With the exception of 'is it a speedy printer' (it is not), the questions you ask depend on your computer software, not the printer. To print an excerpt from an article, I copy and paste it into a word processing document, where I can adjust the font, etc, and print from there.

Hi Ann My Wife has a Canon S2 IS....all I can say is, you get allot of camera for your money! I use a Rebel, but S2 always amazes me with the quality of photos it can take! The only drawback I find with these cameras, also Sony, I tried one out, 12 x zoom lens, but have returned it, just because the processing speed is a bit slow, perhaps with the new one it is better? As for batteries, we use Energizer rechargeable 2500 mA H, it takes about 3 hrs. to recharge and you can shoot about 200 to 300 pics on super fine setting. You should have at least two sets [of 4] , my Wife has 3 sets, so you will never run out of power. I find these batteries are more convenient, because it is available anywhere, much cheaper, about 1/3 of the price then my canon Rebel special battery. We heard, S3 IS will be released May 31. Also it has some new futures like sport shooting setting, which is good for moving objects and ISO up to 800 from 400. Here are some sample shots from couple of days ago. Konrad Macro

Did you color balance the camera? Look in your camera manual for procedures for setting color balance. I believe tha both the Canon and Nikon both have auto-color balance and manual. The autobalance is used when you select the auto mode, other settings are used for other modes. In many cases, the default settings in any mode except 'auto' may not be optium and can be way out of whack. My Canon at default tends to blow out bright spots in the scene. It does not have the dynamic range of the Nikon (camera of 6 yrs ago) This was remedied by setting the exposure to -1/3 f stop. This user setting is available in the "M" mode, but ignored in AutoMode. If white balancing the camera does not fix the problem, return it.

iowagirl, I really don't know much about the DSLR cameras, so I guess I better do lots more research. I just mentioned to my sister than I was going to buy a new camera and I wanted another Canon. She has an Olympus and said she thought it took great pictures until she saw her 2 friends pictures. They were awesome, so she ask them what type of camera they had and both just said Canon 12 mp. I'll get her to ask them more about which camera it is. I'll also check out the others that you all have suggested. I just want to hurry up and get one! I hate to be without a camera. Of course my clothes dryer wouldn't work this morning, so I may be shopping for a dryer before the camera. :( Thanks to everyone!
