take it off the charger no LEDs will light up at all. Does it ...

Ebay to the rescue, spotted a dealer in Hong Kong selling the 300d with

I have a CF card which is unreadable, and I need to recover the images
(but there's also some AVI files on there). What is the best software to

The next bit is mostly for UK readers (so any help appreciated)....

Can anyone recommend a small camera with an LCD viewfinder that either
pulls out (Canon style) or swivels (Nikon/Sony style)?  I'm looking
for something pocketable: my current camera is a Minolta F100, and I'm
hoping for something comparable.  Also, looking for something at least

I took pictures that are 2592 x 1728 pixels (3:2 ratio).  I expected
these pictures to be printed on 6 x 4 inch prints, without any
cropping of the pictures since the print is also 3:2 in ratio.  But
when I took the pictures to Costco to have them developed, all my

I am about to purchase my first digital camera, but I have read reports
of cameras that suffer from a small number of 'dead pixels'.   It seems
that some owners put up with this, but I wouldn't be so happy
particularly as I am hoping to purchase a mid price model.  I am

when taking an image containing a bright source (e.g, light bulb, or
sunlight thru a window). The picture themselves do not have these
vertical light streaks. Is this normal since I have not got this

I've been trying to find out about all the online photo
storage/sharing/printing services (e.g. ofoto, shutterfly). There appear to
be a huge number of them, but I cannot seem to find a nice review/comparison
of them. I would love to see something that compares things like cost of

I've been looking a lot at the Canon 1D, and (unless they introduce
something new in the next few months that beat it) I'm planning on
getting one in late spring.  But I'm going to need a backup body, and
