A lot of the fun/pain of digital photography for many people is
interface dominated. The same is true for film cameras with
computerized controls. If the interface of that really nice camera
doesn't jive with the way you think, or controls you use all the time
are buried in layers of menues

I've canoed the Buffalo Bayou route that Sleaze describes many times, and I can
report on another abundant predator in and about the Bayou. I'm a Floridian by
birth, and there's not a place in the lower 48 (even Texas) that is better turf
for a diversity of snakes than the Sunshine State.

I agree...using photoshop is neither good or bad. It is just another tool for
creating images.

they were stunning. They were executed with a sound understanding of

immediately bought a 2G card for it. Although I don't go caving anymore for a
variety of reasons, I find the camera lightweight, easy to handle and

* Canon has less sensor noise at high ISO.
* Canon has more IS, image stabilized, lenses available.
* Canon has more of the big glass. Witness how many white lenses are on the cameras at sporting
I'd like to throw my opinion in on this subject -
I think low sensor noise is even MORE important than density. (i.e. high
number of pixels)
It seems to be frequently left out of specifications and 8 megapixels ain't
jack if they're noisy!
I have a reasonable Leica lensed Panasonic camera which

Once upon a time, when I was still in-school, we had a small ground penatrating

What we saw was that the ground we surveyed was solid for about 30 feet, but

That doesn't seem like much fun. Wouldn't that take all the mystery and
