Fortycal,
Keep it, not too much has changed and everyone needs 2-3 of them.
One on the truck, one in the RV, one on the quad.
If you only have one you'll never find it, they tend to hibernate or something.Please buy my book - "Paiute ATV Trail Guide" at www.atvutah.com - I need gas money!!!!

Thanks, its always cool to see your handiwork in print.
I was involved a bit on reviewing the new map. We have agreement with them regarding the Paiute Trail Guide Book.
They asked for photos and I gave them several.
I believe this map is their biggest seller. I am certain that Utah is their biggest market. About 2X any other state.Please buy my book - "Paiute ATV Trail Guide" at www.atvutah.com - I need gas money!!!!

The camera is an 8mp Konica-Minolta A2.
It is a mid sized camera with a lot of glass and a manual zoom.
I like the size, its a comromise between full sized SLR and the pocket cams. It shoots really good video at 30fps and 520 lines so its okay for quick vid shots. Not a replacement for a video camera though, audio is crap.
I took the shot hand held on full auto, but the camera has great manual controls.
I use Picasa to sharpen, saturate and crop most of my shots.
Its FREE and so easy its amazing. picasa.google.com
Almost every digital camera shot I have ever seen needs to be sharpened.
Most wash the image so saturation needs to be bumped up. I think this one is overdone but they liked the contrast because of the nature of the map and size they needed to print.
I always get more image than I really want so I can crop the shot. It always amazes me how a crop changes a photo.Please buy my book - "Paiute ATV Trail Guide" at www.atvutah.com - I need gas money!!!!

Thanks for the info on your camera. I have been looking to upgrade and that gives me a good idea. I didn't know they had a 8mp out yet!
