I love high definition
Cola:
Talking about high def, I just bought a new Fuji S3 pro digital SLR yesterday. Phenomenal images (12 megapixels) and the most advanced sensor design out there. I also bought this little screen colour calibrator made by Pantone and it suction cups to the screen and performs an auto calibration. Holy sh**. I have spent countless hours trying to calibrate my monitors and this is it. A hundred bucks of the best oney that I have ever spent.

How do you calibrate the other devices to get exactly what you want? I always get off colors from my pictures whether scanned of digital, maybe it is a monitor thing.
I recently broke out my old Nikon SLR since I bought my wife a 4 megapixel point and shoot, she complains it don't get close enough ... I broke out a 205 mm zoom lens to get in closer, not close enough ... added a matched multiplier (was popular in the 80's) and got 410 mm. I'll see how it goes now.
I would love to buy a high megapixel digital SLR but I usually don't take photos anymore except of family get togethers.

Hey Steve, I know you love photography; what photo software do you use? My son just bought himself a digital camera, took a pretty cool picture and won a first prize at our community fair...Which I thought was super since he only had the camera for 2 days!
I need ONE good program that can organize and burn my pictures cause I am sure I will soon be going into photo overload.....Any suggestions?

I read a review of your Fuji and it indeed seems to be a nice camera. I'd be interested to hear how the "simulated film" modes work.
Fuji has always been known for great white balance in their DLSRs and I assume this body is no exception.
I was a little supprised to read it has a 1.5 crop factor. I would have expected their camera with that advanced sensor to be full frame!
Any way, I'd really like to hear how you like the fim modes. Better yet, post some shots!
Cheers

Although I don't spend a lot of time editing digital photos I have used a few photo suites over the years. One I'm using right now is called Serif Photoplus 6. It's free (google serif) and it has some of the normal features. I also have used HP software and like the panoramic feature of it.
I have used MGI photosuite and had a program called Powergoo. Even tried those $10 discs from Staples. I have to say although I'm not a fan of Microsoft products I would like to try their photo editing software.
I think it depends on what you're looking to do. Years ago someone gave me the Adobe photo software and I didn't like it. My suggestion would be start off with a freebie (or cheapie) and look in the paper for Compusa or simular adds. Over the years I have been able to get free software with rebates.
