Wow, thanks Patrick.

Often what we do is take our pictures, DL them to the PC and take them to get printed.  Then if we find a picture we like, we'll play with that and enlarge or crop etc. and print that out on our canon 5000 something photo printer.


If I shoot RAW will I be adding extra steps in there?  I like the fact that I'll have more information to tweek the picture in the box (PC).

In reading the popphoto article, it seems like the best bet would be to shoot in RAW + JPEG.  I'll get the instant gratification of having the JPEGs to bring and be printed and I'll have the RAW file if I capture a special picture.

I'll have to play around with the camera.  I'm still mostly using it in full auto.

It's definitely time soon to replace our digital camera... 1.3mp Olympus... we've had it since 1999.  Great images, but only 1.3mp, and slow shutter speed is an issue.  It's hard to replace something still working that you paid $700 for.

Our digital Elph developed the fatal memory card error.  We had made the decision to get the XTi already anway.  I found a site that explained how to take it apart and reset it.  It involved removing the cover and taking out the internal button battery.  It works great now.  It's nice to have the point and shoot and the DSLR.  It's also good that they're both canon and can share the canon zoombrowser and upload software.

Now I want the 70-300 is lens,  ;)

ChadTower:

I definitely dont' want another camera in that price range... I was always aware of how much I paid for the damn thing and how easily broken/stolen it would be, and that's a pain when you have something with you a lot.  I'll be perfectly happy with a really well working high megapixel point and shoot.  I'm way out of the loop on what the current best models are, though.
