One OT comment (and I apologize for being so off topic here). I save pictures in JPG rather than raw (TIFF). I can blow them up with no apparent loss quality reduction, but get file sizes on the order of 1.1MB per 3.3MP shot, which expands the flash card capacity rather substantially. Assuming your camera has a similar feature, have you noticed the impact of lossy compression on prints? I've never converted to prints, so can't tell, but I have compared the JPG to raw and, honestly, even blowing the thing up they both looked about the same resolution (and both were great). I use JPG not because of file size, but because the write time is faster for the smaller file, so I can take pictures faster. Regards, Steve P.S. Just to keep on topic, SNDK up 16% right now!
