I have just bought a used Panasonic Lumix DMC-F20 on Ebay (£179) and I
am puzzled by the file numbers I have been generating - e.g.P1040141. I
can't imagine that the previous owner had shot over 1m photos - at
least I hope not.......!!!

Sorry to post two ?'s in a row, but I didn't want to ask them in the same
post.
I use ACDSee to do quick adjustments to my images (levels, color, curves).
But I use PhotoShop CS for major work.

Anyone actually belong to the Flickr site? I can't seem to find out what
amount of storage is "free" and what additional storage costs on their site.
No info found yet by doing a Google and a couple of other searches.  Any
help appreciated. thanks RichG TX/IL

Askey has a wonderful photo of the new Pentax K10D alongside the /d200 and
the 30D.
At last! - a Pentax that can hold it's head up amongst mid-range dslr's -
and not only hold up its head!, it can ask those other two over-priced

Any recommendations on the best places to buy high res images of skies?

I am looking for printer recommendation to print digital photos (I have
a BW laser for other stuff) to replace a dying HP 5550. The features
I look for are:

As usual, I went over to see my pal, Spike, during my lunch hour today.
As it turned out, it was his lunch hour, too.

HI, I am new to the group. Can anyone help me with this problem:
I have a sony memory stick that someone downloaded some writeprotected
photos to and I cannot delete them.

I have an 80-200 f2.8 Nikon Zoom left over from a late and totally
unlamented F-100 that I used to own. It was the most unreliable and
fragile 35mm that I've ever had!
Anyway- it seems that when you use 35mm lenses on digital cameras

like no one else

okay, so i decided i'm going to get a dslr. the problem is, i'm not going to
buy new. i may not like the medium, so i'm not shelling out big, at first.
the two options i am down to are:
a used Nikon D100, or used D1

Here's about 1 1/2 dozen snaps of GWB's face photoshopped onto.... well,

FYI: I just noticed that firmware version 2.01 was available for my
Pentax *ist DS and that Pentax has also released the following sofware
updates:
PENTAX PHOTO BROWSER/LABORATORY VERSION 3 UPDATE (AUGUST, 2006)

I am a serious amateur using Canon 350D. I do a fair amount of printing
(currently Epson Photo Stylus 870).  I have been using Paint Shop Pro
for some time now (currently vers X).  While I am generally very happy
with it, I am getting the impression that PS Elements may have more ...

Was wondering if anyone could shed some light on a few tricks of the
trade.  I'm interested in taking some shots of bags and backpacks.  The
best site by far that I've seen is ebags.com
How do they make the straps rigid like this:
