I have been using a Nikon 801s for many years and am used to having the focus on the centre of the frame, by default. It took me a while to realise that with...

I was shooting some pics today and during a pause the camera hung up on me. Wouldn't do anything, including turn off. So, I popped the battery out and back in...

How stable are Nikon firmware updates? I ask because this is the first update I've ever wanted to make on anything other than a desktop computer. Should I...

I recently bought a Minolta 35-70mm f/3.5-4.5 lens. Alongwith the lens, I got a Minolta UV filter. Now, I mostly keep a UV filter on all my lenses but a good...

A single lens reflex used to be considered a camera with a viewfinder that imaged through the lens. But nearly all digital cameras do this, albeit using an...

This was posted on another group, but it's the first time I've read some of the comments. The Olympus cameras use a small 4/3 sensor that has noise...

Hi- Does anyone have any experience with the Sigma 18-50 mm f/3.5-5.6 DC? I'll be using it with Canon 10D. I'm more interested in bang for the buck, than...

Hi there. I have a nikon d70. At max jpeg mode on the d70 you can take a burst of 3ps over 3 seconds before the buffer is saturated. What I am wondering is,...

Has anybody done a comparison and if so what's your assessment? Pop Photo's chart (Feb05) gives the Sigma high marks for sharpness. I don't know if PP tested...
