Cool! I look forward to seeing them!

Mine (a Fuji DX-10) ran $200; I got a special offer for a USB memory reader free
(by post, took 5 weeks) and bought an 8MB memory card (it comes with a 2MB--way
too small) and AC adapter (digital cams eat batteries, my yes) from buy.com for a
total of $50. A tripod, essential, because flash really glares off LEGO bricks,
ran another $20 at Target. So for $280 including tax I got a complete camera
package, and it does a decent enough job. The lighting in my basement is truly
awful.
A lot of the real improvement of images comes through IrfanView, however--a great
little shareware programme (I can't remember who turned me on to it, though).
Gamma Correction forever!
