Just purchased my G2 at Best buy, San Jose CA. BB just lowered G2 price
to $747.96 (two days ago it was $799.99) starting 5/1/02.
I am glad that I have G2 again cos' my first G2 had to be returned back due
to dead pixels in CCD just before last Christmas.
New G2 CCD doesn't seem to have a hot pixel after testing with a lens cap on. However, I do have a couple of deal pixels in LCD but I guess I can live
with these as long as CCD is ok.
Questions..
1) I am new to photography. So first stupid question...
How to become a good photographer? Just go out and practise.. or
should I get a good book on photography first?? Any recommendations?
2) How to check for dead pixels in CCD? Other then a lens cap-on test...
My first G2 had a dead pixel at both CCD and LCD( at same location)..
so how do I make sure these dead pixels in LCD are really just faults
in LCD alone.??
3) My G2 has ten-digit S/N with 5th digit "4" but it has red a "03" in
battery compartment cover.. Is it crack-free??
Thanks for your comments..
