>1.) Is digital photography better than film photography? It's definitely quicker. >2.) So, how does this thing work? The ways and wherefores are beyond us mere mortals. But to operate it, push the button. >3.) If I use this camera, will I go blind? Only if you photograph the sun. >4.) What's the capital of South Dakota? I have no idea. What's the capital of California? Do you know that one? >5.) Who was the guitar player on "Whiter Shade of Pale?" It seems I should know this. But that was long ago and far away. >6.) If I try real hard, can I put film in the camera? Sure. But then you'll have made it a film camera. Ergo, it will no longer work as a DSLR. (Or as anything else, for that matter. Maybe a doorstop. Or a bookend.) >7.) When I get finished reading the manual, will I be able to play the piano? Maybe if you can play the piano on it if you stick a Muvo in it. >8.) If I take a picture in RAW format, import it into Photoshop, and adjust the image size correctly for a usable print, will I see God? God (Goddess) is in everything. So, sure. If you believe in God (Goddess), that is. >9.) Do I have to give up my membership in the Real Photographers Guild? They probably revoked it long ago. Long, long ago. >10.) Is a family in Rochester NY now going hungry because of me? Yes. >11.) Will my desk now become organized? No. >12.) Will women now find me attractive? No. But they may find you funny. Humor has also been known to work. >13.) Does anything rhyme with "eucalyptus"? Possibly. >14.) Can I ask random people for spare Compact Flash cards? Only if they are the kind who carry them around in their rolled up T-shirt shelves. That kind (usually with bulging muscles) always seem willing to share. Seems sort of contradictory, going against stereotype. But there you are. Or possibly they're just dumb. >15.) How does the Infield Fly Rule work? Is this a sports reference? THAT'S OT!!!
