Whats the difference between hardware resolution and optical resolution?
Which should i look for to make like for like comparison?
E.g. Epson Perfection 1670:
Photoelectric Device

I want to convert a lot (100's) old 35 mm photos/negatives/slide to digital
1/ I understand there is a scanner that can do it - but there are too many
to do one photo at a time & line them up - so it needs to be designed for
the job

For years I used Minolta cameras (X700).  I used Vivitar Series 1 lenses on
my Minoltas (28-80 & 80-200).
Recently I moved to Digital SLR and, since Konica-Minolta is no longer in
the camera business,  purchased a new Nikon D40.

I have access to commercial colour copier/scanner at work - but I notice
negative scanners have special clips that hold about 6 negatives at a time
is there anything to stop me just putting a strip of colour negatives
directly onto the glass & setting it to transparency?

I have a collection of figures I want to take digital images of and
then post on a website.
I want the user to be able to rotate around the images (3D) as well as
be able to zoom in and out.  A huge bonus would be to add labels.

A while back we exchanged some pelican images.
Got any ducks?

His reply when someone asked what a white balance lens cap is.
"I have no idea what White Balance Lens Cap is. So I would say if you don't
know what it's then I would suggest to spend more time to improve what you
know and want to know more."

I have been trying to photograph a sunrise with my Fuji S5200 (so,so
results.)  I would like to buy a graduated ND filter and a polarizing
filter and try this with the lenses stacked, with the darker portion
of the ND at the top.  Would this improve my chances?

Greetings Folks,
Just a quick note about the EXIF info of the full-size dinosaur image on my
site:

I'm probably missing somethnig really obvious here, so bear with me please,
I'm something of a novice.
I was shooting today outdoors in bright sunny conditions.
I was on Apperture Priority mode with ISO set to 100, the apperture locked

I have a small photography show in a local non profit gallery. I'm
unlikely to have another, so I've made a quirky virtual gallery of it.
The images are from the gallery. It's rough around the edges but mostly
it's there.

I am writing this message for my sister, who has volunteered to
photograph our niece's wedding.  She is a marvelous amateur
photographer, uses a Canon Digital Rebel and gets amazing shots.  The
niece is paying for the wedding herself and is on a tight budget, so
