All:
Costco is selling the D80 with two lenses (one is
the std. one that comes in a D80 "kit", the other
is a longer lens, can't remember which) for $1299.

Could any of the experts eyes here really pick the difference in an
8x10" color print from a Lumix FZ50 and Nikon D80? If so, what might
those differences be, and how acute?
Let's assume a Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens versus the Lumix IS lens, but

This is one great camera but now having power-up problems. By the way it's
acting up, I suspect it is just a connector.  I thought about tearing it

a flat fee now - somewhere around $150 for this camera.  ...

I've been looking at the Canon Powershot S3, which seems to
incorporate a USM-type IS lens and a 6Mpix sensor into what is almost
a dSLR combination, except for the changable lenses.  But with a 10X
zoom, all but the most extreme ranges are covered.  The only thing

I'm presently using Photoshop CS2 on a MacMini. I'm quite satisfied
with the program and how I use it.
What people is Apple's Aperture aimed at? Does it run on the Windows
platform?

I'm going to get 150 of my photo files printed at Asda as I can get them
done for 5p each at that quantity. Most of my files are at 7 mpx i.e. quite
large. The prints are 6" x 4" therefore is it actually worth sinding these
large files or should I re-size to say 1280 x 960 (1.3 mpx) ...

Hi, I need a two way rewinder (fast forward & rewind) for Mini DV video

My son has expressed an interest in photography and I will be giving him a
digital camera for Christmas but I would also like to get him some books
