Do you notice a difference in quality when using one method or the other? How about if you don't upload and just copy from the memory stick? Also, what about uploading to a laptop and then copying to a cd. When you bring it up on another computer is the quality the same? Showing my ignorance, I'm afraid. Trouble shooting poor quality and looking to blame something other than my photography skill...or lack of! Thanks!

There is now way to reduce the quality (colours, focus etc.) of an image file by just uploading or copying it from one media to another. Also the transfer to a CD does not make difference.
As soon as something went wrong during a transfer process, it results in a more-or-less severe damage of the file and usually it is not readable anymore.
A different thing is viewing an image at different computers: due to differences in monitor calibration coulor and brightness may vary a lot. So make sure that all computers you work on are well calibrated.
Thanks. Okay, then...what about battery packs? I know they deteriorate after time. Do they normally just stop functioning or can you get a quality breakdown?
Direct download to the computer then burning to a cd wouldn't deminish the quality, but playing with the picture and resaving too many times in Jpeg will.
The infolitium batteries seem to be really reliable and they probably breakdown overtime. Had my batteries for 4 years and keep it on the recharger and no problems.

Lithium-Ion are not supposed to deteriorate after time and also they don't have memory effect.
Different moniters have a different calibration level. Macs are different then PC. If you have the same moniter set at exactly the same settings it should be exactly the same.
