Qustion about your G1. I have one and love it, but seems that my photos have a strange hue to them. They are all a little on the red side, and the video especially is very saturated. I don't know how else to describe it other than in the video they all look like clown colors, very bright and saturated. Maybe it's just my camera? What about yours? I usually use Adobe Photoshop to manipulate mine and can adjust for the off colors, but just wondering if anyone else had the same problem. colleen

In all honesty, I traded in my Canon G-1 Power Shot for a Minolta Dimage 7, primarily because I was dissatisfied with the way "hot colors" such as bright blue sky, were breaking down into a grainy pixelated look. I am getting much cleaner pictures with the Dimage 7, and at 5.2 megapixels, they are enlarging much larger while maintaining resolution. I did like the user friendly features of the Canon, and did get some terrific photos with it. However, I never used it in video mode, so I can't answer questions regarding problems with that particular application of the Canon.

Thanks for your response. Once you have your images in digital format, how do you get your prints made? Do you have your own printer or do you take them to a place to process? I'm still struggling with the printing output of digital photos - the best way to have the printed professionally, and does it look as good as neg or slide film? Colleen

Message for Coleen- Any good printer with which you can use photo copy paper, matte or glossy, will work good. They sell that paper at all office supply stores, and photo stores. You need someone to show you how to format it for your printer. Or you can get enlargements made at any custom photo place if you are going larger than you printer can handle. Ask friends who print their digital shots. You need to understand tif. vs. jpeg, and understand file size, etc. Get some lessons, and keep reading the great stuff on Better Photo.com. They have a special section on learning digital photography. Or ask you question to their inquiry dept, and they will probably post an answer on the website. Best wishes, Robert Picker
