I've been playing around with the 'photomerge' function in Photoshop
Elements, attempting to take a wide-angle-type view of a room.
Not having done this before, I stuck my camera on a tripod, which I then
levelled as best I could using the built-in spirit leveled) and then

The reference this in the article about their conventional 4/3rds
product.
It's only about 1/3 the speed of Panasonic's (1.2 second focusing time
versus 0.4 with kit lenses), which itself is close to DSLR speed.

I am considering moving to dslr from a 'bridge' style (Fuji S9000). I like
my Fuji a lot but it has finally developed the dreaded 'command dial' issue
(after waaaay more shots than most seem to have taken before it broke). I
shoot in some extreme conditions and am wondering how ...

justa started with a Sony A100 after years of  using a compact. I will be
using the camera for taking pics of the lad playing fotball amongst other
things and wondered what would be the best lens for say the other side of a
footy pitch? the camera came with the standard 18/70 ...

I'm trying to reduce the volume of camera related stuff that I haul around
with me when traveling.  I use a Nikon D80 with three different lenses
(30mm f1.4, 18-135mm F3.5, and 70-300mm f4.5). Each lens has a different
hood to go with it.

1.  They are outside of North America.  Very few people outside of
North American seem to have more than 2 dimes to rub together.
2.  They ask lots of useless questions, some clearly answered in the
ad.  Even with high rez pictures in the ad, they'll ask for more, so

Talk about crushing the price barrier in the medium format!!

I've used entry-level Olympus DSLRs in -20 weather for hours on end.
My D300 I used one night at -25C.  The only problems were that the
batteries got cold and the LCD got slow, but with a warm battery,
everything functioned perfectly. But then Arctic or Antarctic weather

It seems to be the first pro machine that uses SD cards instead.  The
Pentax K7 (semi pro) uses SD as well.

I have received a group of photos with captions in PDF format.  Is there
any way to extract this material as JPEG?
I have PSE 8, Adobe Bridge, Picassa and Graphic convertor 5.9.  
TIA

Seems to hang in ok until 200 ISO, then starts to hurt.  1600 & 3200
are a write-off.  IMO, these cameras are no better than the old bridge
P&S's with their bigger, better 2/3" sensors.

I recently bought an HD camcorder which also takes digital pix. (This
is my first time doing digital -- been shooting 35mm for 20+years.)
Where I get my film developed, a roll of 24 is $1 extra for 5x7s, vs
4x6.  To get 24 5x7 prints in digital, however, would cost upwards of
