Newbie to digital photography

Hi
I have just bought an S45. Whats a good web page to visit to learn how to make the most of digital cameras?

You can probally even look up a decent website on photography in general, and not even so much digital. A digital camera is just going to be another tool to photography, there are some limitations however compared to film, such as higher noise levels at higher sentivity, and sometimes related to speed of shooting.

The best advise I can give on one of those small guys ( I dont know if the S45 has manual controls like the S50 or not ), is to learn how to pre-focus your shot, if you are new to digitals, especially consumer P&S, you'll notice shooting the picture is not instanteneous that yuo may require a second or so before the camera will focus and snap. You can get around this by trying to prefocus (half click the shutter) , then wait for that moment, then snap. Far as websites, more or less just search through the threads on this forum.
