Help, my Epson P2000 came yesterday, but one thing I forgot to check
into was where to get a compact flash card that will read smart-media
and memory sticks cards. Where can these be obtained locally as there is
no time to mail order? (Best Buy, Circit City etc)

I have permission from the SO to upgrade from my much loved Oly 4000 to
the Canon 350D/XT.  I would like advice particularly re lenses – I have
looked around at reviews and websites and am more than a little confused
by the huge variety available!

I'm looking for an easy and inexpensive way to display on my TV the photos
(primarily) and video (occasionally) I have stored on my computers.  There
seem to be a lot of digital medial receiver products available, but most
reviews focus on audio issues (e.g., support for various ...

Does anyone have an opinion about their favorite camera in this series?
I've been looking at these because the cameras have both automatic and
manual settings and they've got good reviews. The ones I've looked at
are in the $300 range - C-60, C-5500, C-770. These are all listed as

I recently purchased a Nikon Coolpix 4600 and began using the included
Nikon Picture Project software.  
I noticed that both my original photo and the edited copy are both
somehow saved together under one (the same) file name.  Example:

I know, the 6000 doesn't exist! Should I buy the Coolscan 5000ED (4000
DPI) or wait and see what the next release is like?
I almost bought the 2700 dpi model, then they released the Coolscan
4000, then the Coolscan 5000ED. I have so many negatives and slides, I

Hey all.
I'm currently use an Olympus C-700 Ultra Zoom. Bought it in 2001 for
its 10x optical zoom and, at the time, monstrous 128MB memory cards.
Some good friends of ours are budgetting some money to buy us a new

I've got a TON of old Kodachrome slides from my Navy days in the 60's
and a TON of negatives taken over the years.
I'd like to get a scanner that will do a decent job (say good enough
to make a 5 X 7 print of the resulting scan.

I'm having a problem taking a macro picture with my Pro1 in Auto mode.
The auto focus keeps changing even after I depress the shutter half
way to lock it so I end up with blurry pictures.  Has anybody got any
suggestions on how to get around that?

I am about to undertake the scanning of photos going back to the
early/middle 50s. The default resolution is 150. Is that okay or do I need
to increase it to 300 or more. The photos will be b/w and colour.
Thanks

I need some advice on taking pictures of jewellery.
In particular, I need to photograph diamonds.
I've got a digibox and so far the reults I'm haavong are average.
I've seen in magazines that they get crystal clear pictures.

what are some good online places to order them?
what designs or logos do you have on your cards?
colors? If you are freelance, what do you put in the address or name of
company field?

Anybody know of a good model changing tent, small, economic? I found one on
google only to find the maker no longer supplies them due to manufacturer
costs, etc. Would like to get one for my models for outdoor location
shooting.

Can anybody tell me if there is a difference between an Analogue flat screen
and a Lcd flat screen and if there is would the Analogue be suitable for
Photoshop .

It uses the same sensor for every picture, whereas you get a brand new
'sensor' for every film exposure.  If there's a spec of dust on a negative
it's ruined, but at least the next shot will be brand new.  If a single
pixel on a digital sensor goes bad, the sensor is ruined--for ...
