I have a lot of 4X5 color negatives as well as many 6X7 negatives that I
would like to scan in high resolution and then print (to 8.5X11 or larger).
Any body have experience  doing this? What scanner should I be considering?

I purchased my Nikon 8700 in March and was disappointed from the start.
Then in July the camera became Schizophrenic. The operating software
has gone completely haywire. The camera does what it wants to do, not
what I want it to do. Pretty neat trick for a mere $700.

    I'm considering getting a dSLR. The afore mentioned cameras is where
I'm targeting. Is the D70s worth the extra over a D50. Are the extra 2M
of pixels on the Canon the decisive factor? I had also planned to get
the 55-200mm lens to round out the package. Any opinions.

I bought my Canon Rebel XT recently, but somhow, the colours I get are
faded. I went out this PM and took a few shots around the house. The sky was
deep blue, yet unless I'm terribly wrong, it seems my XT might be
misbehaving ;-(

I haven't been paying much attention to my Brooklyn Store Fronts album.
I've been busy with my parade pictures, and my next project is to stitch
the 23 panoramas I recently took in Denmark. But every few days the store
fronts album produces an e-mail. Usually just a thank you, but ...

I applied for the rec.photo.equipment.sigma Call For Votes almost 2

suspense, but hopefully voting will start soon.

Image stabilization appears to be a great feature of the mid-priced
10X + digital cameras. There appears to be a few different types.
Are these systems all similar?
Do any of them work in a unique way that makes it superior?

The lens just suddenly stopped retracting.  Powered it off and on a number
of times, installed fresh batteries, it's stuck.
Has this happened to anyone else, cheap or expensive fix.  Digital cams are
getting so cheap, probably better off buying a new one??

How much is a Canon A80 worth now?
Thanks.

Right up front I will say that I don't believe we always need the
ultimate in print sharpness for the print to look great, I am however
interesting in what it take to get the sharpest print possible.
I am going to limit the prints to ones that are output on the laser jet

I just found a site (a Belgian travel operator) which uses two of my

I'm trying to help my girlfriend find a suitable camera to
replace her 35mm compact camera (Pentax Espio 928, 28-90mm zoom).
She takes snapshots and doesn't need an SLR. A compact camera is
an advantage since it'll be easier to bring along, but at the
