Not much aside from a slight tweak to white balance and some sharpening/noise reduction.

Well, my little Canon G9 is gone. My wife either accidentally left it at Staples last Saturday afternoon, or it was lifted from her purse. No luck with lost and found at at Staples or any of the places we've been since then. The case was clearly marked with my information, too.

Now I need to replace it. The G11, despite being a more versatile camera in low-light conditions, doesn't have the MP or the zoom that the G9 had...which is a big negative for me.

Don't know what I'm going to do.
 
BTW, I'm think of getting into the DSLR game, if anyone has upgraded I would be interested in your older model.
 
I have a Canon 30 D sitting here getting no use and it takes wonderful pics. Not sure what it's worth but I'd be happy to give you a killer deal.

You could get a kit lens real cheap on Ebay and go to town.
 
Yeah...

Call me when that word in the background comes into focus for this team.

?, Are USB cables compatable w/ all cameras? Especially if it has one of those big round thingies on them? What is that for?

That looks like a conon one. I never use the usb cord, I just have a $15 memory card reader instead. Way faster.

Most manufatures have standard mini B type connectors (the one in your picture), a few use the micro USB, and some are A-holes and use their own, but most use the standard mini B.

The big round thingy is an RF filter. It helps eliminate interference which might hamper communication between the computer and what ever the cable is connected to.
 
Nikon Help

So my wife needs to purchase a few Nikons for her work (through a purchasing agreement they have it has to be Nikon). All the DSLR stuff and lenses I am up to speed with, but I am totally out of touch with compact line. I am looking for something small (I think coolpix), I would like the lowest pixel density and fastest lens available which hopefully has good resolution. No concern about pixel count, a reasonable fast processor / AF a definite plus. Thinking Coolpix S640 as it has max aperture of f/2.7, any thoughts?

Thanks for the help,
Sam
