A couple of years ago I bought several 123 batteries and never used them.

I'm looking for a lightweight camera that does portrait well and could be
used in video conferencing, if that's possible and won't disappoint on
vacation/landscape pictures.
Thanks

Folks,
Has anyone ever tried doing an apples to apples vignetting comparison
between a full frame DSLR (e.g. 5D) vs. a 35mm film SLR? Specifically,
using the same lens on both cameras shooting an evenly lit white or

Hi everyone, I hope this is an appropriate forum.
I have heard about a technique where multiple exposures are taken of a

Sorry if this sounds like an add but I think it's important.  Having
recently bought a Nikon D70s I found the manual lacking somewhat in

automatically resize/move photos to fit as many photos as you want into one

use.
Must use AA batteries.

I hope to buy a Canon 20D very soon. Now, I need to find a vendor. I am
looking for ease of service and rapid turn-around when it comes time to
have my camera serviced or repaired. It would be nice if the vendor has
multiple offices nationwide, so I could have service when I travel.

I'm looking for a Flashgun for my Canon EOS300D - something with bounce head
