I just purchased the Canon S1IS.  Although I find a few quirks and am
disappointed that the power supply has to be purchased separately, I am
wondering whether or not the 1.6x telephoto lens is worth the cost?  Are
there any reviews of the camera with this lens?  My goal is to ...

This is part of what www.digitalcamerainfo.com actually said that
alarmed me. If you need smaller aperture and a hand holdable shutter
speed you have little choice than to shoot at ISO400. And look at what

Good Day All:
I am looking at giving my niece a digital camera for high school graduation.
I have pretty much figured out it will be approximately a 3 MP.  I am
looking at the following cameras, and am looking for input on them or others

iPIX no longer offers its software that uses a $25 "Key" to produce
each Full 360x360 Image. Although they still support it and sell Keys.
The Keys for their Real Estate Wizard, a lower level product, are only
$20 for 5 keys.

Rusty wanted me to ask

As I just mentioned in a prior post, I recently purchased the Canon S1IS.  I
have 30 days to evaluate the camera and to determine whether or not I'm
going to keep it.  I'm not sure that this camera is quite up to the task I
had in mind.  I want to photograph wildlife from a distance ...

circular element of the drawing appealing. We'd like to turn this into a

If I start with a picture  and save to a lossless format (say TIFF), then
save the TIFF to another lossless format, say PSD, then save to another (say
JPEG 2000) etc, etc.  Then I resave back to TIFF at the end (I've made no

I am looking for a compact digital camera for under $300USD (or a few
dollars more, but it will be cutting into my spare cash for a 1gb
card). I would like it to be quick in the sense that it won't take more
than a second or two too turn on, but most importantly, the shot to

I like men. There's no need to hide that admiration with false
understatement or bloated and insincere hyperbole. What I feel is just
that simple: I like men. I always have. Not boys, mind you -- although
there were quite a few of those along the way -- but men.

I need a small camera bag for my Canon A75.  I don't need anything fancy at
all.  It's between Roots or Lowepro.  Any comments?

It's like Usenet isn't fun for him anymore. Got kook?

The old Olympus C-2000Z let us down again at a party last night.  Sad, as
this has been a very good camera for recording events.  I'll post back in a
week or so and let you know what I think about the Panasonic.  This will be
our "family camera" as I use a 20D for serious amateur ...
