I haven't been into photography for almost 40 years until my wife
bought me a digital negative scanner and I was able to scan over 100
rolls of B&W film that I had taken from 1968 to 1973.  It was a cheap
scanner but it did a pretty good job.  The negatives were mostly TriX

The 40D always brings home the goods!

I just got a Canon G9 and shot my first video and am trying to figure
out how to deal with my shortcomings and how to use the associated
editing software.  Does anyone know of a relevant chat group?

Hi newsgroup, dear readers.

What is the best way to make copies of hundreds of 35mm slides?
I have  several hundred boxes of slides each with more than thirty
slides in it and would like to be able to make prints from them. I figure

inside).  There is no plastic film on the LCD screen.  I am wondering

I have the Konica Minolta Lithium Ion Battery charger BC-900 for my

Can you reproduce this WinXP Irfanview v4.10 bug?
1. Start with a large directory of JPEG files (at least a few hundred
pictures, say about 400 or 500 from a normal photo shoot). These must have
a few files that are not rotated yet, but which have the proper Exif tags.

I have a Canon A560.  The built in lens cap is not opening all the
way.  This happens randomly, but is not acceptable.  I contacted Canon
and was told to send it in for repair.  I can just imagine waiting
weeks or longer and being without a camera all that time.  Besides

I wonder if anyone here can advise me on a rather unusual problem.
I'm being harrassed by antisocial teenagers in my neighbourhood, and
the police can't help me because I don't know their names or where
they live. And there are never any adults around whom I can point

I like most of Irfanview, but one thing...  I open a file from thumbnail
