Hi Merv, all the bells and whistles are important but ultimately the quality of the photo is the prime importance. I found this site invaluable to compare the quality of pictures once you have narrowed down your selection.

Hi Merv I don't know what your criteria are but the most popular makes with professionals are 1. canon 2. Nikon. maybe 3. olympus. They have the best lenses. Pentax is not quite as good in my opinion. I assume you are buying a DSLR and not a compact. All would be compatible with Mac I

Hey John, Well I know Pentax were one of 'the' cameras to have numerous years ago so I figure they are the same in these current times. Big fan of the Canon's as I use them at work! :) At the moment I'm not actively looking as I've fairly broke (Got a new (second-hand) car two weeks ago!)

As others have said, its way simpler to take out the CF or SD card from your camera and upload the photos using a card reader. RAW files from new cameras are sometimes not immediately compatible with Snow Leopard, but there's normally only a short period when you might have to stick with JPEG

Sorry to slightly go off-topic but it is amazing to compare a newer DSLR compared to one of the first Pentax DSLR cameras (Early 90s), the changes in quality are huge! Can really see how compression seems to have developed over the last 10/15 years. As a result my friend now shoots in

Hi all I think most keen amateurs shoot in raw and then either convert to tiff or jpeg in Photoshop or in the software supplied with the camera. iphoto accepts raw from any camera but each brand has its own raw format. So maybe we'd better start up a photo group to avoid being off topic
