My father has a Maxxum 7000, which he bought with a 30-70 zoom lens
with macro mode.  He’s bought a few other lenses over the years
but this zoom is his primary and it is beginning to fall apart.  The
camera is still in good shape.  Yes it’s older than dirt,

I am a person who really know nothing about photo equipments.
I just have this one digital camera, and I really went to photoshop
couple of times in my entire life!!
Well.. The thing is that I am just about to buy a 1 hour photo shop,

I'm planning a trip to Boston, Massachusetts, sometime this summer. Any
recommendations on what to see, photographically?

       Here I am, sitting on my a.s trying to watch TV, and there's all
these channels that suck! Home Shopping Network, CBN, MTV, and the list
goes on and on! Stupid shows that never change, no matter how much or how
loudly I shout at the TV! And there's dozens of them!

Although I could care less about fast flash sync, it appears to me

plan is to ramp production of the D70 to 90,000 units, but we

For most weddings, do you think a 35mm-equivalent zoom max'ing out
at 75mm is long enough?  Seems like 28mm is more than wide enough.
That's it, thanks.

Took this one tonight with the Totally Digital D60, of course.

The F-104 Starfighter is easily identified by it's sound.  It's almost a
whistle when it goes by.  Of course, it sounds more like thunder when the

Please, is Leica serie M still in production ? I know its production began
is fifties last century, and I know the newest Leica is serie R, but quite
often I see tourists are carrying Lieca M rangefinders which look surprisingly
new.

The Newark (NJ) Star Ledger newspaper is converting its digital photo
operation from Nikon to Canon.  As a result, the Star Ledger is selling
off some 60 Nikon D1 cameras, lenses, accessories, scanners etc. for
cheap. If anyone is interested, please contact:

Cameraquest seems to suggest that the Olympus RC may be a better
camera than the Rollei 35.
I'm considering the Olympus RC as a potential future purchase, how
does it compare to rollei 35 in your opinion?

First off - I hope that I'm in the correct newsgroup for this question: I'm in
the market for a 35mm point and shoot camera. I can't spend much more than
$300. Most of my photos are of family, friends, etc - just your regular stuff.
I've been using a cheap APS camera the past few ...
