I assure you it would be an improvement over my current benefits. Which are 
nonexistent. And don't get me started on my shamefully low pay rate. I just 
think it would be mighty fine to work for the university because I could take 
a free class every semester, it's biking distance to my pad, and again, it'd 
be better benefits than I have now. And the job truly sounds cool.

I applied for the job in question earlier this week. Guess it's just a matter 
of playing the waiting game and/or figuring out who does the hiring for that 
department. And then bribing them. Or bribing any of you who might know who 
hires for the Acad. Aff. Library so you'll fill me in. Hint hint.

Beth

My 10cents...

Am a multimedia person.  Have worked at a photo/illustration house.  
Have never met a digital camera that can't interface with a mac running 
OSX (in fact, OSX doesn't even need drivers, etc... just fire up 
iphoto, and plug in the usb cable and away you go)...have used olympus, 
nikon, fuji, cannon, kodak, etc. etc...

Fuji cameras can be very good.  We used them at the photo house (a 
state agency) I worked for - Fuji S1's or something like that.  Not 
cheap ones though.  Those were high priced, even more so than Canon 
d-1, etc...Most photographers I know prefer fuji film on film cameras, 
so I'd say in general they are a good company...

My advice, analyze what you need, what you want, and find a camera that 
fits those needs...  don't worry too much about brands -- long as you 
recognize the brand, I would say it's probably going to be decent...
