Why is that macro capability exists only in prime (as in fixed focal
length!!!) lenses? Other than primes, only a few cheap telephoto zoom
lenses seem to have macro.
In contrast, all P&S digicams have a macro feature and some like the

I have a Nikon D70. Granted, I don't use it that heavily at all, but
the battery seems to last for ever - seems to need charging every week
or so, I think I get around 500 shots out of it (guessing here). Stays
charged in the unused camera for weeks and weeks and weeks. Never have

For those of you who are using the programs, I've just uploaded Wega2
1.0.8.5.
And a while back I updated Focalplot renamed to ExposurePlot due to the
enhancements, see below.

Boy, I've been jilted. New Canon Powershot S60 can't produce sharp
pictures at its wide-angle (28mm in 35mm equiv.) setting. Either the
edges or center of all images are blurry and distorted. Can't even read
the street signs in my shots. And the purple fringing is severe, even

Ok, I've got to get this off my chest. These days, we see camera
manufacturer rolling off unit after unit of 7 or 8 megapixel cameras
targetted at the home user.
In my opinion, 7 megapixels is way too much for the average home user.

I'm in Scottsdale on business and want to get a smallish travel tripod.
I saw some at the local Ritz, but want to look at a few others. However
I have not been able to find a camera store here besides the Ritz
family. Are there any indy camera stores in the city?

Any ideas which one(s) would be best for such an application?

I'm intrigued by this review

What are your experiences?

Keep getting an error message, "no memory stick," or "memory stick
access."  Of course there IS a memory stick and it's empty of data.
Battery is fully charged.  If I take out the memory stick & reinsert,
usually, but not always, clears the problem; whatever it might be.

Hey, all.
I gather that this lens is due out right about now. I've yet to find
any reviews of it - has anyone else seen any?
I'm not as concerned about the speed of the thing as I am about the

Are there tools that map RAW images to printers without going through
RGB first?  How closely does the RGB signal that televisions and
computers deal with match the RGB that the human eye recognizes?
The world comes in a continuous spectrum of colors.  These are measured

I am looking to get a new camera and have narrowed my selection between
these 2. The specs are quite similar and price too with the Nikon costing
around £15 more than the sony. Was just wondering what you guys thought is
the better of the 2 perhaps someone has owned both ?!.

I'd like to order 1 or 2 poster-size prints: 16x20 or 20x30.
1. Any recommendations for online companies that have done this for you?
2. I have a few 4MP images. Would it be best to resize these myself, with
Photoshop? Or will the online service have better software to do

My LS443 Kodak Digital camera failed all of a sudden, with no human
intervention nor abuse of any sort after approximately 5000 shots over
less than three years
The lens mechanism wouldn't retract. This is the infamous "Error #45"
