decided to crawl out from under my rock and get into the 21st century and got me a digital camera:

Canon Powershot A620


Don't know too much about it besides the reviews and my budget but I've always had Canons and always enjoyed how the pictures came out. I'm just getting tired of scanning photos these days.

I hope that's not real-life size.

Mav,

Great! Yeah turns out that the A620 has a good following and pretty hefty in terms of your budget digi-cams with decent photographic options..can't wait to play with it.

Do you have any photos taken with it that I can check out? Have you developed any prints from it?

your pics are only as good as the weakest link... I hope you got a good printer to go along with that.

Mine is a canon pixma mp780 and the prints from the nikon 5.1 are better then from the ones we used to get back from the photo developer

Well, you can do that, but your best bet is to use iPhoto or, more likely, Photoshop Express ($99 still, I believe) to improve, crop to the proper size, etc. Then you burn a CD and take them to Wal-Mart or something for $0.19 prints.

Good choice! I just bought a Canon SD 600 for its more compact size. Canon has the best picture quality.

I've always been satisfied with Canon's. I own a few already..film..and they were just so durable and the photos were perfect. I'll have a better idea when I print some.

Dude, it's a sweeet camera. It fills the void between you're "point and shooters" and the more advanced manual sets (messing with f-stops, apertures, etc). I'm having so much with mine right now. Best part is I can practice all day with my 1 GB SD. Key will be how they look when developed.

I highly recommend the gimp

http://www.gimp.org GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program free, open source and very activly developed. There are also tons of turorials around. http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/ I'm using a Ricoh R4 which I love 28–200 mm (wide angle is quite nice), 6Mpixel and very small. http://www.letsgodigital.org/en/news...tory_6525.html

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
