I like to shoot people who aren't posing
for the camera.  But a noisy shutter
makes my subjects nervous.  Which digital
cameras are most quiet?  Any price range.

The D70 gives a range of exposure bracketing from -2EV to +2EV with numerous
increments in between.
Assuming that I want "one under, one over, and one right on" what determines
whether I go in steps of 1/3, 1/2, or a full EV?

It has been years since I have done any programming so I my knowledge
of editors is out of date.  I need something that will allow me to view
in ascii, hex, dec and binary and easily calculate offsets, plus search
and replace in buffer.  I am sure I can find something on Tucows but ...

Well, with the exception of very wide angle photographers, I can't
understand why everyone has gone full frame crazy.  Mmm, no thanks.
For example, how much would a EF 480mm f4.0 L IS USM cost?  Well, with a
cropped sensor camera, around £875 for the 300mm.  The price for a EF ...

I read somewhere in one of these newsgroups about making sure your name
is included in the EXIF information when taking a picture. I have a
Canon Digital Rebel and wondered where in the menu I would go to set
that up.

   I'm contemplating buying the new EF-S 17-55 f2.8 IS lens from Canon.
I'll be using it on a 30D.
   If you have any comments to make about the lens's optical or mechanical
performance, I'd sure like to hear them before I buy.

I would like to show you the picture of the
week. I called it "just an illusion".
In square and b&w.

THIS REALLY REALLY WORKS!!!!!!!!!!! GET RICH FAST FOR REAL THIS
TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it. A little while
back, I was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and

At least that is the case with the HTMC coated filters from Hama I'm
using. Or are there high quality coated polariser filters which do not
take away so much light?

I am trying (fort the first time) to open a RAW file that I shot with my
D70. I'm using Photoshop7.
When I "Open as" I get a dialog box that shows the following:

I have a D70 which has been flashed with the v2 firmware.
Just as a matter of interest what is the write speed of the D70 to the
CF card? I'm currently using a Lexar x80 card but would going even
faster make a difference or, conversely, how slow could I go without

I own a typical 5mp canon digital camera.  When taking a shot, does it
matter if you press the button halfway through before pressing it all
the way or should I press it all the way down in one quick motion?  I
know it's a stupid question but I'm a newbie.  The manual says when you

Are there any digital point and shoots with fast lenses (say, f 1.8)
currently being produced?
