Good general purpose lens for Nikon D50 (?)
Well, I'm continuing to read and research as part of my decision to move up from a P&S digital to dSLR. I'm now looking at the Nikon D50. Would this lens: Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G ED IF AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens be a good "general purpose" lens for this camera? The goal is to have usable macro as well as port... 31 Aug 2005 19:52

canon 300D, same as DS6041 model?
I have a chance to get a Canon DSLR, model DS6041. Is this the same as the Canon 300D? If so, I've read that some "patches" are required to bring this particular camera up to snuff. ;) Any advice, in fact ALL advice, is much appreciated. I believe the 300D/DS6041 came out in Aug 2003. ... 27 Aug 2005 02:24

Question on good battery tester
I have a Samsung Digimax V3 - not bad for a P&S. My main problem is the extremely limited number of shots I get with my AA 2500 mAH rechargeables. I've tried alkalines, which don't do too well. Energizer Lithium did better, but I still get nowhere near the thousands of shots Pop Photo gets with the lithiums in its ... 24 Aug 2005 09:28

Olympus - What to do?
I purchased my Olympus C-50 Zoom camera less than 12 months ago. I recently decided to purchase a 1Gb XD Picture card. After going to the olympus site, I found that my camera isn't compatible with the 1Gb card, however I could send it in to Olympus for a *free firmware upgrade that would solve my problem. However, ... 8 Sep 2005 15:45

Digital SLR's - expensive hobby
I have never owned an SLR, always seemed to much of a camera for my skills (and too pricey). But I am wondering about the thoughts on digital technology from those who do have them. Someone could own a film SLR for 10, 20 years and just upgrade the lenses as and when necessary. They would be good workhorses ... 31 Aug 2005 15:53

xD Card Formatting Needed?
As mentioned in another post, I have a new Fuji E550 digital camera, and I noticed on the 256 card I bought for it, that the instructions say to format it to your particular camera. It happens to be a Fuji card as well, and I went ahead and used it anyway, without formatting, and it took pictures and downloaded the... 19 Aug 2005 14:42
