I am looking for a zoom lense for my S5100 for closeups of birds and aquatic
creatures.
Fuiji doesn't offer much of a selection so was wondering if there are 3rd
party lenses, I believe it has a 52mm adapter.

I'm not a pro.  I guess I fall under "enthusiast."  I have an Olympus C5050
camera, with the WCON and TCON lenses, along with the FL20 flash (which, by
the way, is one of the best purchases I ever made - my indoor shots of my
children are so much better that I cannot imagine not ...

I am looking to buy a digital camera.  I have one but it is large takes
crappy indoor pictures and is hard to carry about.  I want something that
takes good low light photo and has the ability to take macro photos and crop
pictures any recomendations?

I just read the review of the Panasonic FZ20.  I trying to see how much
of this also applies to the FZ5.  The primary negative as noted by Pop
Photo is Noise.  They said that a ISO 80 the results are noisy but
acceptable.  At all of the remaining ISO setting they said that the

with the little one on the way I was wondering if it was worth me buying a
digital SLR camera to take better pictures? I just want to know how much

I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been lurking here for a couple of
months and learned a lot. Now I need to learn to apply what I've read.
I received my new dRebel XT last week and I love it. My prior camera was the
Minolta Z2 P&S.

I can't figure out why my 300D is over exposing all pictures that I take in
bright weather! It used to be near perfect and this last while it has been a
disaster. If I take a light reading on any of my film Canons and the picture
is perfect, the same picture taken with the 300D ...

I bought a Nikon D70 and the package includes two printed
versions of the User Manual in German and French ONLY. I am only
able to fully understand this kind of manual in Spanish, English or Italian
therefore:

Bruce Fraser's white paper at
http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/pdfs/linear_gamma.pdf
makes the case that half the information in a digital capture is in
the fifth, or highest, stop. And some digital cameras can capture and

I have been told that some compact flash cards are faster than others but I
don't see anyway to tell one from another when looking at them in the store.
There doesn't seem to be any objective rating measure on the package--except
for one that I saw. I have a couple of the compact ...

Being the proud owner of my first Nikon (a D70) I'm looking into the
possibilities of the telezoomlenses.
Now there's the new:
Nikon Zoom Telephoto AF VR Zoom Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8D G-AFS ED-IF

Has anyone done a comparison between the Nikon D50 vs. Canon Digital
Rebel XT?  I know the D50 was just announced but there is already a
preview at dpreview.com.  I read over the specs and from what I see it
looks like a scaled down D70 and doesn't look like it competes with the

I'd like to start creating some spherical panoramas for capturing the
insides of buildings (french churches).  My thought would be to buy the
fisheye EC-9 lens for my Nikon 8800.
Does anyone have experience doing this with the 8800 or one of its

I just bought a pentax optio s5i and a 1 gig sd card. My other camera
uses compact flash and it worked good. One time I washed the CF in a
washing machine and dried it by accident and it still worked.
Anything I should worry about when using a sd card?

Last week I received a print from a lab with a yellow cast and with
lifeless colours (not sure if you know what I mean). Since the lab
insisted that they use calibrated tools, I ordered a Spyder2Pro
calibration tool (the one from Pantone).
