Hey, folks.
I'm an increasingly avid amateur, who's pretty much outgrown his Canon
300D.
I'm currently waiting (as are many) for the 40D, as it'd be a nice

I am working for a organization that wants to set up a photo archive
on their server.  It needs to be searchable, easily updatable, cheap
(I'm working for a non profit), and if possible, I would like to set
it up in such a way that people can comment on the pictures.

At least from a manufacturing and supple standpoint!  To prevent supply and
demand problems Apple has refused to release the iPhone till they had enough
in stock (3-million units) to meet high customer demand.  Now if Nikon and
Canon would take the effort to follow this business ...

I'm looking at this shot and wonder how the photographer made it work:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/futura/493098518/in/set-72157594562627177/
I realize that the shot is out of focus, but each time I attempt this
sort of thing the result is very poor: the dark areas are all yellowy

I had read on this post that someone had said they used a Rocket Blower
(Compressed Air) to clean the dust off the Sensor, is this ok to do
would the sensor become damaged ?? what about using one of those blue
rubber things and just do it without the force of compressed air

Ok so i patched my S3IS.  I like some of the tools that came with the CHKD
patch.  one is the ability to shoot raw images.  so now not only do I get
the jpg but also the crw.  photoshop won't recognize these images.  gimp
will now that its patched.  The CHKD Wiki it says to use ...

I am looking at purchasing a Nikon D80 package with the following lenses as
described in the item information:
AF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 G II DX
AF-S 55-200mm f/4-5.6 G DX VR

I've made several additions to http://batterydata.com, a web site that
compares the pros and cons of NiMH AA batteries and Li-Ion battery packs
for digital cameras.
You can also get there by entering "nimh versus li-ion" on Google or

Olympus charges $30 for their digital camera SDK (Canon also
has an SDK for their camera's and they give it away for FREE).
I have to use  an Olympus camera for my experiment so I need
to try out the SDK for certain functionality which I am not sure

Hi, all.
I've finally found this group. :)
I'm planning to buy a DSLR camera. I figured out there are several
types of CCD size. Of course 1:1 CCD will be better than the crop. But

Inability to rotate pics has got to be the most annoying thing about
shooting digital.  If you use a pic viewer (such as CompuPic) to
rotate and then save at 100%, the file size increases 3X.  I used the
rotate feature on ACDSee, file size remained the same.  But  does that

I tried searching on the net for this but to no definite conclusion.
Does the 400d allow you to select an autofocus point off-centre?  I have
read that it has 9 auto focus points, but does this mean that you can set up
to nine at once and, if you want, use only one?  I have used a ...

The sales blurb about the Sony DSC-W200 says that you get "3x optical zoom
and 6x precision digital zoom for superb clarity". Because this camera has
only a 3x zoom function (35mm to 105mm), I thought that, for stills, if you
use the precision digital zoom, you would get superb ...
