A Mini-Review

It always amazes me that manufacturers sometimes miss the most obvious things. A digital camera like theCanon EOS D30needs to provide the photographer with the ability to quickly and conveniently review what has been shot.Zoombrowser, Canon's provided software, simply isn't up to the task because the thumbnails that it presents are far to small for serious evaluation. 

If one is shooting inRAWmode there really are few choices. Using the provided video cable to preview images directly from the camera on a TV monitor is one solution, and in the field use of an accessory device called theBelkin USB VideoBusalong with a notebook computer is another. Each approach has its drawbacks.
