They have used, tested, and/or reviewed most of the digital cameras (and related hardware and software) that have been introduced since the beginning of digital photography. However, regardless of how many cameras they have handled, the Grottas have never lost sight of the whole reason they started with all this—their fascination with how much more of the world they can see, enjoy, and cap- ture through a camera lens. The Grottas have traveled all over the world on assignment and understand what it takes to get a great picture in all kinds of situations, from Antarctica to the Amazon rain forest, from war zones to the most difficult shot—the group family picture. The Grottas are the authors of PC Magazine Guide to Digital Photography (Wiley Publishing, Inc., 2004), Shooting for Dollars: Simple Photo Techniques for Greater eBay Profits(Peachpit Press, 2005), and other books. They have written many hundreds of articles and reviews on digital photography, photo editing, and imaging for a wide variety of major magazines, including PC Magazine, where they have been contributors for more than 10 years. The Grottas are often inter- viewed on television and radio, and their lectures, seminars and e-seminars on digital photogra- phy and imaging are popular for the depth of their knowledge, their clarity of insight, and great accessibility. Daniel is the president and lead analyst of DigitalBenchmarks, widely recognized as a premier independent digital camera and imaging test lab. A former chapter president of the American Society of Media Photographers, Sally’s photographs and digital images have appeared in various fine art exhibitions and many publications throughout the world. 01_773204 ffirs.qxp 4/6/06 6:58 PM Page vii Credits EXECUTIVE EDITOR PROJECT COORDINATOR Chris Webb Kristie Rees SENIOR DEVELOPMENT EDITOR GRAPHICS AND PRODUCTION SPECIALISTS Kevin Kent Carrie A.
