I am currently experimenting with AEB bracketing and HDR,
and noticed a strange, annoying behaviour of the 30D:
The AEB bracketing setting gets reset to no bracketing
every time I change a lens. That can be pretty annoying

I think this (likely) $500 lesson should be a warning to everyone.
Olympus's anti-dust system works, consider it.

I have a small website (link below) created on a 17" Samsung SyncMaster 172W
monitor (Wide screen) & friends of mine say that the proportions of the
photos when viewed on a conventional TFT/CRT monitor are a bit narrow and
tall. I would have thought that the proportions would be ...

John and David,
I did some nosing around with Google and discovered somethat that
you two guys might have/probably did tell me about the Samsung
244T (or 245T). It isn't just a 1920 x 1200 native resolution

Talked it over with the wife and I have about another $1,500 - $2,000 for
photography tools.
I am thinking
Better Tri-pod.

is there any list of Canon lens numbers around - such as order numbers
or versions?
Example: Canon EF 28-90
A first version may have been *EF28-90 f/4-5.6*

I read the following under DPReview's "Press Release" section of their review
of a pre-release 40D:
...new EF-S lenses are launched today in conjunction with the EOS 40D

Both Leica and Zeiss are not turning out "cut rate" lenses.  The
introduction of plastic, the cheapening of the quality of the lenses
to allow price cutting would seem to indicate that the era of the high
quality lens is now ending.  Now, not many people will shell out

I am looking for a camera for use from a cruise ship's balcony to
catch whales, and to take photos as we come into and go out of ports
both for a cruise to Mexico's west coast and to Alaska. As well I want
to use the camera for other things, but a larger optical zoom factor

Back in the '80s I was a big Pentax user and loved their glass.  Now I find
myself a Pentax user once more, only with a K10D.  Love the camera, can't
stand the glass (plastic, whatever).  When it comes to distortion, my 16-45
is a coke bottle at the 16 end and don't get me ...

have been using SLRs for about 30 years, so I probably should know the
answer to my dumb question...
I have a Canon Digital Rebel XT and have a relatively cheap (approx $150)
Canon 75-300 f4-5.6 III zoom lens. I see others with the new white Canon

Canon charges 40% more for lenses with it.  It likely only adds a few
dollars to the production price of each lens.  40% profit is a huge
amount in that business so camera companies that have it in-camera
really are losing out, even if their customers benefit.  This is why
