I know that the institution of rebates is meant to rip you off so I'm
quite anal about paying attention to the details and ALWAYS sending in
the rebate with delivery confirmation.  The delivery confirmation at
least minimizes the "Sorry, we never received your rebate" or "Sorry, ...

I recently bit the bullet and purchased a Lensbaby 3G. I have wanted
one ever since I saw an article in Shutterbug or something, but I'm
really glad I waited for version 3 because this little beauty is quite
a piece of workmanship.

I'd like to get a decent but cheap photo and general-purpose
laminator. I was wondering
if anyone had any advice. I saw one for around 80 bucks at Sam's Club.
What should I watch

I'm curious if anyone here uses an underwater housing for their digital
camera, and what your experiences are.
We have been buying disposable waterproof cameras for snorkeling on our
vacations, but they have a number of problems:

I've got to snag a graphics program for a laptop PC (1.6ghz, 1gb RAM)
for use on the road. Lightroom and Elements 5.0 are in my budget
range, and seem to have some things in common. Any advantages to one
over the other?

In the old days, when I took pictures using either 35 or 120 films, I
sent the film to the lab for developing and printing. That was
generally the end of the story. If some of the pictures are too dark,
or too bright...., the camera store that develops the film perhaps may

I would like to gather opinions on the most appropriate film scanner to
purchase  to archive a collection of my late father and grandfathers b/w
negatives, mainly 6" x 4". Some are glass plate the most normal negs of
street scenes and faces in the 1920's, 1930's and 1940's in ...

My first digital camera, a Sony Mavica CD1000 has IS and it takes
very good shots but only has 2.1 megapixels. I still use my Mavica
because it is so good. Having said that, I wanted a smaller, higher
megapixel camera to take with me everywhere. I bought the Canon A640

What is the best way to set up the FZ-20 to get pics of kids in low
light?  This situation requires large lens openings, and yet
reasonably fast shutter speeds because the little brats won't sit
still.  How should I set up these things to optimize the camera:

Does anyone know about an image management package which will print
selected EXIF data as a caption?
Data I would like could be: camera, lens, ISO, shutter, f-stop, etc.

Anyone know why Canon stopped making the Canon 200mm F1.8L?  I would imagine
that it was because there was not enough demand for this lens?

I'm need to buy a small camera (for days when I don't have the SLR
with me...) and am debating between Canon's SD700 and the SD800. I've
seen mixed things in the reviews re: image quality -- does anyone have
experience with the two, and an opinion to offer?

Is the hot shoe the same on all Canon EOS camera's would a flash advertised
to fit on EOS 30D 20D 5D 1D fit ok on my 400D.
