I have recently bought a Canon 350D.  I am yet to work out how to
manually turn the flash on or off in any of the modes.
I know that there is the "Flash Off" mode, but it would be nice if you
are using, for example, the "Macro" or "Portrait" mode to be be able to

I am trying (fort the first time) to open a RAW file that I shot with my
D70. I'm using Photoshop7.
When I "Open as" I get a dialog box that shows the following:

There are people scanning 4x5 film at 48 bit depth in order not to ruin
the images when  they are manipulated digitally.  Isn't it time for
consumer
DSLRs to at least go to 14 bits?  Most professional CCD cameras provide

I finally got around to installing the Sony RAW converter - it's pretty good, it
has all the bells and whistles you'd expect, ( like Adobe Lightroom I suppose
but since Adobe can't run a simple web site I couldn't get their software so
screw them but I digress...)

Is there a new Canon SLR to be announced end of August???
Think I read it somewhere recently.
Thanks.

My needs: I will use the camera for work and personal. I will mainly be

something
that is not too difficult to learn to use but has features that I can

Ok, there's walmart and target for the family photos, but there must be some
online service that you send your digital file and get a professionaly

I'm heading to China for a 2 1/2 week trip and recntly bought a battery grip
for my Rebel XT.  It's the only electronic item I'll be bringing so in order
to leave my adapters and charger home I was thinking about using AA
batteries in the grip.

I've got a Meade 4" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope which (in theory) can be
used as a 1000mm lens (if I did the math right, it should be just about
f/11).  Adapter mounts are available at quite reasonable prices to hook it
up to a Nikon lens mount (I'm ordering one today).

I have an old solartec st320 flash which is not dedicated to the Rebel XT.

Does it exist?
I want software that can catalog Canon RAW files (extract EXIF data,
autorotate, etc), and let me organize them by person, date, keyword,
category, place, event etc. Allow editing/converting (RAW) images with

Does anyone know if the raw input of Elements 4 is the same as the full feature
CS2 version?
I have Elements 4 and I don't want to blow $850 on software that has the same
raw ability...

I just shot pic's of coins with the Nikon D70 and the Sony A100 using the kit
lenses, both set to 70mm.
Both lenses focus up to about 8" from the front of the lens, which are both
about the same length, however, the object image in the Sony is twice the size
