Do you use all of your camera's features or do you stick with the AUTO mode? And once you do snap keepers of your loved ones, how long does it take for you to print them out? Do you still have photos from Christmas sitting in your digital camera? These were just some of the questions I posed to readers in the PHOTOGRAPHY blog over the past few days. This week we focused on printing: How to, how often, and how it all works. If you missed any of our discussions now is the time to catch up.

May 19th---Megapixels and Picture Quality. How much do you really know about megapixels? Or perhaps a better question is: How much do you really need to know? If you are in the process of purchasing your first digital camera one of the first steps to understanding what kind of camera is right for you is to figure out how many megapixels you need. This blog provides useful information that you should know before you head to the camera store.

May 20th---Photo Printing Options. The power of Pictbridge is the focus of this particular blog. By purchasing Pictbridge-enabled cameras and printers you can avoid the long lines at Wal-Mart's photo department. This blog explains why.

May 21st---Printing Photos from an SD Card. These days you will be hard pressed to find a digital camera that doesn't have the ability to store at least a few hundred high-resolution pictures in its memory. However, if you want to move your cherished shots from your camera directly onto your computer without using cables, you'll need a "card reader." This blog details the pros and cons of purchasing a SD card and what you need to know about card readers.

May 22nd---Affordable Digital Cameras. It doesn't come with a well-known name like Kodak, Sony, Canon or Olympus, yet Concord, is creating quite a buzz with its new 6-megapixel model, which offers outstanding features for a fraction of the price of the bigger brands. Check out what the excitement surrounding this camera is all about in this blog.

May 23rd---Do You Use All of Your Camera's Features? Studies show most hobby photographers don't. If you rarely stray from using your camera's AUTO mode then you might not be interested in purchasing the Canon PowerShot G9. Find out why in this blog.

May 24th---Are Your Sharing Your Pictures? Printing pictures has become as easy as sitting your camera on top of a printer and pressing a button. It's a simple task, but you might be surprised by the number of shutterbugs who allow their shots to sit in their cameras for months on end. Are you guilty of doing so? Look to break the habit by reading this blog that explores some of the best photo sharing options available.
