I received an e-mail from Hoodman Customer Service (Torrance, CA)today
since I had put out an inquiry to Ontario, Canada suppliers listed on
the Hoodman site for this Flipup Cap and it wasn't a product available.
The Ontario vendor must have sent my inquiry on to Hoodman.

As a long time user of Minolta 35mm SLR film cameras, I have been
interested in eventually obtaining a digital camera that will accept my
accumulated lenses. I have been considering the Konica Minolta Maxxum
D7, but undertsand a D5 version has recently been released. Can anyone

Recently, my lovable Olympus c4000z lens fell off.  Kinda weird yes, but it
happened.  I was wondering if anyone knew an approx price it would cost to
send off to Olympus or whomever.
Also, moreso is anyone interested in purchasing the camera for parts or to

I was surprised to see that the Canon Pixma 8500 (as well as other Pixma
models) are being discontinued.  Does anyone know the reason for this?  I
take it they weren't hot sellers or something?  I just bought mine about 6-7
months ago.

I bought a JVC GR-D90 a few days ago and now there is no audio.
Has anyone seen this problem?
Thanks,

One semi-frequently asked question is whether the Tamron or Sigma 18-200
is better.  Over the weekend I looked at back issues of Popular Photography
and recorded SQF scores for these two lenses, and the Sigma 18-125 as well.
Here are grades for 20x enlargements.  Although the Tamron ...

I need a bit of advice please,

We have a MicroScope with a conventional 'C' mount tube at work and I'd
like to mount my s602 on this tube. Can anyone tell me what kind of
adapter I need to mount the camera.
TIA.. Chris.

Can you please tell how pratically I can do the white balance
adjustment with the canon ixus 700 digital camera underwater?
Please explain me if I better do it at the depth I will work on ? I
will have to repeat it if I get to shallower?

Well, after reading some here and elsewhere, decided to learn some
digital photography and take the plunge into purchasing a new Canon
20d, Tamron 28-75  f/2.8 XR Di LD lens (for starters) and a 580ex
flash.  I expect I may want to expand on this later but I hope this

I read that Sony says not to use Litium batteries in this camera (but
alkaline are OK). I don't know that much about batteries but why is this?
Has anyone used lithium?
Thanks

Wonder if someone could help me, (Before I go on, I love my Sony DSCP200).
My friend wants to buy his wife a digital camera, 5mp, that is small, easy

  I used to be able to get legal size photo paper from Kodak, which I use
for printing 8 x 12 prints, but Kodak doesn't make it anymore.  Can't find
it anywhere else either.  Buying larger paper and cutting it down is a huge
waste of money, not to mention a paper cutter large ...
