So I am after a reasonable cheapish digital camera that is easy to use,
smallish in size - anyone have any recommendations

I use PhotoPlus freeware (an old version of the current software) for
minor photo editing.  I've worked with Text Layers but haven't been
able to grasp the concept of layering anything else.  If anyone knows a
link with a tutorial for beginners on Layers (I don't care which

Hi, I'm not sure how to phrase the question, but I would like to make a
photo album or slide show with digital pics and themed MP3 music that
will play on a DVD player using regular CD's.  Any advice on the

I'm glad she's legal age. Daddy like.

My E-300 has 2 broken pins where the CF card goes.  Is it worth fixing, or

They should have a day where only white people are allowed to eat

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has an Olympus Camedia C-5060
and who has had a recent software upgrade.
