I want to start by thanking all those that post on my original question -
6.3m.p. 10D or 8.0 350D.  I decided to go with the NEW 8.0 with a $75 rebate
and warranty.  I really do like it's size/weight compared to the 10D.  I'm a

I have done a quick search, but did not come up with a definitive
answer.. It appears the usb on the Nikon D70 is the usb 1 with a
transfer rate of 12mbs and not the usb 2.0.. I think I just wasted money

acceptable, but there's the drive(s) to Mississauga and the fact that

According to the Canon white paper on this camera, this camera's
sensor is fronted by a dichroic filter.  This implies the filtering
coating is on the front of the sensor's coverglass.  If this is the
case, the coating on the glass could be softer than normal glass.

I am new to this newsgroup so if this question has been answered, please

I am wondering if the Evolt 500 8 megapixel would give me "better" pictures
than the Nikon D70s 6 megapixel camera, based on pixel size alone.

I am a recent convert to digital photography having bought a Nikon D70s with
a kit lense of 18-70mm.  I am now interested in buying a zoom telephoto
lense.
In looking on Wolf Camera web site I see a 70-300mm Nikon zoom lense for

As mentioned here a few weeks ago, my D70 (two years old) was cycling thru various shutter speed and
aperture settings whenever I turned it on or restarted the meter (7 second default shutdown time).
I sent the camera to the Melleville, NY, Nikon service center for repair.
Got it ...

I'm about to buy a Nikon D50. I'm new to DSLRs and have done a lot of
research into which one to get - I've finally decided on the D50
(Please don't try and put me off at this point!!).
Question is, I'm trying to work out which lense to get. I'm likely to

Serious question - let me explain.
We love dslr's, we love lenses, flashguns, tripods, monopods, bags, and
gadgets of every shape and size.
We spend (most of us) more than we can afford on this passion of ours, and
