Ignore (EOM)

Kristen,

On my camera you do everything under a ton of menus. I printed out the instructions and they were 205 pages. I take my pictures in what they call HQ JPG format and the average picture depending on background runs from750K to around 850K. I don't use the BMP format at all and for fun I took one picture with the TIFF format. Gads, that darn picture was 15 1/2 MBs in size. Would have been great if you were printing a poster. As for downsizing them to post, you can do that with the camera or a photo program, which is what I prefer. That way you can clean up the picture some if it is to dark or light or has other blemishes. I have 24 different settings for resolution in my camera.
Also can take moving pictures with it as long as the memory card lasts. About the only things I haven't tried are the moving pictures and sound options and also the panorama and two pictures in one options. My printer has slots for all the types of memory cards and sticks and I can look at the pictures with the printer and print directly from the card or send them to the computer or put them on-line. But my computer also has all the card slots in the front and I use them as it is so much faster. And remember, I just have a cheap camera. All of the high end ones have tons of stuff that mine doesn't but mine does what I want and that is good for me. I do miss the exchangeable lens and longer zooms, but can live with that.
