[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 254491, member: 20564"] yeah, I've had all kinds of problems with Kodak cameras on my macs. My first digital camera (Kodak compact digital) had it's own software just to transfer photos. Then with my sister's Kodak, it had more software to transfer photos, which I suspect caused the print software for my Fujifilm digital camera to go haywire and crash every time I launched it. In my experience, Kodak just don't make very mac friendly software, and it's software that's not needed in the first place. Honestly, these two compact digitals have put me off Kodak. My Fujifilm compact doesn't require any software to transfer, and has the fastest transfer I've yet seen on any camera. Though Kodak have pretty much built up digital photography technology from the 60's to where it is today, I feel there are much better cameras out there. I found some reviews of that Kodak you mentioned here [url]http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/read_opinions.asp?prodkey=kodak_p880[/url] It looks pretty good for the price. Bloogrape, depending on your experience and photographic intent, you may not need to use RAW. If you'll be doing fine prints or looking to do it as a career, then you may need it. I heard recently from a photographer friend that Adobe have just released a new app for digital photographers. I think it's called Lightstudio, with some nifty features. Probably something most of us should check out if there's a mac version. I've spent some time using the Nikon D70s, and it's a fantastic camera. Nikon and Canon are pretty much the standard for DSLR's today, and I've been told that the standard lens for the D70s is the best standard lens currently available - so you're good to go and get great shots right after purchase. I have heard some good things about the Pentax DSLR camera, which is apparently great value for the features it offers. Possibly in the same price bracket as you were looking at for the Kodak (look for a review at that link I gave ;)) [/QUOTE]
