Thanks for your time to read this.

Why is the Canon Rebel XT ($700 J&R) more than the Nikon D50($580 J&R)?
They are both entry level SLRs, and seem to have similar features;
the D50 has 6.1mp while the XT 8mp, but is that all?
While the Pentax *iST-DL 6mp is even less at $460.

Have a D70 & SB800 combination - excellent for most things, but I feel that
I need quite a bit more light for outdoor shots at night (in the middle of
nowhere).
Do any of you have any reasonably priced recommendations, please?

I've got a D100 and have gotten a lot of use out of it.  Some of the
things I don't like are the slowness of getting the picture to the
compact flash and it has a tendency to under expose.  I'm considering
replacing it with a D200.  Would anyone care to comment?  I'm not a pro

Regarding the sigma 70-300 apo macro, what is the difference between the
older one made for 35mm and the new 'DG' one ? Is the fov for both changed
to the equivalent of x1.6 on dslrs ? Can the DG be used on a 35mm, and can
an older non-DG model fit the rebel xt?

I'd like to know prices of lenses of any brand which are 300mm or
above.
prime, telephoto, etc.Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Tamron, Sigma, Minolta, I
dont care.

Hi all, this group has been quite helpful so far, so I thought I'd ping
the group expertise yet again.
I'm interested in posting some picture galleries online, but want to
sell the digital files, not prints. Do any of the reputable services

A quick question (at least I hope it's quick), would one recommend the
Olympus E-500 dual-lens kit or the Canon Rebel XT.  (Prices in my area
are similar between the two.)  I'm interested in both outdoors and
indoors photography.  I owned a Minolta X300 (Europe) back in the day,

i have a Nikon D70s with the standard 18-70 lens. i am planning to buy
a new lens and i love the  Nikn 70-200 f/2.8 VR lens. But it is too
expensive for me at this stage.
Could you recommend any other lens (Sigma / Tamron or Nikkor itself)

Anyone know of a "fanny pack" style solution to carrying a D200. I'm kinda
fed up with carrying a towel lined rucksack!

I'm looking for a bag recommendation for:
* Canon 5D
* Canon 70-200 2.8 IS (about 7.7" long high preference for it being
attached to the camera)

A few weeks ago, when the 30D was announced, I posted that  I was
disappointed with the 30D. The reason for this disappointment was
that I was expecting a 10+MP camera. I own a 10D so was expecting an
increase from 6MP to 10MP...a worthwhile improvement to justify the

What does it mean when the description of a macro lens says, "reproduction
ratios of up to 1:1"?  Clearly, I can display or print the image at any
size I want, and get any magnification ratio at all.

I used to be a pretty good amateur photographer (used a 35 mm film
SLR), but for a variety of reasons I haven't done much photography in
the past 15 years or so. I'm getting back into it now, but I need some
advice.

OK, people, I have some money to spend.
What would you suggest to order along with a D200 body? I am interested in
mostly country sports, action shots, etc. and am usually inclined to use
telephotos rather than wide angles. I have read various debates about the
