Question about these two photos:

Did you tweak the color saturation? The two folks in the fishing boat
are wearing a *very* orange hat and a *very* orange pfd- while the
wooded hill on the far side of the lake is a particularly vibrant shade
of green. Very nice shot, but I'm just curious if that's the default
setting for color sat- or not.

Ok, just because Kanter complained last time,

I only like pics of my mom!

That's a good question. I didn't tweak the colors - that's the way it
came out of the camera. However, I tweaked the sharpness a tad and
that seems to make things jump out at you.

That's one of the things I was talking about when I was talking about
having a full boat image processor built right into the camera - it's
a little hard to get used to.

connected to a GPS, 2 marine radio's, a fixed mount and walkie talkie, and
just about every other electronic toy out there, well one of these days I'll
buy a digital camera. One of the reasons I enjoy the threads about them
here.

I like using my HP R707 5mp camera for exchanging boat pictures with
other Sandpiper 565 owners. As they say...one picture is worth......

It took me a bit to get used to waiting for the auto focus to do it's
job. Both my Minolta SRT200 SLR and my Yashica'D' medium format camera
are fully manual......and yes, I still prefer manual focus!

Perhaps the thing I like most about the Nikon is that the auto focus, when I use
it, is almost instantaneous. The motor is built into the lens, and there is no
wait. That's even true of the Nikon 70-200 mm zoom.

The convenience is what finally got me to the point where I don't use the 35mm
at all anymore. It's so nice to take some shots and see them blown up on the
computer almost immediately. I have a Canon i960 printer that makes great
looking 8x10 prints, and it isn't the best printer out there. If I'm worried
about fading, I'll go to Costco and have the prints made there - 19 cents for a
4x6.
