Re: Nikon vs Canon

**Steve Diver s*@ncat.org**

Thanks for sharing that Digital Photgrapy Review
web site, Larry.

I should note that I incorrectly labeled the camera
I had mentioned.

It is Canon PowerShot S2 IS......    (not 2S IS)

It so happens that the dpreview.com web site
currently features the Canon S2 IS. 

That's neat how you can compare digital image
quality and read technical specifications at
dpreview.com.

In addition to good quality images for PowerPoint,
some of the point and shoot digital cameras offer
good quality images for web pages and online articles.

I mention good quality because there is a certain
level that makes a big difference when you are
teaching workshops and projecting to a large
audience, or writing for an online audience.
