A few recent discussions about remote shutter releases got me thinking.
There is the old-fashioned ball and mechanical cable release -> obsolete in
today's electronic world.
There are the infrared remotes which are inexpensive and work great when

If shooting just RAW is there any reason to have in camera sharpening
on? Seems sort of pointless to me.

I just tried to install photoshop CS3 full version
Everything went fine until I typed the license key in and got told I had
paid full price for an upgrade.
There is actually nothing to say that it was an upgrade on the box.

I have many problems with my EOS 30D and the 5D when using flash outdoor : I
always have blown out background as if the metering system tends to consider
only the darkest part of the scene.
Do you have the same issue, and can you give me some advice to get perfect

The UK magazine "Amateur Photographer" is well known for its detailed
and objective reviews of cameras and lenses.  
In the January 5 issue there is a review of the Olympus E-3.  The
overall rating given was 82%, which is one of the lowest ratings ever

I have my new Tamron 18-250 lens running great with my Sony Alpha
A-100 but I would like to buy a filter to protect the face of the
lens.  My question is what would be the best type of filter to get
that could enhance the picture quality while protecting my lens?

I had my mind set on the 40D mostly based on comparison pictures next to the

the  camera monitor, I have a black horizontal bar above and below the
picture. I would like the picture to occupy the entire ...

I'm a little confused by the stories and tests on the net: which lens is
better. the 18-70mm or the 18-135mm?
Some say one, some say the other.
I know the 18-70 has metal connection, but I don't care.

Just as there are people who see a bottle and say it is half full, others
see it as half empty.
In this NG it seems that there are people Pro Olympus cameras and others who
are anti Olympus, or any other brand of camera or subject for that matter.

I sold my D70...
I have lots of Nikon lenses so I will stay with Nikon, but which one...
Now the 300 costs twice the 80, but is it worth it?
Any reasons you have for picking one over the other would be appreciated!
