Asinine Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I'm working for best buy (and i hate it) right now, but one of my co-workers enlightened me on some companies ways of encouraging associates to sell their products.There is an HP site that you take online courses from and earn 'points' redeemable for cash towards cool stuff.If anyone works for a big retailer i can refer you. But you have to work for a company HP has a deal with. I'm gonna hook myself up with a new 6.1 megapixel camera for about $40 soon on account of this awesome setup.www.hpinfolab.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asinine Posted September 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I've probably spent a total of 3 hours going through that thing and i'm at 10,000 points. At 40,000 i get $200 a $200 rebate on the HP Photosmart R817 Camera!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffW Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 .....6.1 megapixel camera for about $40 soon on account of this awesome setup.www.hpinfolab.comBuy a printer or something that HP's good at making.For cameras, stick with Canon or Nikon.Lotsa my friends have HPs and the pictures can't touch my Canon. It doesn't matter if you have 10,000 megapixels if the camera itself sucks.......Concentrate on good optical zoom and a good camera. You will be MUCH happier in the long run.......

JeffW Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Saturation is neutral.OK, and? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serge Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 The photos are great, just needs a tiny bit of post processing. Which is kind of odd since the Canon A-series use a lot of color saturation in-camera. Interesting why the S400 doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is kind of odd since the Canon A-series use a lot of color saturation in-camera. Interesting why the S400 doesn't.I avoid post processing for shots on the web because every display seems to show them differently. It's weird, but these pics look bright and beautiful on my CRT monitor, but a dull and muted on the LCD I'm on now. The S400 is an older model, but still seems to beat out 2005 model HPs when it comes to giving me pictures that look good.Colorado is a difficult place for digital cameras. It has bright sun and lots of features that render deep shadows. Cheaper digital cameras seem black out the shadows completely while whiting the sky and bright spots.
