Hi everyone, I am considering upgrading from my beloved A1 to D5D or D7D, so that I can make use of my Minolta AF mount lenses. Well, actually just feeling itchy... I prefer lighter camera for travel purpose. So, D5D is clearly a choice. But concerned with the AF speed/accuracy and the...

Echoing the early question, where do you guys get the 5D? Me thinking of getting one through the electronics chain store such as Harvey Norman or Best Denki. It is because the chain stores offer upgraded warranty. Please feel free comment...

RTS3 would have the brightest view finder, but also weigh the most. AX is not any lighter, either. ST is probably is of equal build quality, designed with RTS3's shutter mechanism, and lowest cost among the top Contax bodies. In any situation, it would not hurt to have a S2 as a backup...

Hi, As mentioned in the title, interested to know where you guys send your A1 digital files for printing with success. I hope to take the A1 raw file, and batch-sharpen them without touching the color balance, save them as tiff/jpeg and send straight for printing. Hope to hear from you...

Once I got some hama camera straps from jebsen & jebsen. You can give them a call...

Noticed that A2 employs different AD conversion from A1. Is this somethinig that gonna affect image quality greatly?

I am interested in this as well. AP told me no stock as of last week. Probably have to wait for a little bit longer...

I do the same for the Contax G2. Using the lower part of the case is a good protection against accidental scratches and light bumps. It also improve the gripping of the camera... Sadly the case never comes cheap, if can be found at all...

Definitely second that. Sometimes I feel that the manufacturers just try to confuse the average consumers like us... If budget is high on priority list, reading up definitely will help in making a well-informed decision. Regarding the flash photography, using the flash on the hot-shoe will...

Hi, You have good eyes for picture! BTW, the link to offstone is not working... Back to the questions, using traditional wisdon of film camera selection, you may want to consider the following. 1. Lens focal length range. Depending your shooting style, you may prefer more wide-angle...

There is quite a number of 700si with vertical grip on sale... This is an excellent camera to have, with plenty of feature to explore. You will able to find one cost less than your 500si if you bought new last time.

Mine is ok since day one... There is a good on-line olympus resource that has a lot of information. You can do a search on altavista or yahoo to find out more...

Hi, Interested to rent the Luminous Landscape's Video Journal DVD. If you have the set, and don't watch it every weekend, why not put up for rental... Personal message for further discussion is very much appreciated. thanks.

I am learning on flash photography as well. So, we can exchange notes... Basically for the camera to work with the flash, they need to talk. However, your S602 is not able to communicate information (besides "on") to the vivitar flash. Therefore, you will need to manually set the information...

Hi folks, From the reading of the internet review, I arrive at the observation that Minolta film scanner (says the Scan Elite II and new Dimage 5400) is actually doing software dust removal, and the Nikon film scanner (Coolscan series) is doing hardware dust removal. What I remember is...
