Digital Camera vs. Good Scanner

[TerrysSPF]

Sizzler: You made some good points, thank you! The photo's that I'm talking about that are poor quality are pretty random (I don't want to mention names here!). They include some pictures that my sister sends me (so it's not just from peoples photo gallery here!). She has a Sony digital camera but I'm not sure how many megapixels it is (it's old though). Some people's photo's look awsome, while others you can barely tell what kind of car they have! I'm guessing it's more the quality of the camera vs. the photographer (although that may come into play). I plan on using a digital camera for internet only......I have a pretty good 35mm that I use for home photo's, but I do have a nice HP printer that's supposed to be able to print high quality photo's.
I guess I could use a scanner as well (boy.....this is getting expensive!). I have a lot of 35mm shots of cars I've owned in the past that I would like to include in my gallery. I'm sure you guys can't wait..........they're mostly Chebby's!! I did own a nice GT-350 back in the 80's, though (wish I still had it today! $$$). I just need to find the photo's
I took some photo's of my SPF the other day and had them put on a CD. When I bring them up directly from the CD to my PC, they look pretty good, but when I try and send them via e-mail, they get washed out. I'm sure that has more to do with AOL than anything else though. I hear they lower the resolution on purpose to make photo's easier to send! Ba$tards.
Ron: can I transfer the photo's from my CD to my gallery here on CC? Most everything you said on your previous post was greek to me.
