I own a Canon EOS 10D and love it to bits, but I have the urge to try a
Nikon DSLR for a change. Would going from the EOS 10D to the Nikon D70 be
regarded as un upgrade of any kind? Considering that the 10D is older than
the D70, that is. I feel I've gotten into a 'rut' lately ...

I live in the UK, and am currently using Ilford HP5 black & white film
on my SLR.  It's lovely film and takes great pictures, but the
development costs are crazy - £10 a film in Boots!  And it takes 12
days to process!

I guess shooting 35mm got me spoiled, because I had a nice bounce flash. My
Fuji S5100 has a pop-up flash with no shoe for another. The flash shots I'm
getting are washed out. What I need is a good flash diffuser that will mute
that effect from a small light source. Long term, I ...

What about this aircraft picture during nighttime? Comments are welcome.

Does anyone know of any stock photo companies that will buy pictures
from you, but aren't out to rip you off?

[Warning that this is a cross-post - BTW: I heard it's marginally ok to
cross-post if you mention it??? And I want local & international

Does anyone know how to confirm a serial number of a lens? I'm being

Hello --
I am new to this group and I've read through the postings to ensure that I
am not replicating another question... if I am, my apologies to one and all

I planned to buy a new lens for my new Canon Rebel XT (I had a Canon AE1
with a Vivitar 70-210 mm macro which is not a real macro).
I considered two options : A macro lens and a telezoom.
I would like to photography medium sized to small butterflies at a working

I recently took some photographs of my son and his football team whilst they
were competing in a soccer tournament, with permission from the Manager and
players involved. Wherupon I was promptly warned that if I took any more
Photo's then I would be ejected from the grounds as I ...

I need some stats on a couple of Epson printers namely the R320 and the
R2400. In particular I need to know what it will cost per print to print
from each of those and I need it rather urgently, any body know where I can
get those stats or is there anybody out there using those and ...

I of course have the 18-55mm lends that came with the kit, and have also
picked up a 50mm f1.8/II lens that I'm quite happy with.
Is there a zoom lens under $500 that gives better results than the
default lens? Should I give up home for a lens under the above price

Frame painting - I have tried to find a more appropriate newsgroup but
without success.  Although I can make my own wooden frames for speed  and
cost I have been guilty of buying dark brown "wood finished and gilt"
plastic  frames in most sizes up to 16 x12.   Now I can't stand ...

Hello, I just joined the group. I live in southern Chile and I'd like
to travel and visit new places. As this is not practical ( mainly
expenses), I thought to start a photographic essay from as many places
possibles around the world.

I want to tell you about a serious flaw in the
Canon Powershot A620, which required that I return
my A620. I assumed it was just a defect in my camera alone,
but in searching Usenet I have discovered that others
