snip.. I shall not condemn digital completely out of hand as one of my holiday presents was a very large Epson scanner. I am told by the donor that this will enable me to scan negatives and put them on a website, which is also part of the present. I shall wait patiently - I note that the scanner will even take my 8 x 10 negs as well as all the smaller sizes. Perhaps good will come of it. snip.. There you go. Next you'll be doing inkjet prints. Start down that slippery slope and it's all over. ;) Seriously, I have a Canon digital Rebel SLR (read: bottom of the heap price wise at the time) and it focuses and fires every bit as fast as any film SLR I've used and does it in very low light. Cannot compare the point and shoots with the DSLRs, especially the p&s cameras that put the image on the rear LCD in real time. ============================================================================================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
