A cloudless October day .... perfect for an air show!

Maybe someone here would know or maybe suggest where I can ask this
question.
Would it be best to show photos and captions in a MS Word document and
archive the family album this way for future generations to easily access?

.....from the 'professional' reviewers & testers like Digital Outback,
DPReview, Andy Rouse, et,al........not, in fact, even a mention of what is
arguably *the* best RAW converter to hit the market so far.
Lot's of praise for Raw Shooter Professional, though - and no mention of ...

Does anyone here use a radio slave for their flash/strobe units? I've
got a D70 and an Alien Bee, and I've found the visible flash triggering
to be spotty when I use it at our small local rink. What do people here
use, and do you like it? Thanks!

Hey "Guys",
Does anyone have a trashed Nikon SB-25 or SB-26 Speedlight they'd be
willing to unload (sell cheap) for parts? I have a perfectly good one
with a broken foot and Nikon has discontinued this part. It's fairly

I currently own a Fujifilm Finepix 2600 but want to get a better
compact or ultracompact digital camera. The 2 problem areas with the
Finepix 2600 that I definitely want to overcome are the following:
1) The camera will not [auto] focus in low light conditions, indoors or

On the front of my P/S lens, there is a label that says:
5.8-32mm 1:2.6-5.5
And on the front of my film SLR lens, the label says:
35-80mm 1:4-5.6

Are both lenses sharp.  Any first hand knowledge would be appreciated.
Also, would I be better off getting a Sigma 70-300mm and giving up
100mm's of reach to get the better macro on the 70-300mm lens or a
Tokina 80-400mm?  I like long lenses but I also like macro.  My other

Other than cropping photos to small dimensions (or using thumbnails), what
are the best ways to make photos take up less space and bandwidth so you can
have large photos fully displayed on web pages without it taking ages to
load on dial-up connections?

I remember a discussion at one of the newsgroups about the possibility to
connect a portable GPS unit to a Nikon D2X so that the GPS information would
be embedded in every image.
Is there such an option for making the same work on a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II

I posted a week or so ago about the wide angle lens for the Canon S1
IS. I've looked at the photostictch software a couple of people here
recommended, and I'm thinking it (or I) just won't be able to produce
"professional" enough looking images with it. I'm not looking for

Why Dpreview don't have a test about accuracy of the colors....

I have a HP Photosmart M307 digital camera, and I use NiMH 1800mAh Duracell
rechargeable batteries (ACCU).
The problem is the batteries run out after taking about 10 photos.
Can anyone please advise on how to solve this?

Long time avid amatuer photographer... Canon fan since the '70's when
the F-1 was introduced. My job as a consulting engineer brought me in
contact with digital photography. In 2001 I bought a Nikon Coolpix 880.
It's a workhorse and I've done some wonderful 11x14 photos with it. Not

Hi everyone, my Coolpix 880 was stolen last week.  Luckily, I had
insurance which will cover it (apart from the excess).  The insurers
want to know what a like-for-like replacement will cost, but of course
the digital camera market has moved on a long way since the 880 was
