I've noticed that there are quite a few people in this forum who use
(and seem to be happy with) the ColorVision Spyder. I've got the pro

There are a bunch of teeny screws in this thing, but I still don't think
I've taken all of them out, enough so that I can pry the case apart to see

When taking flash pictures in the rain occasionally fainter "tails" show on
rain drops illuminated by the flash. The puzzling thing is the tails are

I have a new Canon printer as mentioned above and we like the prints.
Two questions:
1) About how many 4X6 photos can one get before needing a new cartridge(s)?

Her dissapointment in this camera just continues.
