    Should I push for this camera?

    I really like my 17-55 lens for taking every day shots. 55mm is just about "neutral" in terms of depth (with 17 being closer to "wide" and 200 being more like "Tele". The 17 will be good around the house and for your daughter. It will be good for taking well blocked urban stuff, but not good at...

    Which Salt???

    We've always used Reef Crystals. The alk seems a bit high and the PH a bit low. We're going to be switching over to Tropic Marin. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Skimming wet.

    Very small turns (1/8 a turn). There should be plenty of ground between no-skimming and wet-skimming. You just need to do it slowly. Start dry and work your way up with a very small smidge of a turn once every hour or so.

    The New Tank Has Started!

    Can't you adjust that to closer to 10K, if you wanted to?

    Should I push for this camera?

    The thing that 10.2 buys you over 6.1 is the ability to crop your pictures. So say you get a great shot of your daughter (or fish) from a distance that would make the perfect 8x10 if you were able to just crop it down some... Well with the 10.2 you have that ability. With the 6.1 that ability...

    Should I push for this camera?

    Looks like the 18-55 is just DX (they don't make an 18-55 VR). The 55-200 comes in either VR or non-VR, so that's a tough call as to whether or not they'd be including the VR in the package. I'd be surprised, since they're usually more expensive. If I were you, I'd get D40 with the 18-55 (559)...

    Very clear, but too blue (white balance is off) and too dark.

    Then you don't have your camera set properly. Can you post an image that hasn't been manipulated *at all*?

    You didn't resize the image to post it here? If you resized it what software did you use?

    June 2007 Meeting- Saturday June 30th (Marlboro)

    The RSVP screen seems to be working well so far. When you use that screen to RSVP it keeps track of your response and lets you edit it later so that you can either unregister if necessary or you can update your comments (to list what food/beverages you plan to bring along to the meeting). If...

    NJ reef club Frag pack.

    If you're interested in Millis then you'll need to make arrangements with BillyR to meet him at his house and take a look around.

    Help with Pixelation

    Tom, when you're resizing them in your output software you've got the Quality set too low. You need to up that to closer to 80 (looks like it is around 50 right now). It is probably coming out of the camera OK.

    NJ reef club Frag pack.

    Depends on what you're interested in purchasing. Right now most of the Milli is in BillyR's tank. Most of the Digi in mine (though I suspect Billy has his share). You can either go shopping or you can request certain pieces for delivery at the meeting.
