I've kept it as compact as possible, and all of the links are relevant to the NG's where I typically post. > I'm sure you know the one about glass houses and stones. People who live in grass houses should not stow thrones. Yes indeed, they are heavy those thrones. BTW: Don't top post, Ryadia. Pretty rude.

Pretty rude. >>> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Andrew. > Rule? Guideline. Oh Tom.... Some people are like little puppies. Need to be trained and have rules to be accepted. It's not even a guideline. AFAICT it stems from the dark old days of teletext when every character sent was an drain on a network. Someone pointed out on Sourceforge or freshmeat (can't remember which) a set of proposed standards for Usenet postings which adopted a lot of teletext guidelines. A lot of use of Usenet and the quasi standards adopted were from teletext. Using a personal sig longer than 3 lines with a separator above, added significant load to messages. If you really are interested in this totally off topic subject, do a search on Yahoo or Goggle for personal sig RFC. That should make your day! Incidentally... Alan's sig is 5 lines in total (4 plus separator). Like I said in my first post: Some people choose to use the "rules" when it suits them and deny all knowledge of them when it doesn't. That is just human nature. If Alan is to be the (unofficial) policeman of this group, then I will point out his short comings (and there are more than just his sig) when he gets up someone for doing something he doesn't like. Live and let live, Alan. And hey... When did you get the DSLR? I thought you were a film kinda guy. Doug >Incidentally... Alan's sig is 5 lines in total (4 plus separator). Like I >said in my first post: Some people choose to use the "rules" when it suits >them and deny all knowledge of them when it doesn't. That is just human >nature. If you're going to be anal about the rules, you really ought to get them right. The separator line doesn't count towards the suggested four-line limit. But you know this, of course - you just choose to ignore it :-) > Incidentally... Alan's sig is 5 lines in total (4 plus separator). Like I > said in my first post: Some people choose to use the "rules" when it suits [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Alan. And hey... When did you get the DSLR? I thought you were a film kinda > guy. 1) The seperator is inserted by Netscape. 2) 4 lines are hardly abusive. 3) The Charter for this NG says 4 lines in a sig. 4) The whole point of this NG is digital SLR equipment and someone stumbled in here with the right question in the wrong place... all I did was tell his where the right place was. 5) I don't answer to you. 6) Yeah I shoot film and no doubt I'll be shooting more digital in the future.

You are wrong ( you probably know you are wrong). The proper etiquette is no more than 4 lines not including the seperator. The seperator is not part of the signature. It is an indicator so that properly written newsreaders will know that it is the signature below the seperator and the message above, so that when posting a followup that includes quoted text, the signature is not quoted, it is omitted in the quoted text in the followup.

Minolta DiMAGE Z3 > 4. Canon Powershot S1IS None of the above are digital SLRs, so they are not what you are looking for. I would suggest you buy the Nikon D70 with the kit lens. A very good camera with a true SLR feel to it.
