Canon rocks!
Just kidding, of course, but I am trying to remove the Ritas, one post at a
time ;>)

I just noticed that dpreview have finally added a pixel density metric
which could save some time when comparing cameras.
However they express it as pixels / cm^2.
I just wrote them a spot of feedback recommending that they do it as

I am looking to get my first SLR camera (I have been using point and
shoot to this point) and was wondering what I should get.  I have been
reading numerous websites, but would like some info from people who
use these cameras.  I have read ken rockwell's website and noticed he

I have created a jpeg in photoshop (CS2) on a 4x6 canvas.  The image
has three two photos placed in the middle with a colored background.
The two photos (different layers) have equal spacing in between and
from the outside borders.  I tried printing this image at Costco,

When shooting film I'm constrained by the fact that each shot costs a certain
amount of money.  When shooting digital, however, the cost of each shot is
nearly zero, and the tendency is to shoot and shoot.  So when I get home, I
end up with 400 shots to sort through, instead of 30 ...

It has come to my attention that NIkon has discontinued all (except 1)
of their medium zoom lenses that are reasonable priced leaving
themselves with a fine but expensive group of FX lenses plus some of the

I recently purchased a Spyder3. Installation and calibration went
smoothly.
However, I keep getting a slight green color cast after calibration.

I am looking for a tool to post-process the following type of photo:
Given a series of photos of flat rectangular objects, such as book
covers, letters, magazines, posters, taken against an uniform
background.

I've been trying to find a one month WiFi package for the US (Southwest).
eg: I pay once and then get WiFi access where available w/o having to
hound out a free spot.
Anyone?

I'm not familiar with the highlighted icon in this image of a Lumix screen.

It would appear to be Action And Drinking mode.
Am I missing something?  :)

Finally broke down and got a new computer and new PS3 and Lightroom
for working in digital photography. Any one have suggestions on the
add-on, after market software like NIK or AlienSkin or any others that
I could add to the Holiday gift lists?

I really was not expecting it but there it was in my viewfinder and I
got it!
This is a real-time photo, not faked at all.

I hope this is the right NG to ask this question.  If it's wrong, then I
apologize.
I use a 4 pack of NIMH Hama batteries 1.2v/1850mAh in my Canon Power
Shot A80 digital camera.  

My daughter dropped my HP R817. The lens mechanism gear train was
jammed, and although I did get it moving again, I stretched some tiny
springs in there and don't think it will be repairable. Does anybody
have one for sale? I already have the charging dock which allowed it to

Been a photographer since before the Nikon F Photomic T was the hottest
thing to hang around your neck (and I did). Been through a Rollei 6x6 2.8E
Planar, a few Contaflexes, a Leica RF, some Minoltas (SRT-101), a Miranda,
Olympus, and a few Canons, etc. plus I did the permanent ...
