    Changing lens with power on or off

    I have noticed something strange with my 350D... If I change lenses with the power on, sometimes the Exposure compensation (AEB) behaves strangely. Instead of centering at 0 it centers on 1 or 2. As a result my pictures come out overexposed. The only way to fix this is to reset all camera...

    Which Wide Lens to buy? Pls Advise

    I have personally used the canon 10-22 and can recommend it. Very nice colors and sharp. Check out Bob Atkins review at www.bobatkins.com. He strongly recommends this Super Wide and for good reasons :) AF performance will be definitely better with Canon lenses that Tamron or Sigma.

    Here is a full size crop You can see how the 100% crop of a section of the image looks very unsharp. I know it is not fair to compare between cameras , but the same images taken with my EOS 350D with the kit lens doesn't look so unsharp when zoomed to actual size. According to cameralab...

    Issues with the Fuji S9500

    Well : if the images appear soft and then look good in print something doesnot sound right logically. What you see should be close to what u get! I think I have to take the camera back to Fuji.... Dont have very high hopes on their customer service though :-) Let me try my luck to get the...
