I'm using a Konica Minolta Z3.  I have a frequent need to take 6 to 12
pictures and process them right away.  To get them into the editing
program I find I have wait an annoyingly long time for the card to go
through all of the pictures before I can get to the ones I just shot.

I have a Photosmart 612 camera that will only respond with a red,
blue, and green screen when powered on.  The view screen is divided
equally by three vertical bars of the colors I mentioned.  I have
tried removing the batteries repeatedly.  I have tried new batteries

Debuts" and on pg 63 has a photo of the E-330 with the caption "Novel:

I have just ordered a Nikon 35mm film scanner to convert all my old

I'm thinking of replacing my MF film camera with a digicam. But, I'm
concerned about the quality of the images I'd get, since I'd like to
produce up to 20" x 24" prints. Can anyone recommend a digicam,
