    Best Camera Bag for DW?

    I agree with everyone here... this is a loaded question as the bag has a lot to do with preference and needs. I have a closet full of different bags I have tried and collected through the years from several makers. When I travel to WDW I tend to bring my older Canon 20D (with a battery...

    Adobe Photoshop and CS

    I had the free version of elements for a while and when CS3 came out Adobe offered to upgrade me for about $199...so I bought it and still need to figure out how to use it...LOL

    Lens advice needed

    The only word of caution about getting lenses to get you by is that once you have gotten by the need for these lenses you will have a closet full of good to really good lenses that you are not really going to use much. If I were to do it all over again, I would play around with the one (or...

    What is the Difference between Ultra and Extreme CF cards?

    Yes they are, but a faster card also provides faster buffering which may allow more fps in burst mode...to a certain degree. Key is that you are restricted to the speed of the camera while taking single shots.

    Want to buy a nice alternative to Digital SLR's

    I just bought the same for the same reason...plus with a tube adapter you can add filters and 2X or .75X converters to improve range...next purchase 2 water proof cases (his and hers)

    DLSR user considering a smaller PnS for carry around purposes...

    Good luck on this quest, it can be as difficult as the which DSLR do I buy. After 2 months of going through similar hoops and doing side by side comparisons, I just recently settled on the Canon G9 and bought a pair (his and hers). The LCD is incredible compared with my 20D...plus I can plop...

    Photo printer

    I bought this on the infomercial hype last Christmas (along with a fantastic price $99 for the 5300 with an extra set of ink and free shipping) to replace a very costly laser printer...which ironically was almost $99 for the cart. I have had no issues with print quality or speed. For the...

    7 Lessons I learned about photography yesterday.

    You forgot lesson number 8 that I learned last weekend shooting at one of the local aquariums. Take off the polarizer filter when using a flash indoors. I totally sympathize with the reading glasses part, I am really getting tired of not seeing what I am eating...LOL As far as camera...

    Help with lens purchase

    Another nice little Gary Fong invention is the Puffer. I picked one up to play around with and was very pleasantly surprised at its ability to take light up fish in aquariums at a local Aquarium (when shooting at a slight angle). The way it handled people was equally nice (might be a good...

    Need advice on an IS lens

    Yup! That is where most of my pics fall between. I tend to go wider at Epcot, long in Animal Kingdom, and inbetween at MGM and MK. Speed is as important as range at night. I have gone with 17-40mm f/4 L, 24-105mm f/4 L IS, 24-70mm f/2.8 L, 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS, 28-135mm IS, and a whole...

    Camera Bag

    I have the Lowepro slingshot 200 AW, and it gets cramped at times. Instead of getting the 100 I grab either the Nova2 or Nova3 AW, just as easy to handle. Tha Adorama sale price came up tonight via the email link, I decided to pick up the Gary Fong difuser for the pop up flash. I love the...

    Got some new Lenses!!

    Me too around 6 or 7 years ago. It was all for the sake of vanity as I refused to wear bi-focals and am now content with OTC reading glasses. ... and with all the money I have saved from not needing prescription glasses :cutie: , I have put the money to better use with Canon L glass...

    Stimulus

    not sure of my eligibility...but after the last OIL fill I had from my Oil Company up here in the northeast...it would go to heating the house :scared: 260+ gallons at $3.38 but they will knock off .05 per gallon if I pay in less than 10 days :laughing:
