Re: Possible Travel Kit
Sounds like you've got it down. Is the D70 a full-sized chip, or a smaller one like my Rebel XT? Looking at your lens choices, I didn't know if they were actual 35mm focal lengths or 1.6x conversions. . . . Pardon my ignorance. 100 years ago I had a Nikkor AI 35mm f/1.4. . . . Which I loved. Sold it to a friend and regret… -
Re: why is nikon d5000 cheaper than d90?
I think I'm quite proficient in the use of my D5000 now. I can change aperture, shutter speed, and ISO quickly and without looking for the buttons. I've set one of the buttons to be the ISO shortcut. I never knew about the other models' dual wheel and top LCD screen until well after I learned to use my D5000, so I never… -
Re: Canon dSLR: 7d vs. 1d2 vs.... ahh!
The 7D is hands-down Canon's best camera that has ever MSRP'd for less than $4,000. Of course you could buy a used 1D mk3 for almost the same price as a new 7D, but the 7D is just so versatile, I can't pass it up. It's got the resolution for landscapes, and unlike any 1-series, the battery grip is optional which any… -
Re: Which would you recommend?
Yep, I'll second the 350D as an option (and a couple others)! Hi Kelly, A good site for researching digital cameras is Dpreview (http://dpreview.com) and all the cameras you've mentioned are given thorough reviews there. I just bought a Canon Digital Rebel XT (aka the 350D) and I can tell you it's a bargain compared to the… -
Re: Trying to Decide on a New Camera - XTi or 30D?
Yea, I figured I wouldn't really know until I got into photography more. I think I will probably go with the 30D just to try something different. My dad has an XTi, so I am pretty familiar with how they feel. My dad (joshhuntnm) has an XTi with a 28-200 lens and I have shot with it some. I don't mind not having the wider… -
Re: Auto Focus Problem with Canon Lens
Thanks for your comments, Ziggy. I appreciate your taking the time to answer. I don't think it is the camera. My 70-200L f.2.5 has had no problems at all with the AF. It has performed superbly since I took it out of the box. My 17-85 was rebuilt by Canon under warranty after they conceded that it had a defect. It now does… -
Re: MINOLTA 7D OWNERS!: I need your help.
Update: I shot a full day with the camera today (we did another 'TogsBfast (photographer's breakfast) )... The results are as follows: - The image stabiliser does more damage than good. - The camera lacks contrast in JPEG mode in daylight. (Photos from 10D/RebelXT same day were much nicer) - [Sidenote:] The 18-125 Sigma DG… -
Re: Star*Explorer Thread
Some recent usage info One of the useful mantras I use as a developer is "eat your own dog food". Hence all my uploads are done with S*E.

Re: Lens sizes agaga - filtering systems?
Well I read through all that, do I get a cookie? It'd be nice since I'm feeling the pain on this one too, my story is that I started at 67mm (17-85), then I got a 58mm (sigma 70-300), then a 52 (nifty 50), now a 72mm (sigma 150 macro), and a 77mm (10-22mm). I still haven't got the courage (or the recovered bank account) to… -
