I've put the software of my SD card,
installed it at camera startup, and am seeing all menus.
The RAW menu is set to "on" (or at least "blob in square brackets",
as opposed no no blob).

I'm thinking of buying  a FINEPIX F31FD and the FXF30 waterproof casing for
it as I want to take it on a boating trip and there will be a lot of water
splashing about.  It's been used once and I am asked to pay £190 for the lot
which seems a bargain.

Is it possible to use the CHDK to make a Canon Powershot S3 IS take a
picture with an exposure time of half an hour? Having to write a
custom script would not be a problem.

I have been saving my digital  photos in TIF for the main archive copy
because of the potential for damage to files saved as JPG, which I
have been mostly shooting in. I have started shooting mostly RAW and
making a DNG copy for archiving. I was wondering if as DNG is also a

I have an 8 bit, sRGB, JPEG image (that I converted in Photoshop from a 16
bit, Nikon sRGB, TIFF image, which I scanned using a Nikon 35mm negative
scanner).
When I open it in Internet Explorer 7, it looks exactly like it should.

Do you people ever protest these kinds of things?  Or, do you think
"mother state" knows best, all the time??
The CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) has today released a
statement on the recent re-classification of certain digital cameras

I am going to use this camera to record a in chambers court hearing,

Like many people I'm looking for a new digital camera; is there a
comparative summary of features anywhere?
My "want list" includes:
- very small and light

For about the last week every time I turn my PowerShot S3 IS off and on I
hear a distinct ratcheting sound.  This occurs as the lens goes out and in.
The camera was new in June 2006.  Has anyone else ever had this happen?
Any suggestions for a solution are appreciated.

Are lens from 35mm film Elan  with or without and adapter compatible
with Digital Rebel.  Clearly that will have a bearing on my purchasing.
Thanks in Advance

Can anyone suggest which Memory Card Reader to use for the Sandisk
Extreme III 4.0GB Card?
Thanks

The thread where I started out to explain why pixel dimensions are
meaningful to me while dpi is not made me question my (amateur)
scanning technique. Have I been missing some quality by not scanning at
a higher resolution on my inexpensive desktop scanner?

Well, they had them at Sam's Club today for $300... I bought one!
Its a tiny 10x zoom 8MP image stabilized camera with full manual controls. I
require a camera that rides in a belt pouch and this seems to be the best
one yet.

I don't see very well, and night shots of any sort are extremely
difficult for me to focus manually. Even my best efforts to focus on
the night sky usually results in stars and planets appearing as fuzzy
balls of light, instead of pinpoints. Does anyone have any suggestions
