Don't know if its my server on this end or R, but here's take 2 on this. Well, finally made up my mind and bought my Canon G1 Friday. I've had wonderful fun with it all weekend--learning the ropes. Here's an image I was really pleased with. Won't bore you with settings unless you really want to know LOL. This is macro (without added lens--I have macro set on order), manual aperture, shutter, white balance, etc.--no flash. This is way reduced size (as I took at 2048 x) and jpeg compression at 30%, so you will most likely lose some of the detail. No post at all and I imported as RAW file, converted to .tiff--then resized and converted to .jpeg. I'm in LOVE with this camera *S*. BTW, its a foxglove in my garden--had just showered. Diane/picnic (I usually spend my time in Poser or Bryce, but you'll see me here more, I bet)
