The focus of Digigraphica is in on better understanding photography in general, the pros and cons of digital photography, and what features are important when choosing and using a digicam.

• Low end photography in the digital age, John Hatchett, Recycled Computing, 2008.07.09. "If you can repurpose older computers, you can certainly use older cameras in a new universe."
• Digital SLRs are affordable enough to replace 35mm SLRs, 2008.03.11. Prices for DSLRs have dropped to record lows, and image quality generally matches or exceeds that of film.
• No more ugly dates (in your digital photos), 2008.03.06. Tired of ugly, blocky, wrong colored dates in your digital images? This proposal could eliminate them for good, giving you control over typeface, color, and placement.
• High megapixel compact digicams may be worse than we thought, 2008.02.21. In the rush to squeeze more megapixels into a tiny image sensor, manufacturers are sometimes making compromises that result in fuzzy, grainy, washed out images.
• Busting the Megapixel Myth, 2008.01.10. More megapixels can mean a better image, but in many cases it's more than you need and sometimes it can mean worse photos.
• Fujifilm FinePix S5000 or Minolta Dimage Z1?, 2003.08.13. Which provides the better value among 3 MP 10x zoom digicams, the new Fujifilm FinePix S5000 or Minolta Dimage Z1?
• Going mostly digital, 2003.08.06. How one new digicam has convinced me to sell of the majority of my 35mm camera gear.
• FinePix S5000, S7000 promise great value, 2003.08.01. The Fujifilm FinePix S7000 is a worthy successor to the S602, but the new S5000 gives it a real run for the money.
• Does four-thirds stand a chance?, 2003.05.07. What is Olympus proposing with their "four-thirds" digital standard? Does it really stand a chance against Nikon, Canon, and other established brands?
• The digital SLR: Affordable or overpriced?, 2003.04.25. Digital SLRs now rival film in quality, but with smaller imagers and much higher prices, are they ready to compete with 35mm SLRs?
• Is digital better than film?, 2003.04.21. "For most users most of the time, digital can already replace film."
• Megapixels and sufficient resolution, 2003.04.16. How many megapixels you need to create a decent snapshot or a really sharp 8 by 10 depends on how the final image will be printed. Inkjet demands much less resolution than other processes.
• Memory Speed Matters, 2001.07.06. A look at read and write speed of CompactFlash cards.
• Thoughts on SiliconFilm, 2001.06.19. SiliconFilm is a step in the right direction, but only a step.
• Review. Epson Stylus Photo 870, 2001.06.08. "...you won't be disappointed with output quality from this excellent printer."
• Owning a Digicam. A Look at the Costs, 1999.12.29.
• Buying My Digicam Online, 1999.12.21.

Picking the Right Camera

• Picking the Right 35mm SLR

35mm Section

• Introduction to Macro Lenses. What is a macro lens? What's available?
• Nikon N90s/F90x. Recently discontinued, the N90s is enough camera to keep most pros happy.
• Nikon AF SLRs. No, they're not digital, but I do more digital photography with film (and have the negatives burned to CD) than with my digicam.
