I've been a digital photographer for the past 3 years, and, before that, I
only shot 35mm film that was very straightforward to load.  Now, however, I

I have several old photo post cards of the town I grew up in that were taken
in the early 1900's.  There are no markings on the card to identify who shot

I have one on order through my local camera shop - but am thinking about
abandoning my wait and ordering the new 70-300 VR lens instead.
Any insight would be much appreciated

Can anybody suggest a good book for this camera. I've read the manual
several times through, and I'd like to have a little more
camera-specific info.
Thanks!

I'm looking for suggestions / experiences with online photo hosting
sites - not like pbase, but sites catering to professionals who want to
sell photos online.  I.e., they host & handle fulfillment, you get paid.

made that transition from optical to non optical.  I wonder how that
