Well...... I use an Olympus E20p digital camera but I'm certain that there are now better ones out there. Fuji do several good ones. Before I sold my film camera a started to shred my old negs I used a Nikon coolscan. It is a bit faulty and is no longer connected, but I still have it. I also have a flatbed scanner. It is an Epson Perfection 2450 Photo. This can be used for negs and slides and when I had my mf kit I used it to scan the films. As far as your pictures are concerned..... Well I'm no judge but beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Okay, my scanner is shot, my digi-cam is crap, my program is crappy, my pictures suck and somehow my JPGs get turned into GIFs somewhere between my computer and my server. (In my computer files the extensions are jpg.) So what digital cameras do all of you use? And what picture programs are the best? Also, what's the best scanner? Shyrell http://yadtel.net/~jmelara
