One of the main reasons holding me back from retiring my F3 system and
buying into a digital SLR was that I felt digital was inherently slower,
and I like to use long lenses hand-held.
Then I read this on the Ken Rockwell site: "...digital's higher ISOs let

I have a Sigma 50-500mm EX lens which has served me well. It's obviously not
my main lens, but I do like to use it quite often for candids and wildlife
shots and I have had some nice results. However, the mechanism that locks
the lens down when it is fully retracted is broken - it ...

As an owner of a 20D, 300D, plus an expensive and bulky stable of glass, I
decided to buy a walk-around camera.  The Panasonic Lumix FZ5 was my choice
and, for once, it was a good choice.  Here is an example taken at full zoom:

I run Acrobat 6.0 at work.  When I installed it, it showed up in the Word
and Excel toolbars.  I didn't care for this; it has caused some problems.
At home, I just received an Acrobat slide show in pdf.  I run Acrobat 4.0
at home, and when I went to open the slide show, I was told ...

Has anyone upgraded from version 1.1.0 to 2.0.0?  Any problems?
Also , is it worthwhile unless you plan to use the wireless file transmitter
WFT-E1?  Or are there 'hidden' improvements?

Hi. I want to buy a Non-DSLR digital camera that is capable of shooting
good portraits of people. Can you suggest some models for me to check
into? Here is an example of the type of portraits I like:

XP is pure insecure sh.t and Longhorn is looking like Service Pack 3
with a crappy UI. So why doesn't Apple exploit the buzz around their
kickass OS Tiger and get something going for the dissatisfied
mainstream PC user?

I must say, the quality of discourse in this country has taken a sharp
plunge of late, not only among the ruffians and ne'er-do-wells from
whom one expects coarse speech, but among gentlemen of letters and
esteem. I have, with my own ears, several times in the past week, heard

I'm told that Buydig is a branch of Beech Camera.  Are these reputable
vendors for printers and cameras?  They have good prices on the HP
1320 that I was considering.  Any reason to avoid them?
Thanks

Is it the Tamron 28-300?  Is there a better with a little less tele?
It's for a friend who may not like me now that I got him addicted to L
glass.  I told him to get the 17-40 but he's complaining about the price for
such a short range and the lack of tele. He tried to use the ...

I know no matter how much I try to describe myself before asking this
question, I'll omit something relevant so I won't bother.  Anyway
is it stupid to consider buying a Canon Eos 20d (forget about the cost
for this discussion) and learning photography while using it?  Of

I just received and installed PS CS2.  I had used 5.0 previously with no
problem.  Now while I am working in CS2 my computer will crash with no
warning.  The screen on the monitor goes black and the computer reboots.
Starts all over.  I get a box when the restart is complete from ...

Never had this problem with 35mm, Tamron 80-210 was 3ft, photographing
objects from 8cm to 30cm wide no problem, but now cannot find a decent
lens for digital slr Canon 20D that enables this. They are all 1.2m or
more.  Sigma macro 105mm ok but requires leaning over table for close
