Thanks for that great link, Peckish. I've got it saved in my Favorites now. All of the folks here on the board are the best!

I try to avoid changing the settings on my camera, because I don't always remember to change them back. You can easily resize your photos using your photography software.

I have a cannon powershot sx230 hs, and totally love it, not just for quilts! Its a little pricey, but has 14x optical zoom that is so amazing, I no longer carry the big camera around and it goes up to 56x digital (works well on a tripod). I can take close ups and see things I can't even see with my binoculars : )

As in all photography, it's not all about the camera. It's in learning how to use it to the best advantage. Not only lighting, and focus, but also picture composition make a difference between a so-so picture and a great picture. I agree with moreland above.

Now if someone would just come up with a way to convert all those expensive film-based cameras we all own to a good digital one...boy, could they make a killing!

I bought a Kodak Touch Screen camera, it's nice.
