I would like to see a comparison of all available adapters or other methods of transferring images from camera to Computer and there plusses and minuses.

For example: Flashpath, Parallel port SSFDC adapters, PCMCIA add-on kits for desktops, PCMCIA adapters for Smartmedia and corresponding sections for cameras using other types of storage.

I would like to see discussions of Optical add ons, filters, macro adapters, tele-extenders, lens hoods, adapters that are specific to various cameras. For instance, the Oly 500 and 600 have the same lens bvt appear to differ greatly in the useability of non-Oly optical accessories. What brands of 2X video converters work well with the D600? Etc etc etc.

You DEFINITELY have to develop a definitive article and an FAQ Topic on Lighting for Digital Photography. With film, you knew what type of lighting you needed for a particular film. One might assume that the optimum lighting for digital cameras would be Daylight/9500K, but is this the case? When you can't use the flash (closeup/macro shots) what type of lighting do you use? Is the use of filters for tungsten lighting, etc. applicable to digital cameras? There is only so much image editing you can do to compensate for color shifts, without degrading the quality. Lighting is at the heart of image quality. Much more information is needed.
