I am interested in digital B&W. I would like to know which camera has
black and white or sepia mode.

Thanks,

The Canon G2 for example has both.

But it doesn't matter, you would get much better results, if you shoot in
color and convert to B&W in Photoshop (or similar).

I was just going to say the same. Always shoot in color and process
afterwards for b/w, sepia, etc.

I would not bother with this---you can create monochrome or sepia
images in Photshop or equivalent. The only advantage I can see for
having it in the camera is file size---but I would not chose a camera
based on this feature.

No, not the only ... it would also be useful for composition. I think, it's
nice to compose the scene in B&W mode (LCD as viewfinder), then shoot in
color and at last convert to grayscale in Photoshop or similar.

I would imagine that many cameras have a B&W or sepia mode. But also keep in
mind that you can easily convert a color digital image to B&W or sepia with
many software programs.

Black and White mode has benefits, but don't worry about Sepia Mode.

You can discard the color information of your image file, then convert back to
RGB mode (remains in gray scale), and then add 10 cc Red and 10 cc Yellow, or
thereabouts.

Epson, the obvious printer of choice, also has an excellent Sepia mode.

My Mavica CD1000 has a 'sepia mode,'
I cannot imagine why!

ALL CAMERAS HAVE BW/SEPIA, . . . easily done in Photoshop LE (just discard
color information) and with an Epson color printer (Sepia Mode), or switch back
to RGB Mode after discarding color information and add a little Red and Yellow
to get the Sepia colors you prefer.

yes, most camera have b/w and sepia, but i would suggest
taking the picture in normal mode and manipulating the pic

Such image manipulation is better done in post processing software
such as PSP.

In PSP 7.04, I prefer to use the Colors>Colorize at a hue of 20,
saturation 80. Watch the preview, or hit the view screen to see it
work on the entire image.

Better not to do that, because
1. you lose the EXIF information and
2. the additional processing step degrades the image (JPEG
recompression).

So, use the TIFF file.

1. Never do any work on your archived original other than read it!

Don't use JPG. Use a lossless format.

Many, if not most, digital cameras have B&M and Sephia modes. As least the
sony
for cybershot digital cameras.
