My ZIO has stopped showing up in Explorer or My Computer yet when I plug and

Ok, I bought two BP-511 batteries for my 20D.  I tried to use one
yesterday for the first time...dead dead dead.  It supposedly is taking
a charge, but nothing when it's in the camera.  The other works fine.
I'll be damned if I can find the website...supposedly they have a

...what difference on the picture does this make.
Thanks, Manfred

I've searched the web for the shutter lag time in SECONDS for the *ist
DS, with autofocus on, and can't find this info.
Some places say there is no noticeable lag, some that the *ist is
"slow"... but nobody has posted an actual delay time in seconds or

I've just read the "Signature" post and the "Photo editing software..." one.
I usually use a paintbrush to stams my signiture logo onto my images, can
photoshop have a batch process that just stamps a border and signiture onto
each pic?

I thought I'd try to save some money on a lens I was looking for, by
looking on craigslist.org for used ones. I expected to pay maybe 70-75%
of the new price for a lens in excellent condition (about what B&H
charges for used lenses, though I understand that B&H typically pays

There was a time when the 'flash' in electronic flash units was a glass tube
filled with an inert gas. A high voltage was applied to the tube to create
the flash. I recently bought a good quality (Nikon SB-800) flash and some
things in the manual lead me to believe it is a different ...

I'm looking to get a new lens for my Canon eos 10d. I'm looking to get
something suitable for the odd Wedding or two as well as the usual
portraits, pets and landscape stuff. Unfortunately, the lens thing is still
pretty new to me and I'm not sure what would be my best option.

Works a trick!

I want to be about to put my signature on my photos. I figure I would
capture the signature and turn it into a Gimp mask and then use that
mask to lighten/darken the signed area. The problem is capturing the
signature. I would like to use a graphics tablet, but I don't have one

I am trying to find out what the difference is on the DX7590 and the Z740.
Which one is the better camera. I noticed the DX7590 has the Schneider-
Kreuznach lens and the Z740 has the Retinar all glass aspheric 10X optical
zoom lens. What is the difference and which one is better? ...

I want to buy a Canon D Rebel XT and will be taking it outside the US,
permanently - so no use for the US warranty.
1. Would it be wise then to get a gray market camera? And where is
there a good dealer for gray market (online outside NY, or bricks and

I'm tossing around the idea of one of these, but the AF 60mm f2.8D
is maybe half the price of the AF 105mm f2.8D.  Given the D70's 1.5x
crop, it seems to me it might actually be a more useful size too
(for macro work).

I have a point-and-shoot Canon camera and now a 20d. The A75 came with
ZoomBrowser. Will this application work with the 20d? It doesn't
recognize the camera, although it pops up a prompt telling me it'll
disconnect the camera in 60s if I let it, so there's *some*

I'm looking to buy a new camera in the GBP 100 - 150 price range
(USD 180 - 280). I need something small enough for a shirt pocket
which has a fast shutter response time, a reasonable optical zoom,
and takes CompactFlash memory cards. I don't need a very high
