I have a Canon digital Rebel with a Sigma 18-200 zoom, was very happy with
this lens, until I got a Canon 100-400 IS.  Now I am considering replacing
the Sigma with a Canon EF-S 17-85 IS.
Any 17-85 users out there with opinions?

Of all the NiMh battery chargers that charge cells individually on
the market, in your opinion, which one is the best if money is no
object?
Which one is the best value for the money?

Should a young photographer consider this kind of work as a potential
career? How good do you have to be to have your stuff here? Or is it
another Who-you-know deal?
How about Corbis in general? What kind of background does one need, to

Well, after months of agonizing over K10D vs K-100D I ordered a K-10D and a
couple of SanDisk 512 cards this afternoon.  Looking forward to playing with
it and my bag full of legacy K-mount lenses.
Time for the first major K10 product recall.

Hey, all, I have a Kodak DX7630 EasyShare camera that I bought, IIRC,

Does anyone have a Ricoh Caplio R5 camera?  Mine turned up yesterday
and was working fine (in mass storage mode) but today it will not
connect to any computer I try.  It just sits there saying "Connecting"
but never does.  I followed the instructions in the manual to the

I just got one of these lenses today. So far, I'm quite impressed with
it, it feels nice and solid, and the images are brighter than the
darkened room I'm taking them in. The autofocus is smooth and silent on
my D200. No images to post yet, but maybe later today or tomorrow.

My Canon S1 IS suddenly quit working and is showing E16 error on the

Thanks,
Matt
