Nice one Google.

You might notice the odd broken image in my posts until service is resumed.

I don't have a studio but I have plenty of studio kit. I just rent or borrow space when I need it.

Thank you.

At the risk of coming over all pedantic. "Interpolation" is the process of adding points and it more generally associated with making images larger. Reducing an image size is more correctly referred to as "sampling".

There. That's made me no friends.

The pics look fine now.

Picasaweb gives you more control over how you let people link to your pictures than many sites. You can link to different sizes and give access to pictures inside private albums without people seeing all the pictures.

Once you're used to it. It's no bother and very useful.

If we're thinking flight in broad terms...

I've just thought of another handy addition: GPS location in the EXIF data.

The more you cram photo sites into small sensors, the more you pick up lens distortions and the harder the sensors have to work (which increases noise). I would prefer a larger sensor but I don't expect it will happen - at least not at this price level.

A 4GB SD card gives me around 280 shots in RAW. I don't see much advantage in holding two SD cards. After I've shot 280 images, I like to swap cards and start transferring one to a PC.

I would be more interested in a WiFi connection so I can shoot for hours and the pictures get transmitted to my laptop automatically. You could also get an almost instant big-screen review.

Other than that, I find it hard to fault for my needs.

An unusual problem, I think.

I've used several SD and SDHC cards without problems.

Bad luck.
