I was kinda curious what the two dots above the 'A' mean, in Rita
Berkowitz's middle initial. I've never seen that before...

There is no way a 0.76 megapixel image can provide any useful information about the relative merits of a particular camera. It's just like watching those ads for high-definition on my standard definition TV; if it actually looks good in the ad, then who needs hi-def? If it looks good at sub- 1Mpixel, who needs 12.1? Yet you continue to wank lo-res pix from hi- res cameras in public, because you're too cheap to rent a $5/month host? And if your work is just too precious for "the general public", who do you think you're trying to convince on a rec. newsgroup? As you point out, you're not looking to share, you're looking for an audience. Well, BRAVA, Mrs. Berkowitz, take a friggin' bow, as you've demonstrated that you can buy cameras with the best of them. Happy 2008! --Gene >> Stay informed about: Machine Gunning The D3 At 1000mm!!
