I am planning to back up all my photos to an external hard drive.  The first
time I back up, it will obviously be a big one, as there will be about

whole lot every time, or is there a way to just transfer ...

Both are 8MP, both have 2.5-inch LCD's with so-so 115K pixel quality.
C875 has a 5X Schneider lens (Canon has 4X). Canon has the vari-angle
LCD. Canon uses 4 AA's, Kodak uses 2.
Both of these are candidates for riding in my pocket for everyday

The death of 33 people at the VT incident left the whole world in
shock and disgust, as the media repeatedly show footage of Cho's video
tapes. How will this affect the world from now on? Will we learn to

I wonder if anyone could tell me how to determine the number of shutter
activations on my camera.  (I bought it used) and am curious.  I understand

Got a question I'm having trouble coming up with an answer for. Trying to
spend less time in Photoshop to fix picture exposure when shooting pics that
have a goodly amount of sky along with ground level detail I've seen
mentioned to use a split-neutral density filter on the camera ...

I too am noob.  Based on what I've gleaned from other recent posts, I'm
having second thoughts about taking this ad seriously.

I also have very small travel tripods that are 8 inches
and less in folded length, but are too small extended

Thank goodness I had the old Nikkor with me today or I would have missed a
once in a lifetime opportunity to record the second only known photograph
taken within the last 40-years of what was thought to be long extinct.
