Thanks, Ian. I did look at the photo gallery a few days ago and saw some very interesting photo art from many of the members of this site. I do maintain a photoblog.You can see my pics at http://www.kelsci5.blogspot.com/

Thanks for the link to your blog - interesting to see your experiences with various different cameras

I remember the Sony S85 - circa 2001? It produced bright punchy colours, possibly a bit over-saturated for some tastes, but better to be this way and be able to tone them down rather than not have the punch at all.

If you use the gallery here on DPNow, you have a chance of being selected for Picture of the Day (no promises though! ).

We have features around 50 photographers in the last ten weeks.

Hi Ian; You are right about the year of the S85. My late girlfriends's niece paid 700 clams for this unit at that time. For their needs it does them fine. I feel the camera takes a highly accurate color picture under most weather conditions from the pics that she and her husband have shot. Of course they e-mail me 640X480 but for that size of which from what I understand that is the size of what they are shooting with that camera and the results that they are getting that I am seeing, I think that camera must be quite capable. In fact, tests done on that unit on some testing sites found that to be so too at that time.

I am considering using the gallery for some of my pics on DPNOW as well. I also have updated my profile. I have many prints from years back taken on the Minoltina 35mm and that Vigilant 620 that would have to be scanned but whether I will ever get to that to that I do not know. In actuality, I am slowly transferring my vhs videos to dvd, almost all of which are in linear and hi-fi stereo sound. When these videos are played back through a good matrixed circuit(passive or active) the audio is in surround sound.

Thanks Ian.
