Well, I enjoyed my stint with the DMC-FZ30, but haven't used it very
much, all told. Mainly because I've been using the dSLRs that my
employer provides a LOT more.
So, I've decided to sell off the Panasonic and get a dSLR of my own.  In

I am in the market for a digital camera, to be used for close-up still
shots.  In general, does a ZLR produce better pictures than an P&S?  Are the
optics better in a ZLR?  Is the sensor better?  I understand that ZLRs can
do much zooming, something I do not need,  I will use the ...

I recently bought an EX-Z500 and what a great little camera. But it will
NOT download the pictures at USB2.0. It only works very slow (about
USB1.1 rates) with the provided cradle. Everything else on the PC works

I'm debating whether to finally go the digital route with a Nikon D70s and
sell on my Nikon f80 body.  I friend gave me quick look over his new(ish)
D70 purchase and showed me his holiday pics dumped to CD (presumably as

competition really that fierce? Are our own shots really that similar

I just bought a second digitcal camera, an SLR.  I plan to take both my
old P&S and the new camera with me when I go out.  I was wondering if
its possible to share a memory card between the two cameras?

I'm trying to improve my night shots.  I've recently took this pics

I'm new to digital and don't know much about them. I have an Olympus
C-7070 and have been taking close-ups of plant structures like growing
points and have noticed that when I view the images at 100 % there
have been very small insects that the 7.1 MP of my camera are not

I had a Lumix FZ-20, but my daughter dropped it. I ordered an FZ-30 to
replace it. However, I've already noticed some noise issues in the FZ-30
photos. I can't imagine that the FZ-20 is better, but in looking at photos
on my monitor, the FZ-20 photos just seem better (and it may ...
