Jack, didn't realize I had that one in there still! That's my brothers hand...he's a tattoo artist..just got that one for mothers day. I used a program to create the web photo gallery and it index'ed all the pics on the memory card...including that last one i took right after the show.  | ||

David--Depending on what you plan on doing with your pics, there's the option of getting a digital video camera that will take stills. I've got a Canon Optura and it's been great. It's not much bigger than most still cameras (decent ones) and it gives you the video option. Nick--great shots. BTW, who's hand is that in the last one, and what's the story there?! | ||

I got the Sony P5, I think about the same as the Cannon S30. I like the small size of the P5 and the memory sticks are up to 256 now and will be up to a gig within 1-2 years. I use the same memory sticks for my MP3 player. Amazing, right now I just have a 64 mgb stick and it holds around four hundered 640 by 480 resolution pics. Only thing I would recomend is to get at least 3 megapixels if you want photo quality 8.5 by 11 prints. | ||

Did anybody else notice that the red and black interior shot was on a YELLOW 328? Somebody had been overserved when they ordered that! | ||

Nick...thanks for the advise. I actually found the dpreview website last week and have been reading through. It's a ton of information. Thanks again. - David | ||

David, I did quite a bit of research myself. You can basically spend as much money as you want.....you can get one for $100 or $2000. I found a good site http://www.dpreview.com/ which reviews all digi cams. I thought the happy mediem for me was the Canon S30. It retails at around $500..not to bad. The S30 got excellent reviews on that site and I know several friends who recommended the S30 so I gave it a shot. No regrets yet, takes extremely nice pics. I was kicking myself when I got home and found that I didn't take these pics MAX compression. So the pics I took could have turned out even crisper. I was already happy with the quality before I realized this. (Not MAX compress) There is also an S40 which is the same cam but can take a little higher res pics along with some other small features. The Sony F707 a friend of mine has...and really I couldn't tell any difference between the quality of our pics...other then that his can take one at 2560 x 1920. Both very nice pieces. Good luck! | ||

Nick.....awesome pictures!! The cars look fantastic. May I ask what kind of camera you are using? I'm currently in the market for a digital camera and was looking at the Nikon Coolpix 5000 or the Sony Cybershot F707. Any recommendations? Thanks ps. The more I see lambo's, the more I want one!!! | ||
