What are the advantages of 5 mp over 4mp, particularly with 10-12 x
optical zoom? I will be using the zoom quite a bit and will also be
doing a fair amount of landscape photography. I'd like to print
8.5*11 inch color prints of my shots, both zoom and landscape. Any

Does anyone have any experience with either of these two storage devices?
AFAICT, the Epson looks better.
Would appreciate any helpful advice.
TIA-

I cannot find any direct comparisons in the form of reviews or newsgroup
comments on these two cameras. It is somewhat surprising since they are so
similar.
There are many independent reviews of course but I am curious if anyone

I want to photograph an 8 1/2x11 paper document
so that I can reproduce it on my photo printer. That is,
I simply want to make a good copy of any paper document,

Rather suddenly I will be doing some team photographs together with
individual player shots (mostly lacrosse, which begs the question of
helmets on or off, or try to do both if there's time.) and I wonder if
there are some ready tips of what to avoid, any rules of thumb as to

As an amateur photographer used to an analogic Canon EOS-1000 reflex camera,
but rather tired of carrying a big load, and not wanting to spend a lot of
money on a digital SLR, I'd point out what I'd expect from a compact digital
camera:

Are there any owners of this camera who also take it backpacking? Features
and size make it sound ideal, but what about the pictures?

I have printed out many digital prints & they have looked great.  It's only
when you use a large magnifying glass can you see the individual dots from
the ink jet printer.    For the first time I have had a few digital pictures
printed in a shop.  When I examined these with the ...

I understand the advantages of digital SLRs over the top end point and
shoots, but if the number of mega pixels is the same, is there really a
difference in picture quality? Could someone looking at a print or a file
from each of the camera tell which came from which type of camera?

Has anyone experienced the Minolta Dimage Z3 or Z5 overheating? This
was mentioned in one some reviews I read and apparently is also
mentioned in the manual. If so, under what conditions of usage does it
overheat and what are the effects of the overheating? (frying parts,

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about when the upgrade/next
model of the Konica-Minolta DiMAGE Z3 might be out.
I've decided to buy this camera and not sure when/if it's likely to go
on sale or by how much. Trying to decide if I should wait a bit or just

An FYI for those who shop online. Read the article on p. 107 of 'Computer
Shopper' for details. Briefly, it describes how many online stores use
different business names and websites, but are actually the same company -
even to the use of the same phone numbers. An example: 'Abe's ...

   I'm using the 8 meg card that came with the camera and sometimes I run
out of storage.
   Questions: can I replace the card with any standard flash card or are
there any special limitations on memory size and type? Anybody know of where

I am looking for a SLR digital camera in the $1000 range that has the
capability of taking a picture per second and transferring these images
continually to a computer hard drive. I will be using a macro lens to
transfer 16 mm movie film frames and I would like to step the frames ...
