The Sony F828 is not on store shelves yet. It's not a DSLR but it will probably be a great camera for the price. 8MP, a CZ T* zoom lens, and the same night photo capabilities of the F717, plus the ability to use CF cards and microdrives as well as Sony's proprietary memory stick. It could well

Yep, Lexar and others make USB2 6-in-1's. Right. I was merely pointing out that it's still pretty common to find slow USB versions, even in systems where you might expect something better (like my 3-month-old HP, which has built-in firewire, USB2.0, an 800Mhz frontside bus, support for the

I have had a couple of unreadable CD-Rs, but these have almost always been bargain-brand no-name blanks. So far (touch wood) I've had no problem with the Memorex 8x or 10x I use. They might cost a couple of cents more per gigabyte, but they're still dirt cheap - I remember when CD-R media cost

Hi David. The lenses you have would work with *istD, therefore, the lenses should stay. I think that quality of your MF camera would not be surpassed by *istD, so perhaps this should stay either. Then of course you could sell MZ-S and add funds for *istD and then optionally, if you feel more than

Not that I'm too bothered if the transfer takes half an hour. The only time I'm likely to care about speed is if I'm out in the field, when I will probably be loading onto my laptop using a PCMCIA adapter, which should be able to transfer a little faster. Actually if you want really good
