I am thinking about buying this camera, but a couple of reviews have
stated that both the viewfinder and lcd screen are difficult to see in

the beach, soccer games, etc.  Is it really difficult to use in bright

A photographer friend of mine processes everything in Photoshop in 16 bit
RAW.  When he wants to have a print made he changes the image to an 8 bit
tif.  He says that the reason for dropping to 8 bit is that most photo labs

I have a Nikon F90X which sometimes gets used when only film will do.

for detailed machineery shots which I can also use for photographing
documents and paintings without barrel distortion.

We have a QV-R51 which generally takes great pictures but takes FOREVER
to take them.  I've made sure that the battery is full, turned off
red-eye reduction, and played with everything else I can think of but I
press the shutter button, count to 100 (OK, maybe only 3) and _then_

A few weeks ago I bought an 80 G compact drive with built-in card
readers. Up until a few days ago I also used it as USB drive while
sorting out my other drives. My Computer always indicated its capacity
and available space as it does with my other USB drives but now it is

I've searched the archives on this, and got alot of answers, many
conflicting.  What are your opinions of the latest versions of the
Gretag EyeOne vs  Monaco Optix for using on a) a cheap Dell CRT and b)
an Apple Cinema 20" (my next purchase, although I use a PC)?  I would

I recently purchased a nice sony Cyber-shot DSC p200 digital camera for
my wife and she has been taking pictures like crazy.
The software that came with the camera seems to create a separate

Thinking of buying one from Amazon.

In a couple months, I'm going to be the official photographer for a
play put on by a local school. This is the first time I've ever really
done photography for anyone other than myself, and as such am a little
nervous about getting it right. (Please note: They understand that I'm

Is there a way to embed names in photos so that a search may be made at
a later date to retrieve a selected person? This would be where
multiple people are in photos and you just want to pull up one person's
list of pictures in a stored set of pictures (say, 1,000 to 5,000

What zoom lens would you go for on a 20D?  EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM or a
EF 17-40mm f/4.0L USM?
Obviously, the 17-85 has a greater focal length/range and is image
