BTW, if you did want to travel with a digital camera, check out if photo developing shops or camera shops will just download your memory card to a CD for you. If you carry a couple of memory cards you should be able to regularly download at convenient points in your travels.

85763 2002-10-04 11:57:00 thanks, I think i will stick with a good quality 35mm SLR. Digital is not up to it, more expensive camera, more expensive processing, memory too pricy to buy more ... May get a crappy 2/3MP like a CP 885 or so as well... for socialising. I am not impressed that the $6k D100 is actually a $1k F80.

Its for travel also weekeneds using for landscape photography. Each time I will be taking high reso... I luv to take TIFF but this is impossible for the memory card of any size. A Nikon 35mm film scanner like a coolscan IV/4000 series is tempting. So I can scan high quality negatives off my F100 straight into my laptop.

85764 2002-10-04 21:28:00 Having to visit a shop is not a good option. Since I tend to travel to country side, village side of the country. The outskirts .... thus camera shops is only a couple and I would not even bet on the idea they have digital imaging. rayonline (2134)
