ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/411DPVJZ1BL._SL500_ AA280_.jpg I seriously wanna upgrade glass.. any suggestions?

I'm just curious as to how some of you with the higher end equipment were able to purchase your stuff. I shoot with a very well worn (lots of use over the last 2 and 1/2 years)rebel xt, and a kit lens, I really really want to upgrade glass and body, but cannot see myself being able to afford the stuff I want any time soon. Do you just have money, or did you bury yourself in debt.? I ...

So, I'm thinking of buying a 50D for a big wedding on the 25th. So i would have to buy it before then. But I was thinking of returning the 50D to the store and get my money back, save that money, wait til december for the 5Dmk2? does that sound plausible? yes? hehehe

to.... a 20D :) i know its not a huge jump, but a local guy in my nearby town, put one up for sale at an absolutely bargain price, it was in perfect physical and operational condition, and had hardly been used. Was in its original box. Im very pleased with the purchase, as the 20D has several things the 10D annoys me with. 1) it starts up almost instantly 2) doesnt ...

I want the opinions of some DSLR owners out there. I was all set on buying a Nikon D40 with a 18-55 lens and a VR 55-200 lens will set me back about $700. For about $760 I can now get a Canon 30D (50% off at Ritz). I have heard some mixed reviews about the D40, but for the price, it seems like I can get some decent glass and a good starter body. I shot for years with a ...

Bravo... I have to agree 100%. I use bridge almost exclusively. I find no reason to use other programs when I can work in so many directions right from bridge. I can download and convert raw images, organize my files, go right from camera raw to photoshop itself. When I first tried it using CS2 I thought is sucked the hind chiloves, But the version with CS3 is really nice...

What other lense will you recommend if you want to replace the 24-70mm? This lense will be use for low light, wedding, photowalks, everyday use.... ? all comment welcome

Just that I've been using Aperture ( crap ) and Lightroom ( not so crap ) for a while now - ( along with noise ninja - genuine fractals - neat image - and all the other crap ) Overall - Iphoto wins big time, when used in conjunction with photoshop and dpp as a great end viewer and tweaker for photos destined for Flickr - and prints actually - A4 size anyway. DPP is great ...

When saving my photos, does it make a difference in quality if I change the dpi to, say, 300 (from the default 240). Or would I only notice the difference if I blew up the picture to a huge size? Thanks

I'm looking to get something new but I don't need video. Since the 50D seems to have a lot going for it (bigger screen, liveview, more pixels, a lot faster) and is actually cheaper (?) than a 5D (even now) let alone a 5D II, which frees some funds for other stuff (new lense, backup body), why shouldn't I upgrade? The body is also as solid as the 5D's as far as I know? By trading in my ...

Following on from "Fined for taking a Photo!", what's your most idiotic approach form the police/security. Many years ago I was caught taking a photo of the Haj Terminal at Jeddah Airport (Worlds largest canvas structure at the time). I was taken to a security outpost where the Saudi guard demanded to see my camera. He then opened the back ruining my film. Not content with ...

This is the most ridiculous piece of news I've heard: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/76 51107.stm since when was chivalry a law?

hi mates i 'm curious to know which canon lens do u love.. which lens u can't live without which canon lens do u think have no rivals (other trademark)

Hi that is more or less the question. The problem is you get more and more pictures each week or so and what is the best way to organize them, in order to find pictures back, with or without tags. I am particulary interested in the programs/software you all use. Thanks in advance guys (and dolls) Greetings Mark

Let's face it, the old 5D isn't close to perfect (it looks perfect though). The MK2 would have all the things you wished for the 5D and more... This is the question... Would you still get the 5D now at the regular price and not regret it for the 5D MK2? I mean, the MK2 is way cheap for what you'll get and it has a better image quality and low-light capability than the 1D MKII...

www.dpreview.com/previews/sonydslra900/ Anybody agree with me? Doesn't this thing just look hideous? Now, the looks of this thing has no effect on my opinion of this as a camera, but... I mean, c'mon. I just think this thing is god fugly.

Question: I'm Curious. Has anyone tried any crazy ideas to reduce camera shake? Example Scenario: You're out. No pods available. Low light, or super zoomed (latter less likely I guess) and you need to think of some way to still yourself/hands/camera. Background. Before you ask, this link below pretty much sums up most of the physical techniques I've read about (except ...
