I have been tempted to post some photos on gallery type websites,  but
do not want others to be able to use/download a full quality photo

I bought one on Friday. I shot it side by side with my 6mp dRebel. I was
impressed that the 610 has about the same resolution. The images show high

searched the web and the forums, but still confused...

I bought my digital camera a few months ago and always have it in my
coat pocket. I don't have a case because I like having the ability to

I shoot both stills and video but want the convenience of both in a small

camera like a portable scanner.  Casio S-600 is the one ...

My dear wife was thoughtful enough to by me some extra memory for my
D70 but she did not know that xD was a different form factor so I have
two chips available either singly or buy them both and save some

I got a Kenko 300 Pro 300 2X converter the other day.  It works fine
with all non-"S" lenses, but when I try to use it with my 1000mm

Been having a problem with just one NiMH AA battery. This one battery caused
a whole (4x) set of AA NiMHs, freshly charged with a smart conditioning

By a process of elimination I identified the rogue battery but using a

I'd like to make my own calendars
