I have to admit to being tempted to switch to the
Olympus E-volt. I have recently seen specials of the
camera with 2 Zuiko lenses for about $800.

ce he wanted to keep
the item in this case it was a refund of over
$200 USD. I personally have never had a problem with
paypal, over a period of over 5 years.

That's because JPEG is JPEG, not because it's a
compression program.
Many compression algorithms exist that do not lose any
data. It's just that JPEG,

As for the image viewer, I use the Windows Image and

with all CD's, cables, and documentation as new, and

Kodak Pony 135 with a Kodak Anaston
f/3.5 lens and a manually cocked shutter in a leather
never ready case. I still have some slides I took with
it. It resurfaced a couple of years ago when clearing
out my mothers apartment after her death. She had
kept it all these years... thanks Mom.

Has there been any discussion on the next *istD having
the 7MP chip from the 750Z, or will they jump to 8MP
or more?

I am probably not as AR as

served me well. I cannot speak for your needs, but
just my own expience.

se of its range it has become my walking
around lens no mechanical or other problems,
including 3 trips to Ireland, so I can recommend it
without reservation. Only gripe, does not focus

PS7.
Also, I don't always know what the ultimate use of the
image will be, so again I try and get the best angle,
lighting, exposure, etc. that I can so I will have a
good baseline image to start with, no matter how I
ultimately use the image.

Among the working pros on the list, who have studios
and actually sell prints the 4000 and 7000 series are
most common, but these are really pricey... about 2K
to 7K but can print up to 40" wide...
n laws Canon ?I950? and it was very nice to
use and had excellent sharpness, but its BW had a

but I prefer a more neutral to cold BW.

I know about saving in RAW in the camera, but in PS
7.0.1 there is a "RAW" option when using "Save As"
does this have anything to do with using in camera
RAW? Sorry if this seems like a stupid question.

That f8 lens would be become an f16 with a 2X TC...or
is it f32, i.e. 2 stops?
Ignore the hardware elitists that take every

I saw in a local paper that a shop here in Houston is
selling the Nikon D100 body for $1,995. Is that a
good price or not? NO, I am not interested in buying
it but it seems to have features similar to the *ist
