newbie

HI All
I have just bought my first dig camera, a Fuji f610.
Now the questions
1 Did I buy the right camera
2 Is the software that came with the camera the best to use or should I use
something else
3 Are there any online sights that will teach me how to get the best from
digital photography.

Thanks in advance
Allan

Er, it's a bit late for that now

2 Is the software that came with the camera the best to use or should I

Depends on what you want to do. For editting pictures I prefer Paint shop
pro and Adobe Photoshop

Try www.google.com and search on digital photography tutorial, or lessons,
or tips, I'm sure you'll get results.

Thanks in advance

What software came with it? There is always better software, such as
Adobe Photoshop, but you may not need something like it.

Apparently you did, something about this camera made you buy it so i would
say yes you made a good choice.

2 Is the software that came with the camera the best to use or should I

There are always better programs, try ACDSEE trial
http://www.acdsystems.com/english/Pr...LAN=englishX70
its a great basic program for transfering and a little bit of editing and i
think its the best at viewing.

3 Are there any online sights that will teach me how to get the best from

All the major ones ie... www.pbase.com and www.photo.net will teach you
alot but i prefer smaller ones for learning they are more personal my fav is
http://www.photo-sense.co.uk/sense/news.php .


Good Luck

Sure! Any modern camera will provide good results if
you learn to use it.

2 Is the software that came with the camera the best to use or should I use

You didn't tell us what came with the camera.

If you want to view photos, Irfanview is a superb free Windows viewer.
If you want to edit them, the GIMP is a superb free editor.

Search Google for them and you'll find them.
