A couple questions, and maybe a lively (Cynthia Lively?) discussion: I'm getting to the age where it is becomming very difficult to ask Santa for something I'd REALLY like for Christmas. I'm very happy with my analog e-bay second hand top-of-the-line analog Canon camera. Some of the features on the Minolta DiMage A200 seem really exciting. [As for the *real* professional Canon line, if I wait six months it will only get better, but perhaps still not quite as exciting as the "pro'sumer" line...] Socks are always welcome. But I digress... I saw at the local Fry's store a new Sony flat panel LCD monitor. It really looks slick; very bright. What I'm wondering is, how well do LCD monitors work for precision photographic work? Is color balance even possible? Or is it even more Zen than with a CRT? ____ "XBRITE LCD technology creates a new standard of exceptional picture quality inspired by high-definition television.
