I'm using a Canon 350XT digital rebel with kit lens and Sigma 70-300m
lens. Some pictures display noise - particularly in landscape sk
areas. This is not a problem at smaller print sizes but becomes a majo
problen at 12x18, 20x30, etc. Any suggestions welcomed.

I use three Nikon cameras (the Coolpix 8800, 8700, and the 4300), and have
several GB of memory cards.  Keeping track of the images is becoming a
problem, even with the "folders"
created in the cameras.

Cruising through Walmart for dog food, I glanced at the Pentax Optio
50, a pocket digicam. Cheap plastic, three-button thing, wouldn't last
a year. Three cameras down, sat an identical Vivitar digicam with the
same three buttons, mode dial, and all other bits the same. Price

I just wanted to let you know about Photo-Plugins
(http://www.photo-plugins.com) a site I set up to distribute free
Photoshop plugins for photo processing.
Check out:

I know how to change the resolution when I open up the camera to take
pictures.  However when I close it, the next time I open it, it's
forgotten what resolution I had chosen, meaning I have to go back into
the menus to change it again.

Does anyone know of any good software that I can use to make some panoramic
images of some pics I have taken. It must be relatively easy to use and I'm
willing to pay for it if it's good.

I am thinging about a change from my Nikon D100 to the D2x. I thing a lot
of D100-User are here in this group, which changed meanwhile to the D2x, so
which are you experiences? As the D2x is not cheap: is it worth to buy one
or did you regret that you changed?

This flash is on Sams Club web site for $225.84. Compatible it says
with Canon Mount works with SLR and Digital.  I have a DREB.

I'm sure this has been asked many times, but there are so many blasted
models out there it's hard to keep track.  Then they go and invent new
model numbers for different stores and minor features...
I want a small camera.  Something that I can always have on me for

Can one find somewhere a generic hotshoe to hotshoe flash cable (about 3ft
extended) to connect a Lumix FZ20 to an Olympus T-32 flash in manual mode?
Olympus has a hs-to-hs cable but prices range from $60 to $90! Rather
steep for a simple piece of wire and bits of plastic.

Thanks to CanonGirlie and BD for their advice on lense specs !!
I took the plunge and bought the Canon 350D today.  Very please with it
indeed, it makes using manual exposure so much easier than on my Digital.
Missing the 10x zoom I had on my Kodak DX-6490 though !!

I have a Nikon D100 and just recently bought a Nikon SB-600 Speedlight, which I
have yet to do much work with. I'll have to figure it out since I'm supposed to
shoot a concert next Saturday night. Correct, I'm not a professional
photographer. And I don't want to screw things up with ...

I'm looking for a cheap point and shoot digital camera (sub £150).  Doesn't
have to be high in pixel and least 3-4megapixel.
I'd like it to be fast from clicking the button to actually taking the
picture.

Would someone tell me how to set the shutter delay so that I get just one
shot at the end of the delay?
I've tried several things, and checked the manual, but cannot get it to do
anything but a three-shot sequence after the delay ends.
