I got my D70 today.  I've just been using it in Auto mode, and tried some of
my older Nikon lenses on it in manual mode.  So far my impressions are that
it is extremely fast, both focusing and shooting.  It feels like a "real"
camera, very solid and nice to hold.  JPEG photos ...

deleting the EXIF data from the jpeg version of the photograph and installing
it's useless crap instead?
Other programs, such as Micrografx, leave the data alone.
If I can't fix it, I will delete Photoshop. I don't need their useless ad in my

Has anyone tried this lens? I was thinking of getting it for my EOS
PDW

Now that Nikon has finally told us the release date and price of the D2x
(Feb 25, MAP of $4,999) are you going to get one? Personally, I think the
price is a little high, but still competitive. I would have liked to have
seen more aggressive pricing for this one.

According to this page f/8 is much sharper than higher or lower

I had no idea. It seems too simple, surely it varies depending on the

The Olympus flash for the E1 is around
$700 Can.  What ever happened to the days
when the average SLR user used a Vivitar
283/285 that cost about $100/ea??

Is there anything to be said for shooting with a 35mm film camera and
letting whoever does the processing put the images on a CD for you?
I realize your digital camera eliminates this step, but what are the pros
and cons, and when would this method be preferred, if at all?

where can I find any good soft?

I just tried a shot at f/36 with the D70 & it looks like someone
splattered mud on my lens. Is that sensor dust? It is invisible at
reasonable f-stops. Here is a 100% crop:

I've got old negatives I'd like to 'scan' using my D70, so I can
put them on webpages, share easily, manipulate & get printed, and
also archive for safety.
What kit would be best for this?  What kind of lens?  A macro

A new Sigma EF-500 DG Super ETTL flash showed up yesterday, so last night
I hooked it to my DigiReb when some friends came over, and took some indoor
shots. Nearly all of the them came out underexposed - anywhere from
"significantly" to "majorly" underexposed. I tried both in Av ...

Hi, I recently picked up the Gitzo Explorer aluminum G2220 and hands
down believe it is a great tripod, however my focus is macro. If I ever
upgrade from the Nikkor 105mm to the 200mm will these legs still work?
If I should just go bigger now what should I get? Please keep in mind

I have heard some speculations about upcoming replacement for Canon eos
300d. Has anyone anything to add to start a good rumourmill?!

I am looking to move up from a Canon S45 to a SLR.
I was thinking of getting a 70mm-200mm f2.8 Zoom (probably a Sigma not a
Canon L) until I ran across this:
