I've been deliberating for a couple of weeks now whether to buy a Panasonic
FZ30 with its 35mm-420mm equivalent f2.8-3.7 zoom or to go all out and get a
DSLR with suitable lenses. I am now in no doubt that based on handling,
operational speed, viewfinder and sensor quality the ...

I need to copy/move JPG files out of a folder containing NEF and JPGs.
With MSDOS years ago, I would just "copy *.jpg" to another folder. That
command would leave the NEF files and copy only the JPGs.  Does anybody
know how to do this with Windows?

Simple question:   I've got a D70s,  would I benefit from an extreme
III CF as opposed to an extreme II card?
Thanks,

While of course glad that the camera is in the birthing process and that
it is somewhat up to date in sensor pixel count, I can't help but see
what's missing from it:  (Please correct any errors I may have made).
Lacks:

Henry's outlet store in Toronto was dumping off a bunch of older
lenses, off brands, etc,
for $20/ea.  But mixed in with these were a handful of Canon 50mm f1.8
FD series lenses

I've had my D200 for under a week now, and I'm just learning how it works.  
I can see why you would want ISO and WB buttons in a convenient place
because those are things that seem like you would be changing whenever the

I've been testing the Canon 5D with a Hoya R72 IR filter. The results
are up here

or you can also find it with the other 16 cameras tested this way here:

I have the opportunity to pick up a used Pentax A 400mm/f2.8 ED-IF to use
with my *ist DS -- I've used my Promaster 70-300mm 4-5.6 exclusively up to
now in wildlife photography, and feel that I need to make a move up to
improve my image quality and composition.  Other than the ...

Anyone notice you hardly ever see such things on sites like Pbase?
Makes me wonder if they are anything more (from cameras capable
of taking a 1600-3200 ISO shot of quality) than "utility shots" taken
because there was no other way to get them.  I've yet to see

I'm new to this group, having finally made the jump and sold all my
Contax/Yashica gear to fund a Canon 30D, 17-40 f/4L and 70-200 f/4L.
I'm enjoying getting to grips with all this, but I already know my next
move will be to cover the wider-angle end (I've saved my longest 35mm

Would my D50's light meter work with a Nikkor 50mm f1.4 manual focus lens?
Thanks for any info...

An open question for the optical geniuses around here:
The recent discussion of optical design and the true definition of
aperture ratio (along with the definitions of "entrance pupil" and
everything that discusses actual lens design as opposed to the

    I am currently using a Elan 7 film camera. I am thinking of
switching to Digital camera. I am debating between a 30D and Rebel XT.
I understand they are different animal. From my little research  as far
as i can decipher the differences is as follows:

Any info on Sony's new dSLR?
