I've just purchased a Minolta Scan Dual IV with the intention of digitizing
a large slide archive. I'm not at all satisfied with the results of my first

I will be in Cambridge-Boston Area next week for a conference and while
there (I am from Canada) I am hoping to buy a Lumix DMC-FZ20K to take
advantage of low tax rate plus low exchange rate.
I made a quick research and found out that next street to my hotel

I have noticed that the new PowerShot 620 sample pics don't really match
good old G6 sample pics for sharpness.
They both have 7.1 Mpixels and are said to have the same lens. I don't

My wife and I have been advanced amateur photographers for many years,

does anyone know of a way that i can store data on an SD 1GB card using

Hey, all.
I have a lens I plan to sell, and I intend to open it up for US as well

I'm giving my thoughts on ZoomBrowser to save othere the time I spent
with ths software. It came with the camera (Canon A520) and comes, I'm
told, with all Canons. They aren't doing their customers much of a
favor.

Did not notice this on the newsgroup so I thought It would be worth a
mention.
Nikon have issued the following :

I have managed to get my hands on an old Casio QV-700.  (Well,
actually, years ago I bought it, and then when I bought a Digital Rebel
I gave the Casio to someone.  They now have a better digital camera,
and they have given me back the Casio.)

I am on the verge of buying the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Scan Elite 5400 II
film scanner.
The objective is to digitise 4 years worth of 35mm negatives and to
update my digital photograph archive (which was initially built up using
