Thanks Gents I will persevere, It would be cruel to do otherwise.

There are a lot of factors to consider, but manufacturers seem to fairly successfully hoodwink the public into thinking that megapixels is what it's all about and nothing else.

I am sure that you are right, sadly the other influencing factor, as explained to me at the time, was the name, I have for many years had a really good Pentax video camera, which whilst it is heavy by todays standards. Still produces great results.

I have a 11 megapixel camera the problem im having is that the image is 2.5 -3 megabytes which is to big to upload to this site,Anyone found a way to shrink the image with windows to a size this site will accept .

The different software that came with my printer, scanner and the camera can usually deal with my photos but have read that pixresizer is fine and it's free to download.

Look forward to your photos Les.

If you use photobucket to host your pics, there is an option to sesize them. I use photoscape to resize before posting.
