That's EXACTLY the reason why I went with the Nikon D70. My Canon S30 could not keep up with my then 1-year old daughter and I simply got tired of missed and out of focus shots.
It's so nice to be able capture those brief moments and get them stored away in digital format.

I actually liked the 20D better than the D70 I have (although the color accuracy of the D70 is better, IMHO). It's just I already had a bunch of Nikon stuff and didn't want to switch.
Konica-Minolta now has a DSLR with an optical stabilizer built into the body! A VR zoom lens for my Nikon is about $1700! I hope Nikon and Canon follow suit. It would save me a lot of money!

My camera takes "blueish" photos, I have some adjusting to do.

there are two modes for selecting color reproduction on the 20D, I can't remember what they are but one of them is the default exaggerated canon colors that has made canon quite successful in the consumer market. you can switch to a truer color saturation scheme, though.
here's a big pic from a 20D:

Today was a day with a lot of doubts and indecision. After a series of calls to oncologists, our insurance company trying to get some history on the surgeon and our options, we put the temporary brakes on and made an appt with a Dr. down at Sloan-Kettering for a thorough review and second opinion. There is just too much at stake to rush in.
Steve
It's good that you feel comfortable with such a big decision. Second opinions are always welcome, as long as it doesn't take too long to get. Ask alot of questions (in a nice way) and make sure you are comfortable with the answers. Make an educated decision with the help of her doctors. It's the 21st century, you don't have to blindly listen to doctors anymore. ;-)
Good luck, Steve. Keep us updated!
tom
Why? Mike is now he proud papa of a 2-day-old 5-speed gold Forester XT PP; and the old tire/wheel combo wouldn't fit over the brakes of the new '05 XT.
Thanks a bunch Mike, and enjoy your new ride!
Bob
Do other people have this same problem? ;-)
Of course it rained the next day. :-(. Never fails.
tom
Wow Bob. It's good to have generous friends!
I never put my studded tires on this winter but even that old stand-by didn't work.
Steve, Host
Best wishes on everyone's ailments. I believe I have a double ear infection, which started Wednesday night, of course.
Tom - car wash and hand wash? You are now an official member of the OCD club - probably qualify as vice president. Rob M.
Rob: next time try to schedule some spare time, maybe we can meet up somewhere.
Best thing about DC? Everything is free! All the museums, monuments, etc.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for some snow in the next couple of weeks so you can try out the new "snow shoes."
Nice to meet some of the other members yesterday!
Michael
I have the same problem too and usually wash mine twice. The wheel wells especially don't get clean.
Eric
Cheers Pat.

Oooh, not common for adults to get ear infections Rob. Has it happened before?
LOL Rob. I don't think I'd make it as VP of the OCD club. As Juice said, I didn't was the inside of my wheels. (But I did go as far as wash some of the inside. ;-) )
tom, in OCD denial
Steve, I wish I could make it snow! It's pouring rain now. I'm headed for Whistler in a week. I think I'll be playing cards indoors in the rain! Oh well, at least I won't be working!
tom
Whistler, huh? I am sooooo jealous. That is somewhere I have always wanted to go. I did Colorado, Utah and Tahoe in my single days, besides my unlimited access to NH/ME/VT. However, I am heading up to the NH lakes region for some skiing on Friday. I have access to a ski chalet (FREE) 5 minutes from Gunstock. Small, but some good runs. Rob M.
Hopefully, I will head up to Vermont at the end of the month for a week or so of skiing.
Craig
Whistler is very nice. 2 mountains to choose from. You can take 2 Gondolas to the top of Blackcomb and ski beginner runs all the way down! (nice for the kids) There are of course a lot of other more challenging runs. Sorry Rob, but there's nothing in the NE that I saw when I lived out there that even remotely compares. ;-)
Unfortunately, there's not much snow. :-(. So you'll probably get in more skiing than I will! Free chalet sounds really good too! ;-)
Craig, how's skiing in the mid-Atlantic region? Is it small hills like the NE? ;-) No big mountains back east!
tom
The zipper on my backup snowsuit blew out so blue jeans may be the costume for the rest of the year. Then I whacked the OB's liftgate bottom edge with my board and added a nice chip to the collection. Sure is fun!
Steve, Host
Hope you're doing physical therapy and not just laying in bed. Also, if you've herniated 4 disks I'm not sure how much of a career skiing you have left. It's probably not a good idea. Sorry. There's always snowshoeing!
tom
Yep. Physical therapy for four months now. They've pretty much exhausted the treatment options, though. Next up is possible surgery to remove the herniated material. Very scary. The orthopod recommend chiropractic treatment for a month or so to see if it helps. I'll be heading to that appointment in 20 minutes.
-Ty
Wow, you herniated 4 Thoracic disks? Not very common. The natural course of herniated disks is that they gradually 'reabsorb' over time. But if you're not better at 6 months it is less likely. There is a procedure called 'Percutaneous Disk Decompression' which uses needles instead of surgery. Much less invasive, but it might be really hard to find someone near you willing to do it, especially on 4 thoracic disks (I've never done nor seen it on so many disks). But maybe if they did the worst two it you might do well. Anyway, something to think about (while snowshoeing!)
tom
Craig
I do like Utah and Tahoe ski areas, but Mad River Glen and Sugarbush VT are still my favorites! Love the terrain there.
Craig
I went skiing in Taos, NM once, and they had a 5 mile trail. Elevation was so high, I kept running out of breath, even when I was resting!
To relate this to Subies, that's what turbos are for - to compensate for thin air.
-juice
Tom: My orthopod mentioned injection therapy as an option, starting with cortizone and then moving to what he termed 'battery acid' (neuro toxin and sugar water). I'll see if he was referring to 'Percutaneous Disk Decompression.' Thanks for the help; I really do appreciate it.
No advice here. 8~(
Just hoping and praying you get well soon!
I cringe just reading about it.

Best of luck and speedy recovery to Bob, Brenda and Beth.
Forester has 118,500K miles on it now, soon to be taken to 120K service. The plan is now to hand it over to my daughter when she turns 18 (next year).
I really like the new Forester's facelift and am really anxious to get a new one, but I can wait another year, no problem. I hope face-lifted Foresters in the US market will get 5-spoke wheels, like shown on Subaru site in Japan. I always felt 5-spoke wheels matched the character of that car the best.
Glad to hear that things are turning for the better.
I think I can see you in a Forester XT in the near future!
Ken
I am looking for a set in reasonable shape, cheap. ( cheap being the operative word.):-)
Cheers Pat.
Steve, Host
I also have a donut off an 02 Legacy.
And black dash trim for that Leg if someone doesn't look their plood.

Best of luck at Sloan. They are the best.

They rated the OB #3 on their list for best value vehicle. This site is trying to get sports active people hooked up with the "active lifestyle" car. Not that I am that active (lol) but active.com does all the registration for Bike NY, and other similar events. They made up their list in conjunction with the National Sports Network.

A co-worker with a Forester XT just e-mailed me some notice about the Forester winning some green award.
