8/31    Does it make sense to buy a nice 70-200mm f/4L lens and mount it on a
        cheap Canon Rebel XSi with 12MP? I'd hate to upgrade the body
        because bodies get outdated quickly, and I don't care about how fast
        auto-focus is. I just care about image quality for non-sports pics. I'd
        love to have a sharper lens than my cheapo 55-250mm and don't care
        about the body, but I'm wondering if there are severe disadvantages

5/4     Which Canon dSLR should I buy?
        \_ The cheapest one you can get away with, and the most expensive
           glass you can afford. Camera body depreciates 1/2 every 18-24
           months. Plastic kit lenses depreciate at about 15-20% each
           year till they're worthless in about 3-5 years. Good glass
           (constant f/2.8 and below) hardly ever depreciate, and some

1/14    The official presidential portrait of Obama was shot on an
        exclusive all digital camera for the first time in American
        history on a Canon 5D Mark II. Go Canon!

        \_ 5D2 >> D700. Sorry Nikon, you've been losing every spec
           war since 2002, and STILL losing in 2009. Canon >> Nikon.

1/7     Anyone have a rangefinder camera? Like it?
        \_ LESS CAMERA BULLSHIT, MORE BOOBIES.  OK TNX BYE
           \_ here you go: http://www.anonib.com/_teensnorules/index.php?t=2673
           \_ What is the deal with geeks and cameras, anyway?
        \_ There was a time when people were interested in rangefinder
           camera because without the pentaprism, it's lighter than SLR....

12/29   Hello, I am a film/digital SLR shooter [i.e. I care about DoF control]
        but I am considering buying a Canon G10 to have something small I can
        carry around all the time and take into "hazardous conditions" where
        I would not bring my SLRs [water, climbing, other hands free/bag free
        situations]. Any thoughts on the Canon G10 ... limitations an SLR
        person would care about? Alternative/comparable models to consider?

12/6    I'm looking for a really fast 35mm film scanner. I have a bunch of
        35mm film that I'd like to digitize then toss away. What's a good
        35mm film scanner these days?
        \_ you probably want to stick with Nikon.  what you are looking for is
           not actual speed of scanning, but rather, those "automatic dust
           removal" that actually works.  Removing dust via photoshop is going

        remote commander modules that beat the CLS system.

10/19   Sorry Nikon users, Canon is still more popular. More lenses, more
        bang for bucks, there is no reason to switch to Nikon:
        http://news.cnet.com/8301-13580_3-9882670-39.html
        \_ Actually Nikon has most of the market share in Japan. Canon
           is very popular elsewhere. It's a neck to neck race reall, but
           Nikon seems to be doing quite well in the ultra-low-end DSLR:
