The examples here are particularly great in matching what the text is getting at. Nice job Darwin...and leaves me thinking I should try to make some less abstract, abstracts - like the trees

"In the Image Size dialog box first change the Resolution setting to 72 pixels per inch." Hey Darwin - Just wanted to point out that this setting has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the final image. You can set it to 4000000 if you want, and you'll still get the same file. The only time it matters is if dealing with software that works in inches, like a printer driver or something like Powerpoint. When you adjust the pixel dimensions directly, the software will simply adjust how many inches it thinks the image is. But it doesn't DO anything with that inform

"...the 4/3rds technology ... makes them lighter and superior to the equivalent Canon and Nikon glass." Jim - One point of clarification.... The Olympus 300mm/2.8 is larger and heavier than the Nikon and Canon equivalents : Olympus - 12.7x28.5 cm, 3290g Canon - 12.7x25.15 cm, 2540g Nikon - 12.45x26.67 cm, 2900g And those are the f/2.8 VR/IS equivalents. What you DO get with the Olympus is more reach due to the size of the sensor.
