Ryan,

 All the numbers and dates are on the Group Tour section of the website. We are about one third full in all three cities as I write. I prefer guys to be able to have some three to four months of preparation in order to meet the maximum number of sincere ladies that is possiable during the time they have. We are a little more than four months away from the fall group tour at this time.

... in response to Re: Where are the Spring Tour PHOTOS !, posted by wsbill on May 17, 2002

Just received all the photos from Rostick and Galina. I am not so impressed with the quality of the photos from there digital cameras. I usually take most the photos and I have two Nikon 35mm's, big difference in quality of these digital's compared to my Nikon's. In the photos I received, I might be able to add one, at the most two, new photos to the group tour section.

Of hiring a professional photographer.  The guy that did the last April in Kiev knew what he was doing.  And he walked about the place without any fanfare and Rostick and Galina could spend more time with the guests and interacting.

Camera.  Ya gotta have some decent pictures if you want us to get excited.

I mean, I know in Kiev you can buy a decent Nikon compact 35mm camera for $50 bucks... I know, I bought one and gave it to my lady friend so that she could take some pictures of her life - friends & family.  I think, I got 5 pictures in that one letter she sent me.

Lessoned learned.

WildBill, I don't think you can buy any better camera than Nikon.

I purchased three digital cameras last year for various managers. I think the digital cameras I got were pretty good cameras but digital cameras just do not offer the zoom and close ups, the crystal clear imagine of fast objects or people that, for example, the Nikon offers.

I don't think the flash on these digitals covered the item being photographed if it was more than 10 meters away.

Digital cameras have there place, shooting photo of ladies receiving flowers, close-ups of ladies outside in good lighting, the ability to take many photos and have on your computer an hour later. Maybe my people are still learning how to use these digital cameras. I was hoping for many more good photos.

Try one of the SLR Type digital cameras.  The Minolta Dimage 5 or 7, some of the Canons or some of the Fuji's.  I have experience with these particular models and can take pictures that equal or come very close to most 35mm SLR cameras.

The Fuji's (4900 or 6900) can be bought quite cheaply.  Their claimed resolution is not their true resolution, but I consider them a bargain.

I used a Canon Power Shot Pro 90 extensively this spring in Utah and it takes very nice shots.  It is quite a bit more expensive then the Fuji's or the Minolta's though.  About the only clear advantage I can see is that it has image stabilization.

Phil,

  Do they have these digital SLR with several different size lens that you can purchase and interchange, such as a 35mm, 70, 150 or 200mm lenses?

Thanks.

Yes you can buy digital cameras with the features you mention but you tend to pay a premium for them.  I bought my son a fuji6900 for graduation.  It has a 6x zoom, a hot shoe to ad an optional flash,  full manual mode, along with full auto.  You can also add optional lenses (fish eye, wide angle, and a telephoto).  This Camera makes 8x 10 inch prints that are undistinguishable from any 35mm camera I have seen.

This Camera would be considered at the lower end of the SLR digitals and costs around 600.00. It is often described as an "entusiasts camera" or an "entry level professional model".

Dan mentions mega pixels web site.  This is an excellent resource for the digital camera enthusiast.
