I recently tried that "Phone sex" I hear people talking about. It was horrible, just horrible. First, I got tangled in the cord. Then, I got banned from the Wal Mart phone aisle.
I wish this light bulb issue would be a matter of individual choice rather than being "mandated" by idiots in Washington.
And to further show how stupid they are...CF bulbs contain Mercury, a highly toxic substance. The small print on the box says evacuate the room if you break one. I can just see the landfills now leaking this toxin into all our lakes and streams. Not only that, they work pourly with dimmers. Mine lasted about 10 seconds on a dimmer then burned out, so I refuse to use CF bulbs anymore...switching to candles.

I use CF's for all my lighting due to energy savings, but as stated, they do not work properly on dimmers.
im new to digital photography ,need info as to how to resize my photos for prints. file size 2.8 mb-width 2858 x hight 1643-- dpi 350 to print at 11x16 . thanks chuck
If you are using Photo Shop, you can resize your file when saving. I normally shoot in large format and keep it that way so your image quality is not compromised. Any lab will auto reduce to print size required.
I'm going to second this advice...the evidence shows that image quality is most improved by lenses and not bodies. And bodies go out of style but a good lens can be used virtually forever.
Or, you could buy a good camera and good lenses.
Define "good camera". There are many. To me, having a full-frame camera is not necessarily better than a crop camera. The industry and pricing has clouded our perception.
Concurring with this concept. I have Nikon D3100, D80 and 7000 and there is almost no difference in quality between the DX and full frame. I now use the D3100 for most of my outdoor shooting because it's smaller and lighter. I use the 7000 for indoors and portraiture.
Also, Lens are the most important as many people have said. Especially if you are a beginner, spend your big money on Lens first. If you are going Nikon then the VR kit lenses are more than adequate (18-55 and 55-300 MM VR). Once you get going you can then add a prime lens for portraiture and low light situations.
I'm attaching a photo taken with my D3100 a few months back so you can see the quality.
