Our village school (ages 4 to 11) has had good use from a couple of Sony
Mavica cameras - big and clunky but with the great advantage that they
used floppy disks, so each child could take their photo, remove the
disk, pass the camera to the next child and get to work on their PC

Perhaps the more technically minded could tell me (in simple terms) why
are Leica and Zeiss lenses better? I mean, the clarity is there, but
why? Better glass? Better what?

I'm currently using ZB 5.2 with both my Canon Powershot A80 & Rebel XT.
Does anyone know if I can use both camers with ZB 5.5??  Thanks!

   I can't open them with photoshop CS2, anyone can help?

The CCD imager came out well before I retired six years ago, and I had
lots of references and handbooks on them. I was working when the first
bucket brigade chips came out, and when people first added photodetector
sites to them, so I feel I am reasonably well versed in how they ...

My 17 laptop has 1920x1200 resolution, 2,304,000. Is this Mp, is this

Anyone compares CaptureOne Pro to RawShooter Premium? I was at my friend's
studio trying RawShooter trial and found that it is very good and done many

all, very much cheaper. Any advice?

Can someone please post a generic abuse complaint for xo.com or aol or

I am passionate about digital photography. Just learning. Would someone
explain to me how when I look at the exif data of a photo and it says

OK, sports fans, it's like this.  I've read a few references on this
forum to various slideshow software so I finally decided to try one out
