Someone in our photography group was recently harassed by a security
guard for taking pictures in downtown Charlotte, NC. We found this
interesting flyer:  http://www.krages.com/phoright.htm

Take what the naysayers post about this lens with a grain of salt.  Most of
them have never owned it, which is obvious from their comments.  This shot
was taken in the Florida Everglades under cloudy conditions and from a
crowded tram ride that was bumping and jerking and ...

I recently got a new Sony P200 7.2 mp.  It takes awesome pictures, but
it takes so many bad pictures also.  It does everything from over/under
exposure to blurry pictures.  I have a feeling it has something to do
with the focusing of the camera.  Are there any settings I can change

After we got some snow here earlier this week, I realized that my eyes have
slightly different white balance. My left eye tends to see things with a
slightly yellowish cast compared with my right eye, which tends to be a bit
bluer. Have others noticed slight differences like this ...

Could the group please advise on how to get really close up photos of
insects and suchlike so for example a wasps head fills the frame? Can

camera is that it does not use standard AA batteries so when I get ...

I'd like to setup a tethered capability in my studio. Can anyone point me at
a UK source for long firewire cables?

I just bought a used FP3800 and noticed that there's quite a lag between
the time the shutter release is pressed and the image is captured. I

Here's hoping this wasn't previously requested but,
I've orderedc the CP8700 as a point and shoot; to replace the CP5000 I have
been using.
Anyone offer opinions on what the major differences might be in learning to

Has anyone got opinions (pros and cons) about the Panasonic DMC-LC80?

Does anyone know of any web sites that talk about the Canon 10D - Contrast,
Sharpness and Saturation settings?  The 10D manual does not offer much
information on it and at a photo class this weekend the speaker was not very
fond of the settings in any of the cameras.

If you take a look at the URL it will give you an idea of the
requirement and the abuse it will have to take :)  Would this erudite NG
kindly give me some idea of what's suitable for the purpose.  Yeah, I
know, it hasn't been made yet:

I read that Nikon hinted at a movie mode on fuure SLR's. Is this technically
possible as it is with P&S digicams? Does anyone have a link to where this
information might be written?
