Juan,
You don't have to rename or disable iPhoto to have the system do
something else. Run the Image Capture application and go to its
preferences. You can set the system to auto-open iPhoto, Image
Capture, any other application you desire, or do nothing.
iPhoto is too slow for the volume of photographs I work with and
doesn't allow me to catalog off-line collections, but it's
useful for occasional stuff and making quickie books. The new
version looks very interesting. I've sent an enhancement request
with a list of cameras I think they ought to support ... the
*istDS first on that list, of course. ;-)
The Mac mini is about the same performance envelope as my
current iMac 20". This is proving satisfactory for my current
workflow and production requirements. The neat thing is that I
could buy a Mac mini and a nice 23" Cinema display, keyboard and
mouse, and then upgrade to a G5 tower when I need the additional
power seamlessly, without having to reinvest in yet another
monitor. Or my partner (currently running WinXP) can buy a Mac
mini and have a solid Mac OS X workstation for only $600 or so
while re-using his USB keyboard, mouse and nice DVI monitor.
This is all upside!
