Last time I was reading reviews on the 512MB Compact flash cards  a year and
a half ago, I was read a lot of reviews about how quickly Lexar exchanged
their defective CF cards.  While this is great for their service. what about
the reliability of their cards? Have they improved ...

I have an Olympus OM4T and accessories that I'm looking into selling.
Is it best to sell it as a complete set or break things up? Is there a
place other than eBay to try and sell it?
Thanks for any tips,

I just got my new camera today and want to protect the view screen. Can I
use a screen protector from a PDA to protect the view screen on my canon D
rebel? It was quite an investment for me and I want to protect it.

Hello, all,
I haven't seen the answer to this in the posts, but I'm new here, so I
hope this question hasn't been rehashed to death in the group.
I'm a writer and amateur photographer, but don't have a digital camera

Hi people,
Just wondering what the recommended max aperture for a close up portrait is at
75mm?
I just bought a Tamron 28-75mm F2.8 lens (the legendary one that many people say

Just thought I would let you all know that I did purchase that DiMage
Scan Elite 5400 slide scanner.
I played with it one afternoon and was satisfied but do see a big need
to really read the manual which appears to me to be confusing and

Ok 480mm zoom and looks like crap from the low shutter speed I think.
Iso100 and when I got back someone said "did you use iso 400?"  Shutter
speed was 1/60-1/3 I think. I was all over the place but the slower the

I would never have really thought that I would actually get such a
response to my post. I have never really done this and I was quite

With the prices being so close (G6 $449, 8700 $498 online) I'm wondering
if I could get some advise for which camera would be recommended over
the other?
The reviews on the G6 seem to be very good all the way around,

I know the 20D is almost double the price of the Rebel, but at the same

The 5FPS over the 2.5 FPS is very apealing to me, since I take a lot of
action shorts.

With the upcoming eclipse, I'd like to take some decent photos of the moon
as it changes color, etc, but all past images of the moon have not turned
out so great. I'd like to get some shots of just the moon, of the moon and
surrounding sky (clouds, etc.) and perhaps of the moon ...

Thank you ever so much.

   I have a canon rebel and use the canon software to convert from raw to
tiff.  The default resolution seems to be 96dpi which I've been leaving it

to take them in to get printed?
