I read in FFW last night yet again the reservation about the shutter delay but at least you point to a good way around it.

http://www.frogprints.co.nz
and print off the Help Index articles, I ran off about 13 pages and it gives you all the basics in a compact form.
steves-digicams.com plus http:
are both good sites providing you have the time and patience to assess the information offered against what you want to achieve.
Don't forget buying the camera is'nt the end of the spending you will need another bigger memory card, spare batteries, case for the camera, possibly a card reader. Assume your computer has USB and plenty of spare hard drive space, photos can chew up a lot of space. My initial problem was that batteries were drained flat very quickly, NiMH batteries take about 5 charges and discharges before they are adjusted to give a full charge.

182946 2003-10-15 00:38:00 Got a copy of "Get the most from your Digital Camera" written by a very modest Rob Clarke. At first glance it appears to answer all the questions I have. Handy papaerback published by Random House and a real snip at $34.95.

Thanks for all the posts, a real help.

182947 2003-10-15 03:32:00 The best book I have seen on this topic is "The Digital Photographers Handbook" by Tom Ang. If you are looking for a book that is jargon-free and demystifies the technical aspects of conventional and digital photography, this is the one.

Tom Ang is the Senior Lecturer in Photographic Practice at the University of Westminster, London. He has worked as a technical editor and picture editor. His photography has been widely exhibited and he contributes regularly to magazines.

Out local library has a copy so I guess you could request it on interloan, and it's also available from Amazon. Try Boarders in Auckland.
