I have a Nikon D70 & prefer landscape photography. Currently I use a Sigma
10 - 20 mm zoom but when I used a Nikon F2 I just had a primary 28mm Nikkor,
is the quality of say a 18mm Primary lens better than a wide angle zoom.

As I'm looking to purchase a digital SLR camera, what photos do you
personally most like taking (or what one/s do you find turn out much
better) on a digital SLR camera and please say why.
If anyone can provide links, to either their own web page/s, or that of

Just bought myself a Canon 350D (second hand) on eBay. It comes with the kit
Canon EFS 18-55mm lens and a Sigma AF 28-70mm lens.
I am led to believe that the kit lens isn't all that good, but that the
Sigma is a decent lens.

Personally, I dont get why anyone would go for it, but...
...this outfit has the Evolt-500 for $1200.

is the 18-80mm lens they are offering as a kit better than the standard

Same shot, but 1/4th second (actually .03 seconds, which is even slower).

The question of IS/VR usefulness still seems to come up a lot.  -Especially
questions about why anyone would care to have IS at wide angle.  Here's an
example of a room that was VERY dimly lit (despite the brighter look due to
purposeful exposure).  This is hand-held at 24mm ...

Thom Hogan says that it will be the D3h. There are hints of another
consumer camera (D60?) to replace the D50.
Sooo.
D3h?

I got the 50 mm f/1.8 AF lens for my new Canaon 30D.
It is much sharper than the 18-55 zoom that comes with the
camera, at f/3 to f/8 or so.
The autofocus works good enough on three dimensional

Is there a way to set the FPS on a 1D Mark II to exactly 5 frames per
second?  I'd like to test how that actually works shooting the
subjects I usually shoot (horses, athletics) at a high FPS rate before
renting or buying a body (such as the 30D) that maxes at 5 FPS.  I

I already have the 2.8 version, but many are going to jump on this one...

I'm a fifites freak and bought an Kodak Instamatic at a thrift
store--the thing is built (it's heavy).
I'm wondering what other people use old equipment. Any photos to look
at that you scanned?

I have a Rebel XT with the EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM lens and will probably
get the new EF 70-200mm f4L IS USM lens when it arrives.  Are there any
metering or AF compatibility issues between this setup and the canon 1.4x or
2x Extenders?

Ok, I'm in the market for my first DSLR (upgrade from 35 mm SLR and
Nikon 5700).
I've been looking at reviews on the Sony A100, Nikon D80/D200 and Canon
30D.

I have had a D200 for about eight months, and while I generally love it, it
has been plagued with a disturbing number of problems.
First was the long banding--I believe they replaced the sensor to fix that,
but afterward pixels started dying. First I had three dead pixels remapped,
