Hello.  I'm wondering if anyone that frequents this NG has ever had to deal
with numerous duplicates of photographs.  In a recent PC upgrade, I detected
that lots (count: 1,000's) of my digital photographs were, in fact,
duplicates.  I think this happened gradually over time as I ...

I recently got a Canon Rebel XT with the kit lens (18-55). I am mainly
shooting cars at shows and the race track. I would like some suggestions on
a lens with more zoom under $400. Can someone point me in the right

Hey all
How big are the practical photo quality differences between the 350D and
20D? I'm thinking of buying one of the two, but due to budget issues, I have

Folks,
Recently, a friend took her Canon 20D into a building with high
security. She was forced to put it through their X-ray machines.  There

In relation to my previous post, I'm wondering whether to go for an L lens
or not. Many pro photographers I've talked to say that generally the quality
of a shot produced with an L lens depends on the conditions in which the
shot was taken. I'm an aviation photographer, which is ...

Anyone know what DPI the common internet labs print at, with their
professional photo printers (assume digital files are given to them, of
course)?    I'm trying to figure out which ones print at 200 dpi, which at

new photos were added to the album.

HAs anyone used the OM conversion ring for the E-300/E-1?
Is it any good?

Folks,
I have Photoshop CS. One issue I have seen with the RAW converter is
that it tends to produce halo's around bright objects (as opposed to
DXO and RSE which do not). Does anyone know if Adobe has solved this

Am looking for a travel ballhead tripod that is less than a kg and
preferably 5'8" when fully extended so that it comes to my eye-level

I have some passport size photos printed out by byphotos who, according to
their website, print at 300 dpi.

notes say "The photographs must be printed at 1200dpi resolution or better
