Canon Powershot G5

<Try a slower shutter speed like 1/30 which allow more ambient light but is also fast enough for handheld shots with the largest aperture. > If I were to put the speed to 1/30, would the flash still fire off at full capacity or it will measure accordingly. It's an engagement party that I...

Aperture Priority is something to consider. But why use f5.6 when f4.0 or f3.5 is suppose to give you a better picture. (bigger aperture that is) My flash is Sigma EF500 DG equvilant to Canon 550ex (almost.. :) ) The last advice about FP mode and rear sync looks quite difficult. But I...

Hi All, just wanted to clear my doubt on taking indoor photos at night using flash. My equipment : EOS300, 28-105 USM lens & Sigma EF500 DG. If I put my camera to P mode then the default setting will F4.0 and shutter speed=1/90s. Would this flash generate enough light to capture good...

Blurblock , How do you find your sigma 28-300 lens optical quality as compared to the 28-105 or etc ? My canon 75-300 mm lens is f4-5.6 III USM. Thinking of selling it off. Is the sigma lens soft at 300mm range ? Anyone cann provide with links for the reviews . I can't seem to find it...

Thanx for the reply. Will serious consider the tamron lens .

Hi, I have heard that the Tamron 28-300mm XR lens is pretty good and am tempted to give up either the 28-105mm or 75-300mm lens for the one above. Any comparsions on the Tamrons Vs Canon lens above. The 75-300 mm lens is a bit soft at longer ranges(or maybe it is only for my case)...

Just curious to know why so many people are getting this lens But why this lens. What purpose would it fulfill ? Just for portraits ?... Please enlighten. Thanx

Hi Sulhan, Would the recommended 3rd party flash be a good substitue for 420ex for canon? I have intentions of getting a flash for my EOS300 and have been delaying it due to cost. $300 for a flash and I would be using it quite rarely so still haven't got it. Is it worth it ? Cheers...

Hi All, I have the Canon EOS300, 28-105mm USM & 75-300mm USM lens. Quite satisfied with the 28-105 mm and the clarity. Don't use the 75-300mm that much. Feel that it becomes very soft at most ranges. What I am looking for ? Well I guess some lens that has sharp and crisp quality. Not too...

There is only one nice fella( old guy) at AP. But as a group they suck big time. I can stand at the counter for at least 10mins while the guys are doing something else. No service quality. Just because there is demand , they think thay can ignore buyers. Sucks Man !!

Thanx alot . Very much enlightened. Cheers Ericana

You guys are great ! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Thanx a million . :D

Thanx for all the advice. :) Which would better choice for the flash, the omni bounce or bounce card ?

Hi All, I have volunteered myself to be the photographer for my friend's ROM. I saw it as a chance to help my friend to cut costs and also gain experience. The ROM will held in a restaurant at Curry Moon(previously known as Admiralty Country Club where the golf driving range is) I...
