If the review wasn't completely positive,
the rejoinders from the Canonites are:
-You didn't do it right!
-You got a bad lens sample!

Why would Canon use the same model number? This presumes the Canon 5D
exists.

My friend is able to view thumbnails in XP for his RAW files, yet he can't
remember how he done it, does anyone out there know how to achieve this?
Thanks

Hey all,
In RPD, I noticed the following comment (specific attribution not
necessary):
"...[Poster was] irritated with Canon for sacrificing ISO 100

I just got a new threaded generic sunshade for one of my older lenses.  To
test it should I just take a photo of the sky and look for dimming in the
corners?  Using it mostly for protection, but don't want it to clip the
image.

What settings for everyday use do you guys/gals use on the D2X?
I seem to remember somewhere that an EV of -1 was recommended?
I only take jpeg files , and use a lot of flash for family shots.
However also interested in settings for general photography.

What is the top speed of sd memory?  I have a 45X with my Nikon d50 and
wish to buy a faster one in the 1 Gig flavour.  Thanx. AJ

Just to add fuel to the debate about the quality of the canon kit lens.
I entered 3 photos in the Davis, Utah county Fair that I shot with the
kit lens on the Canon Digital Rebel.  I entered in the Pro-Am division.

Using Elements 3 and a Canon 20D, the camera displays a RAW image but
Elements [and Windows explorer] says no files present.
Can't import what isn't found, even though the image is on the camera.
What am I missing?

My Canon 300D has ISO settings from 100 to 1600 and test shots on
dpreview.com show very little difference at 400 and below.
Is there *any* reason to use 100 if 200 has imperceptably more noise
and one stop faster shutter speed is apt to result in a sharper

Sorry...it's just that Rich hasn't posted in the last few days and I didn't
want to break the continuity of this newsgroup.

Going to Ireland (in 8 weeks) taking my D-70. As a backup battery I'm
taking the CR-2 holder stuffed with cells.
was wondering (only if I need to use it) how many shots (average) I can
expect to get. I know this is hard to answer.

I have bought a Nikon D70 with the Nikkor AF Zoom 28-80mm f/3.3-5.6G lens.
My previous camera was the Nikon F401 & I'm wondering if the AF Zoom-Nikkor
70-210mm f/4-5.6 AI-S lens will work properly with the D70.
The auto focus seems to work but I've been told that the auto metering ...

I am looking at buying a used D70, is there any way I can tell how many
pictures the camera has taken in total?
Thanks in advance,
Nicholas

I've been reading some reviews (and newsgroup rants, raves, etc) about
the d50 and I would really like to hear what makes it so "entry level"
and might make it not suitable for a "serious amateur"?  By the way I
currently use a Canon G2.
