I am digital clueless and need help buying a digital camera for a first
time user. I do not have a "real computer", only a WEBTV . After reading
consumer reports and reviews on epinions I think a Canon Powershot A520
would be a good starter camera for me. I then read this group and ...

I have one of the early 500mm Reflex Nikkors.  Non-AI.  I attached it
to my D100.  No force, no strain.  In manual mode, it worked well.  At
EI 400, took outdoor shots at 1/400, 1/800, and 1/1000.  Most
surprisingly good, and sharp.

I am just about to move from film to digital SLR (D100) and want to know if
my lenses (24mm, 85mm, 80-200mm) will work at their same focal length as on
my F90x.  I use a digital compact and the focal lengths seem to be very
different.  A friend of mine said it was something to do ...

I recently scanned family pictures and want to make CD's to give the
family.  Because of the user level of a lot of the family members I
want to auto start
the default browser with the index html file.  I have produced a cd

I'm new at trying slideshow software to display photos with transitions
and music. This is really neat but the quality of the photos is not as
good as viewing the same photos by hooking up the camera to the tv. The
tv is a new Toshiba hd crt.

I want to take pictures of automobiles with their new owners on dealers
lots.
I know I will need a tripod but what type of digital camera would give
good images because I need to make a print of it on a photo printer.

There's a new version of Panorama Factory out.
Not a big deal, but I've found PF easy to use.

I need some simple free software for browsing and viewing pictures on
an iMac. Something like the functionality of the Windows XP explorer
thumbnail / filmstrip viewer at a minimum, perhaps with the ability to
resize photos and simple effects also.

Here is why I cant decide between these two:
1) I am clumsy. I drop things all the time. I have a 3.1 MP HP camera
that I drop all the time, and take fishing with me, and treat like
crap, but it still works (though takes terrible pics). Ill keep it for

I am going to buy a vamera this week.  I have been looking at the 8/9 mp
slr-like (but non-slr - Too expensive) range and I think I'm down to 2.
I want a good zoom range 10x Optical is good, and a flip or twist lcd is
handy.  Also a manual zoom ring.  I want a shutter speed at least ...

Hi folks...
I've crossed this message to the most relevant-seeming rec.photo.*
groups in an effort to maybe "hit" the right person to get a good answer
from. If you're not interested in hardware-hacking, feel free to move

Does Corel PSP-X (or PSP9, for that matter) support the Fuji .RAF (RAW file)
format ? Is there a plug-in for it, if so, where ?. I have searched
extensively for this plug-in. I have just purchased PSP-X expecting it to do
it, but it doesn't seem to support this format without a ...

Beyond the dpreview listing of a Canon SD550 and a Panasonic LX1 as
"Ultra Compacts", and the new Canon S80 as "Compact" (even though the
LX1 is within 2 silly mmm of the S80 in every dimension [Disregard the
LX1's 26mm: that doesn't include a lens boss]), these three cameras
