I've recently purchased my first DSLR as I'd like to get more serious
about learning photography. My current problem, is taking indoor, low
light pix. Also moving objects.
To put it plainly: I would like to take pictures of my 1 year old as

Is this a bug with these cameras? I have to choose download one by one
to get all the pics downloaded.

I want to start making beautiful close-ups from flowers etc. My
question is, do I need a macro lens (let's say a Nikon 105mm/2.8) if I
have a Nikon 70-200mm/2.8 already?
If so, why and what are the advantageous of a pure macro lens??

One operation I find I'm performing quite often in IrfanView is to
create a custom crop selection and specify a *square* size. For
example on a photo of 1600 x 1200 I would specify 1200 x 1200. But
that selection then appears on the left of the image. So I invariably

I'm trying to settle on a workflow for RAW images. I'm currently using
Nikon PictureProject, but am thinking of moving to iPhoto. I'm having
problems with both of these packages though: When I've got a RAW image

I used to have an Epson printer, and during that time I bought some of

The Epson printer itself sucked though,and now I have a Canon Pixma
MP500.  Even tho it's a multifunction, the printer is very good, and

I have a little Kodak DX-3900 that takes pretty nice pictures. However, we
just got some snowfall, and all the pictures I took in bright daylight today
came out very dark. Can anyone explain why? And if you can, would it be
possible to inform me how to prevent it?

Eight years ago I brought an Epson flat bed scanner and painstakingly
scanned over 2000 colour PHOTOS.  They were all saved to cd's as PSD files.
Technology has moved on and I recently brought a Dimage Elite 5400 neg
scanner. I did my best to get the neg scanner settings right ...

I am looking for a photo management database, and have not been able to
find anything that suits our needs exactly.  Those are:

related to the images)
