A DSLR sized sensor coupled to an expensive zoom lens
for $1000.  How much to sell it with the lens being removable?
Probably cheaper than what a top flight zoom from a camera
company and an entry level DSLR would be.  Sony could release

Dear group members:
I wanted to post some questions and first reviews on my new equipment to
obtain some feedback from you as well as have you share your own
experiences.

When turning the camera on or any time the metering function is taking place in
the camera, the display cycles through multiple combinations of apertures and
speed. If I take a picture, the camera will use the setting that is currently in
the cycle, which usually means a garbage ...

I saw it today.  All (and I mean all, including "wince" the filter
threads) is plastic.  Because it has an APS sensor, it should be
capable of shots similar to an entry-level DSLR, but herein lies
the rub;  It costs $1299 Can. or as much as an:

I'm considering purchasing a "large format" printer - one that will handle
around a 24" width paper. I've had a look for a newsgroup that might be more

Have any of you good folks been involved with them for photo-quality

Anyone have any experience with these CF cards?

got the same result. I a lso tried putting in a different Cf card with

I know about a half a dozen people in my neck of the woods who have. I
have been very tempted, but two things are standing in my way: finances
and the fear of finding faults with early versions of the camera (as is
usually the case).

Is it possible to make a sharp 300/5.6 at $500? EF-S? It is not much
dimmer than 300/4, and not much shorter than 400/5.6, and still within
the AF limit of f/5.6. If it is much less expensive, would it have a
larger market than 300/4 and 400/5.6?

I got the message, "We don't appreciate that kind of language here."
from the mechanism that regulates posts.  I change a bunch of words
and acronyms but it still got caught.  Aside from the philosophical

"The 5D is the first moderately-priced dSLR with a full-frame image
sensor, eliminating the crop factor or focal length multiplier that
has made wide angle shooting difficult with dSLR's; the Canon EF
