The 'Easy Photo' software included with my Canon printer will print 1, 2, or 4 images on A4 or 6 x 4" size paper, & also do an index print on A4 of 20, 48, or 80 thumbnails.

I believe other image viewer programs, such as irfanview will do index print.

Have to disagree on this point - yeah dollar for dollar, a regular slr will create better images. But the high-end digi's come so close and can even exceed, the quality of slr's. The following link is where I got my info from:

141108 2003-05-04 05:23:00 u may be rite. if u use a high end slr 35mm they still will be better like the Nikon F5 or F100. u will not be using thr camera's full potential due to the size of the mem card. how many tif 6MP images can u store on one mem card? mem cards are expensive... nomad (3693)
141109 2003-05-04 05:41:00 i believe there is always gonna have this debate between 35mm and digi.
they are 2 separate markets and are complimentary to each other.

my household has a Canon SLR 35mm. My next cam's probably gonna be a Nikon D100 (digital) then a F100 35mm. The quality is close but due to the sensor size 35mm can be enlarged a lot bigger - like wedding and reunion photo's to be framed.

141110 2003-05-04 06:26:00 only problem ive had with my digital camera is the inability to take pics of moving objects,and seeing as we do a lot of motorsports then the camera was almost redundent on the day of purchase.

Im led to belive this has been improved but not cured on more recent cameras.

141111 2003-05-04 06:32:00 That depends entirely on the camera. A decent digital camera will have a sports mode just like any decent SLR. There is maybe a second delay when you first activate it, then it constantly updates focus, f.stop, shutter speed etc so that it is ready to take a photo instantaneously. Iain Walmsley (3372)

Sounds good,i might have to take another look into it.Last time i went into a camera store and told them i wanted a digital camera that would take instantaneous shots they said it couldn't be done as of yet and the best model they could get still had a very slight delay.

Btw,Our camera is about 3 years old i guess,and was bought at a duty-free store at sydney airport,........an impulse buy.....

141113 2003-05-04 07:05:00 My digicam (Fujifilm S602Zoom) will take fast sequential shots, suited for sporting events.

It will take 5 a shot sequence in one second, or continuous shots at about 2 per second for 20+ shots before pausing to save to memory card.
Also does up to 30 minutes video at 25 fps.

Initial picture delay is very short, boot-up time is about 4 seconds though. Normally you would leave it on, as it will go into a fast response "sleep" mode. You need a spare set of AA rechargeables (or Alkalines)

I GB CF memory card plus 32 MB MartMedia memory cards on board.

141114 2003-05-04 07:12:00 nikon coolpix 5700 should do what ur after . is 1/4000 sec enof :D aperture to about an 8 from a 2 . 8 or so . 35-280mm lense
the CP 5000 is similar but a weaker lense (28-85) .
D100 of course is nice . US has these for $3knz, NZ for upto $4 . 5k - crazy . less than 3k if its a jap import with no nz warranty . the 3k is a usa model so they do give u a 1yr intl warranty .

www . dpreview . com

yeah . . duty free is nice or give someone a list when they travel!

u got get lense attachments like macro and telephoto that enhances ur lense .

141115 2003-05-04 08:49:00 I agree with Susan B. Digital cameras are the greatest fun since sliced bread. Get one that's small enough to tote around (slip into a shirt pocket) all the time; not too small so that all the controls are too fiddly. You can take every shot that tickles your fancy, and get rid of it when it turns out to be not a great masterpiece.

I've had one for a couple of weeks. 6 days after I bought it a couple of hoods had their car parked over a pedestrian crossing. I asked them to move - to no avail. I went over the other side of the road and took a photo of them in their car. They screamed off like scalded cats - very funny.
