I've never heard of Zeikos and figured it was mostly junk. Saw the body only at B & H for $899.00. If I get that, will need to figure out the best lens. This camera will be for my son. He will graduate from HS in May, and wants a really good camera. He's forever taking my T1i!

I have the series. Forty bucks is a good price.
My suggestion: There is so much info in those books, it would be a good idea to take detailed notes as you read through.

Will probably use little sticky notes and highlighters!

I have several of Scott's books and really enjoy them, you might try amazon and look at the used books, I've saved lots by buying used so far all have been like new.
Just ordered vols. 1,2, and 3, of his Digital photography books, used, for $40. and change, and that includes the shipping. That's from Amazon

On my monitor, I had to look really close to see the color in his eyes. You may want to bump up the color just a tad so you can tell at first glance his eyes are in color. (and he's a cutie!)

This is really more than I would want to spend, but if it's a good deal, I may could stretch!

When you say "a lot", how many pics are you talking about? 100-200 or the card being completely full?
Dec 20, 2011 15:11:53 #
I have never downloaded my pics from the card. I did not know it could damage the camera. What happens??

-----OK...That is some totally weird stuff (i was going to use another "S" word, but some people....) anyway, what were you smoking that nite??This is nice. Throw some filters of your liking and to the degree you want and see what you get. There are so many different versions of the same image that can create totally different states of mind if you will. This first one may be disturbing to some.

Yep...posted a large version of it. I think I played around with the saturation in PicNic a bit, but that was all.
