Well, I quickly ran into some snags on my little project. The camera I chose, the Coolpix P6000, turned out ot be a really sub-standard camera. I returned it to the camera dealer and purchased instead the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. The sensor on the Coolpix was very noisy and the straight jpegs had a strange blended and almost painterly appearance. I had lots of fun just walking around and snapping anything and everything. I guess that is one of the benefits of digital. But unless you get the high end digital cameras the quality of the images leaves a lot to be desired.
