Took the plunge and just bought my first DLSR. Could so far afford the
luxury of using cameras without slapping mirrors (my last camera was a
Sony R1).
Well, this slapping mirror is really an earthquake. When you press the

I've read that the life expectancy of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries can
be extended if they are kept cool, so I've thought that it might be a good
idea to keep them in the fridge when I'm not using them.
Anyone have experience with this, and any comments on whether it seems to

Recently, one of my people I know lost his digital camera during a Spain
trip. I have read and heard that image/photograph files can be traced

I am in the UK.  I would like to get a simple compact digicam that
records for longer than 10 minutes but I don't want to look for
something which I can't hope to find!
I seem to remember that in the UK a digital camera is not permitted to

I recently picked one of these up from Target for only $100. It seems ok for
its purpose, but I have a couple of questions as the "Manual" says little.
How do I discover what model it is (Can't find it on the camera anywhere).
It says "Charger built in"  Do I assume this is done ...

Just wondering - if a lens is not very sharp it acts essentially as a
low pass filter. If this analogy holds, applying some sharpening in
post-processing (essentially a high pass filter) should compensate for
the lack of sharpness of the lens, right?

What's the biggest SD card I can use in the G9?  All the literature I
can find says 2GB but the guy in the camera store says 16GB.
