Like the Apple ad for their first digital camera, which was a piece of crap and made pictures that were no good at 2x3 inches! The ad in the magazines were all superb.

Where do you get the impression that JPEG destroys it? Where do you see JPG artifacts in my pictures? Sure, blow them up real big, and they get jaggie, but the tonal modulation is also destroyed at that size. Enjoy Marakkesh.

I think if all we do is flex our "spending" muscles to prove what great equipment we bought, and not pictures that mean something to us, well, we're pretty dang boring. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch IRS: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
