Christmas Pizza Party
pizza from DeLuca's - Lansing's best

Aside from the pizza and pop that LAMALUG will supply, you're welcome to bring any of your favorite dishes or treats. It's not required, but we (especially Jonathan) sure do like sampling each others culinary goodies.

There will also be a short presentation
by Ed Noonan: Selecting a Digital Camera

There are hundreds of digital still cameras currently on the market, so to decide which is best for you, you need to compare features. In this article, I plan on highlighting several of the best selling digital cameras, while pointing out some of their differences. Some of my observations are subjective. I currently use two digital still cameras, but have owned about a dozen, handled several dozen, sold digital cameras for Apple Computer, and read hundreds of digital camera reviews. Before buying any camera, you owe it to yourself to go to a camera store to see and test the ones you’re interested in. Different models will fit your hands and expectations more or less than somebody else.
