It's restriction is the f3.5-5.6; the compromise is the image stabilization. The build quality is not "L", but...

Of course, I took the boys on my moon quest also... By their school, looks so washed out there, hard to expose them and the moon. now rising over their school and the reason I was 15 minutes late picking them up.....I was shooting at the middle school just down the road.... __________________ Mike R, P.E. ;24" Al iMac, TV(160), Canon T1i "Usul": 4 x AE-IB15 line array IB sub, flat to 10hz SubwooferVideo HT Project

facebook is terrible for pictures. Whatever compression it uses makes even decent pictures look terrible. I don't know if this is your only problem here, but it certainly isn't helping. __________________ Flick r , 2.5 GHz MBP, 20D, 17-85, 70-200 2.8 IS, 50 1.8, 430EX

Hey, recently I've been playing around with Nikon AF modes but there are some that got me confused. At the lower front, there is 3 dials; Continuos, Single and Manual. My question is regarding the Continuous and Single Mode. To my understanding there is 3 modes; single AF, dynamic AF and the full box which I dont understand what it means. The problem is, when in Continuous Mode and Dynamic AF, when I focus lock the subject, as the...

Thanks again, my final decision is coming down to, essentially: A new Canon EOS 1000D / Rebel XS bought online, but I've played with one in the store very briefly, seems fine Secondhand EOS 20D bought online but not tested by myself An EOS 400D that's just slightly out of my price range, so would be a financial push that I'm reluctant to make I seem to have discounted Nikons mainly because they seem a bit more expensive for...

Apparently, some people are having better luck with the quality of their FB photos by manually resizing to 604 pixels (long edge) in PS (presumably this also works in LR, Aperture, or iPhoto), and stripping the colour profile BEFORE uploading. FB resizes to a maximum of 604 pixels and strips the colour profile, so if the user does this ahead of time, FB does not apply its crappy algorithm and the pictures are salvaged somewhat. It's...

I don't know what the big deal is about Rockwell... there are plenty of sources out there, including tons of review sites. Some are more about the raw numbers, others are about the day-to-day living with a particular piece of equipment. Many have opinions (most) which come from the writer's own experiences or biases.
