I am attempting to download pctures from a Lumicron 618z3 camera to a PC
running  Windows ME but am having problems accessing the camera.
The camera is recognised on connection, is visble in Device Manager

I have been copying miscellaneous items of paperwork (up to A4 size)
using a good quality sturdy photographic copy stand and a run of the

I have decided it is time to sort out my many pics using a serious
program.  Are there any reasons not to use Thumbs Plus?

took photos because it was convenient?

I am looking for a photo printer for less than $500.
I am not concerned about speed only quality. I only expect to print about
four 8 x 10 prints and ten 4 x 6 prints every week, but it is a lot more fun

Just got back home after 8 days away at work. Rushed to the computer to
check the old newsgroup and found... nothing. Nada. Zip, nowt and bugger-
all as well. Just the same old drivel from the same old idiots (you know
who you are) No wonder the usenet is dying. Are we allowed to ...

Would like a camcorder with still photo capability too. Ballpark budget
$300-400.
Any recommendations (the only definite features I'd want are decent

Is the Pentax DL digital a sound body and worth
purchasing or is it much inferior to the DS2.
Is the DL the one with mirrors and not the standard
pentaprism for a SLR?

Well, I bought the jank tripod from Wal-Mart. It seemed to do exactly what I
needed it to do, it's a little flimsy, moves when I press the shutter but I
use the 2 second delay and it's fine. That was until I took a few photos and
showed them to people. Everyone says they tilt to ...
