Although I have been trying to use Gimp for quite some time to enhance
digital photographs it is only recently that I have begun to realise how
powerful a piece of software it really is. Photography has been a hobby
of mine for over 50 years but it is only in the last week or so that my

Norman, first of all, you should decide, how quality photos would you
like to have. You have 2 options:
1. Digital camera . Pros: small weight and dimensions, built-in lens can
have a range zoom, video. Contras: Low image quality, high noise at any
ISO over 100-200, no control over depth of

Note, these prises are without lens. The cheapest kit lens cost about
100$ shipped with the camera. Nikon's one is more expensive due to more

16-80 (set in turn both of price and quality). Nikon and Canon have

Canon 5D main advantage is full frame. It is not cropped. So in features
it is weaker than 30D or 40D, but image quality is higher.
Did you do a comparison of 5D vs. 40D?

So you see, I am not a newcomer to photography and I am well aware of
the problems with dust etc especially with SLR cameras. As I said in my

Norman, there are several possibilities for you. First, you can stick to
50 mm prime and use it most of the time. It is light, very qualitative
and fast (F1.4) or 1.7. Second, you can buy light slow zoom such as
18-200 (26-300 in 35 mm equivalent) and use it all of the time. It
provides less
You sure discovered a nice little subculture on the Gimp mailing list,
Norman. Here are some of my thoughts.
In my opinion, if you are just interested in getting a raw image out of
the camera, buy a low-end DSLR and spend as much as you can afford on
glass. I have a Canon 350d and a 1d Mk IIn.
Hello Norman,
I will be adding my opinion to the growing pool. The Canon G9 was already
suggested earlier and it might well be a good solution for you. It is a light
compact camera, produces RAW and has a hotshoe if you want to use a flash. In
addition it has image stabilization, which might

I'm sure I read there is a professional version of The Gimp which

You might be thinking of Cinepaint which was based on an early version of
