When I use one or two BP511A battery packs in the BG-E2, the battery
indicator level is fine. When I use six AA cells in the battery tray,
the level quickly falls to the second to lowest level. I'm wondering if

Good day, and thank you in advance for your assistance.
I am beginning to look for a digital SLR - never had digital. I want an SLR
because more things are eventually possible by varying lenses, not because I
have really great skills. Also, I'm going to Alaska this year so I want ...

I have just purchased a Nikon D50 body only and a Sigma 28-300mm
F3.5-6.3 DG MACRO lens for it.
When I am in Manual mode (S, A, M) the selected focus rectangle is on
the right of the screen. Is this the focus area? I cannot change this

Looking for some guidance on the "less bad" options.  We're looking at
a fly-in to Katavi NP in Tanzania, which has a total baggage weight
limit of only 15kg/person, so there's not much lattitude for bringing
along 'just in case' equipment.

Should I bother asking Canon to change the sensor of my 20D
due to the presence of a cluster of hot pixels? It really becomes
noticeable at long exposure times (of the order of seconds) in
night shots. It sounds like nothing, but it is annoying to find

If I'm interested in doing night photography (mostly of distant scenery)
with exposure times ranging up to 1 minute, I need to know whether a DSLR
like the Nikon D70 with NR turned on will yield a much cleaner image
(dark-noise-wise) than a good point/shoot digital with NR noise ...

I love my SB800 flash. It's made as much difference in my photos as...
well almost as much as the difference between a lower end camera and
dSLR. But I'm wondering about powering it. I've been using Energizer
Lithium, but I've been thinking about a battery pack like the Quantum

I thought it was too much to hope for, given it's $999 kit street
price, but when I saw the images, I knew it wasn't plastic!
Here's the proof.

I'm preparing some photos for a slide show on a digital projector and I
know those awful things boost contrast so I'm thinking of reducing
contrast on the images.
My projector bulb is burned out at the moment though so I can't test.

I have my Canon 20D on a tri-pod connected to a studio strobe by using the
camera's PC terminal. The strobe is GN92 w/100ASA and have 3 stop variable
power control.
The strobe flashes first and then I hear the camera shutter click, which

I'm considering buying a mid-range telephoto lens for my Nikon D70s. I have
already had the kit lens (18-70mm f/3.5-4.5) and a normal prime (50mm
f/1.8). The lenses I'm considering are:
AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 VR

I am using the 30 day trial version of Nikon Capture 4.4 for Windows.
I have only found the "Help" manual within the software, not a User's
Guide, and I tried to print it. I was doing duplex to use both sides of
paper when my printer apparently overheated and I'm stuck with

I am looking at an used lens :
ALBINAR ADG 80-200mm 1:3.9 MACRO ZOOM LENS (Nikon mount)
Has anybody used it with D70 cameras ?
I want to get into Macro photography and this one is very very very

You know that Sony Bravia advert (presuming its a global campaign) of all
the coloured balls bouncing down some street in San Francisco? I presumed it
was all CGI right from the word go. Looking closely at the advert only
confirmed my suspicions in my own mind.
