Important Announcement -- Schedule Changes
After the first of the year, we will be changing our SIG schedules.
Nothing's written in stone, yet, so this is your opportunity to give
your input for when will be most convenient to you.
Be sure you come to your favorite SIG meeting in November and make
your interest known. Hopefully we can set a schedule so more people can
make all the SIGs they're interested in.

Product Review |

| Late Breaking Product Review
CompUSA generously hosts our SIG meetings. Their current (11/14-11/20) ad
shows an Olympus Camedia 3.2 megapixel camera for $129.99 (pg 3, SKU #
311186). I have been using a 1.6 Mpx Camedia at work for several years with
most satisfactory results. You should consider this one if you're looking
for a starter camera or something to throw in your briefcase "just to have".
This is an ideal price for a camera that would probably compete well with a
$79 film camera (you would break even after about 10-15 rolls of film).

Digital
Camera SIG
Tuesday, November 16, 2004, 7:00pm
CompUSA, South Boulevard and I-485
The next digital camera SIG meeting will be at 7PM on
November 16th @ CompUSA. We will be talking about "Fantastic".
I will show everyone how to professionally make their digital
photos look fantastic using PhotoShop CS. You won't want to miss
this SIG.
Please bring your cameras and digital photos.
New schedule! In January we will meet January 13, 2005 at
Piedmont Natural Gas. Yes, this is the regular General Meeting
time and place. We're doing this because our SIG needs more
space and that's a plenty-big room.
For more discussion on this plan, please see the Forum at http://forum.pc3.org/viewtopic.php?t=5.
