I am shopping around for a bridge camera (between compact and DSLR). I
use a film SLR (nikon f80) and want to upgrade to digital.
Any recommendations? Any good and/or bad experiences to share with
bridge-style cameas specific models, to get me started in my hunt?

I have 2 rolls of Velvia which I never used, but can I use this film with my
old Canon EOS 1000F 35mm SLR?
I've never used Velvia and have no idea how I came to have them in my
possession. ;-)

Anyone else find Sanjaya adorable?

I have a Canon EOS 30D, which seems to overexpose a lot, but only with
one lens.
With the standard Canon 18 - 55 lens it works fine, no problems at all,
but if I use my Sigma 28-300, it overexposes significantly. Now, the

I have the orignal Canon Digital Rebel with the 18-55 lens and a Sigma
75-300. I am considerind the Canon 100-400 IS with the L lens around

I have a camera case that is about two years old now.  It is one of the
inexpensive ($20) range, and is made of black sewn canvas.  It has gotten

Woolite?  Anyone ever try this?  I can get some dust out ...
