First post to the group, so will start by simply saying hello.
I am here as I have just purchased a Canon EOS 350D (in the states its
the Rebel something or other). I have wanted a DSLR for a while now
having only a Exilim digital camera up until now.

I'm shooting on the beach in brilliant sunshine. Slight haze with a
POL filter and a low sun behind me.  I'm taking a picture of a white
sailboat on blue water.  The POL filter knocks out any reflections
from the water.  

Wondering if there is a site that has untouched image files downloaded
direct from digital cameras.  I'm considering the Oly 5060 vs 8080 and
would really like to see the difference that (among other things) the
5MP vs 8 MP would yield.  I've tried a couple sites, but I suspect

Hey all.
I just got a Canon 300D, and am scrutinizing it to make sure if it's
got any problems out of the box.
I did a 30 second exposure with the lens cap on, to identify hot

It's been a long time since I've bought a new camera, and I now see
that haven't been keeping up with emerging technology.
I'm looking for an education / side-by side comparison of features.
Looking at websites, it seems some newer cameras are reviewed on each

Hi guys, I have a photo which I took for my soon-to-be ex wife. It shows her
new cottage in its surroundings.
The problem is the power lines that run from one end of the shot to the
other, I have tried various times to remove them, but cant seem to get it

Greetings! I shall be doing some travel in future. I have two cameras -
One Kodak Dx6490 with ten X zoom - (38 to 380 mm)and another Canon A510
with 4x zoom (35 to  140 mm) 35 mm camera lens equivalent. How do I
join the pictures taken with these two different camers so that

Wonder if I am on the correct Newsgroup page to ask about the purchase of a
Digital Camera.? (I have just found the Page.)
As a 70 years old (+) Using a 35 mm Camera I am considering purchasing a
Digital Camera.

Very low image noise.
Only drawback seems to be use of SD cards.
Destined to sell well over a million in coming 12 months.

Can  anyone  recommend a good  and  inexpensive  source  to print 35mm slides    from digital files?
What  is a good  price?
$1.77  seems  high.....
Thanks

Just bought a Canon 20D and am wondering why they only have Jpeg and Raw and
no Tiff.  If I shoot in the Raw mode and use the Canon software to transfer
from camera to computer can I then go to my Photoshop 7 and work on the Raw
file? I guess What I am saying is now that I have 8 ...

Hoping for some advice here... I want to buy a DSLR, very strong
preference for Nikon mount, for shooting in very low light situations
- underground. Long exposures under difficult/low ambient light. See:

Since buying my Fuji 4900Z I have been taking photos in auto mode and have
had some very good results and some bad ones. The bad ones are mainly due to
my inexperience in taking shots of people with a bright window background
and of course the exposure selected automatically is for ...

Ok, I am looking at two cameras. They will be primarily for outdoor
shooting of landscapes, wildlife etc. This is just for personal
enjoyment.
The cameras:

I have four options on my Olympus 5060. What should I use as I mainly take
landscapes, architectural shots of building or street scenes and the latter
often have the bottom of the buildings in shade and the sky in bright light.
I need to find one setting only as I have take a ...
