The cat thing is a joke about the #1 subject photographed when someone has a new toy to try. [This attachment has been purged. Older attachments are purged from time to time to conserve disk space. Please feel free to repost your image.]
The thing is, I LIKE cat pictures. I'd take more of my cat if she wasn't so old and inactive. There's only so many pictures you can take of a cat sleeping in a cat bed.
I find it funny that your son was not the first choice for you subject your cat was and you settled for your son because the cat wouldn't cooperating.
My son isn't usually photogenic; and also if I'm trying out a new camera for the first time it's usually at night after the kids were in bed. Friday ended up being a half day at work, and my son was off school.
Uhh it's sitting in the cabinet. I decided against the glass I got with it, so I'm ordering another tomorrow and returning the one I have. At the end of the week I'll be buying the rest...I hope. Can't decide still!
Roger, Select the 'Adobe' color space on the camera (Think more VIVID thoughts!), then not only will Craig be impressed you have DSC shots, he'll be ultra impressed that you have '_DSC' shots! (don't ask me, it's Nikon's naming convention!)
Re: Cat finally cooperates. Finally. A cat. (Actually I wanted a sunset, but something about 98% cloud cover foiled me) Tokina 12-24, ISO 1600, f/4, 1/13 sec. Processed in A2. I need to give Bibble another try - I'm starting to see where people actually do use different RAW converters depending on what the subject is. I guess firing up Capture NX too wouldn't hurt.

Canon isn't that different. We get "_MG" instead of "IMG" as the start of the name. Oh, and also.. Yay, a cat!
its there, but the manual said to only use adobe if you are going to post-process, which I dont like to do. I switch all the time from color 1 to color 3, but I always jump right over adobe.
On the D70, Adobe sRGB is under Optimize and it's Color Mode II. I use Mode Ia for people and IIIa for everything else. yeah, what Craig said ;D
