I've mentioned before that I teach a "how to use your new digital
camera" class at the local community college.

The requirements are to show up, bring your camera and bring the manual.

I see a great cross section of the brands.

I find it frustrating that out of a dozen brands of cameras, there are
at least six ways to set the image size and compression.  The
terminology used by each manufacturer is completely different.

A relatively recent model had over 24 "special scene" modes.  I'm not
sure how that could really be helpful, but I'm sure it looked great in
an advertisement.

I've been helping people use their cameras since the late sixties and
it's never been more difficult.

See you later, gs
