Evening Chaps and chapettes. Just bought myself a G3 and would be interested in hearing what settings you guys use to get the best out of camera jpegs? I know...I know I should shoot RAW but I just too disorganised to process my pics afterwards :bonk: Mike :)

Loving these pics :) Desperate to get my hands on a G2......just got to get rid of my 450D first :(

When my grandad died, a good few years ago now, I was amazed and surprised to find out that he had been a keen Photographer. We discovered boxes of old pictures and negatives, some of which, though not taken by him, were 90 years old and still looked almost perfect today. My question is how...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys :)
