    You were the reason I went and got one - your Thread was the inspiration.

    Thanks, Jeff image I hope you don't regret it. Are you looking for a macro lens now?

    I think I'm going to buy the Rebel XTi first. I've been borrowing my wife's Camera (the Powershot SI2 I got her for Christmas 2 years ago)

    I've also been debating trying to muy the Canon 100mm Macro lens first from eBay (and the buy the camera) Both together is a whole lot of $$$ at one time. The macro might also work on the point-and-shoot so I cn try it first.

    Not sure what to do.

    I'm just really happy (but not completely) with my current pics - they are a remarkable improvement over my old ones... (from my Sony 1.3MP from six years ago)

    I use the RemoteCamera software with my wife's Powershot SI2 and I can see the focus and avoid the shake - that seems to help alot already...

    Frankly, the Ott's are somewhat akin to PS cameras. There's no learning curve per se in fiddling with WB, F-stops, etc.

    Me? I'm leaving all imaging to MG until I decide to upgrade my old tech. camera.

    BTW, nice colours on that taler.image

    Roman,

    If you haven't tried the RemoteCapture software with your Canon, it's awesome. Works through the USB cord and you can see the focus, etc. And the 'Release' has a couple second timed delay.

    I'm using it with the wife's Powershot SI2


    DARN THOSE COOKIES LOOK GOOD.

    Jeff, being on Windows Vista I wasn't able to get it to work when I tried it. I should try it again, perhaps they released updated software.

    I installed it on my new Acer Laptop with Windows Vista. I think I also downloaded the update.

    Actually, I found the entire software package online (that was a difficult) but it works on Vista!
