Greetings! I am thinking of wearing a photo vest which has many pockets
to store passport, small digital camera and batteries etc. I shall be
traveling to London, Paris and Rome in late May and June 2006. One bad
point I can think - It will immediately mark me as tourist.

It seems that when ever I take pictures they come out blurry or too
dark or light  looking for some software that could help me fix
theses problems????

I am planning a home studio of sorts to perhaps generate a little extra
income on the side.  I know absolutely nothing about purchasing lighting; I
just know I need some.  I already have made some backgrounds from bulk
muslin cloth and Rit dye, they came out great for just a few ...

Just a quick note to let you know, that if you have a Sigma Ef500 DG flash
that isn't working on your D200, Sigma is doing speedy, free upgrades.
I sent mine in, & got it back in only a couple of weeks.  It works just fine
on my D200, now.

I recently picked up a 4.0 GB Sandisk Microdrive for my hardly used
CP5K,
but am unable to format it.  I thought the camera was MicroDrive
compatible,

My wife wants to replace her  three or four year old Sony DSC-S85
camera mostly because we understand that newer cameras have eliminated
the annoying shutter delay of the older generation digital cameras.
As a graphic designer she also used the camera sometimes to take

Ordering a panny dmc-tz1 which has no threads for adding an
adapter/filter. Does another scheme exist
for using a filter with a non-threaded camera..like a slip-on ring?

If you want to highlight images in the foreground and blur the background,
should the F stop numbers be small or large?
Regarding ISO, in general should ISO be set at 200 for inside photos and
higher ISO's for outside?

Good Evening,
I have a Canon EOS 1000 (film) with lenses.
I think it may be time to become digital.
Q.Can I use the same lenses with a Canon EOS 350d (digital) ?

I have a Canon 20D camera and I'm trying to decide between 3 Canon lenses
for wide angle shooting.
#1. EF-S 10-22mm F/3.5-4.5 USM  $799.99
#2. 17-40mm F4 L USM EF             $799.99

I just bought a Nikon camera with battery charger MH-18a. It charges lithium
ion batteries. My question is about charging the battery. Can I put the
battery on charge when it is half full to top it off or do I have to drain
it completely before charging it. Some people have told me ...

Hi group
Any recommendations on books about composition?  It seems like all the
classics are now out of print.

has anybody made experiences with the "Lens Error" problem? (camera switched
on -> objective out, "lens error", objective does not retract again) Any
possibility to get the lens retracted into its usual "off"-position?

A friend just offered one of these guys to me. Any known problems, or
comments about it? Looking through his pictures, a few are very good,
but almost everything not shot in bright sunlight (i.e. on an overcast
day) seems significantly underexposed.
