Sticky FAQ?

[sgpix]

Before we even get going here, I'm not knocking the SUBJECT of these questions

(I've asked most of them myself), merely the FREQUENCY of them...

 

Surely we can post some "sticky" responses - or links to previous responses -

down the right hand side of this (and other?) forums for commonly-asked

questions?

 

I think most that would fit this category are obvious, but people may wish to

add more below? (And if this topic itself is second-hand, my apologies - but

I've not seen it before!):

 

a) 28-70 2.8L vs. the 24-105 4L IS

b) do I need to/should I/how do I clean my sensor?

c) should I buy now or will there be a 5D MkII/6D/4D/401D/410D/1DMkIV/50D/0D/-

3D Etc. available tomorrow?d) will the xxx/yyy CF card work with my aaa/bbb

camera?/should I bother with the latest 1'100'000x card for my 400D?

 

To be fair, some are not ubiquitous in themselves, but could do with some

clarity before the average posting:

 

1) "what lens should I buy?"

2) "what's the meaning of life?"

 

OK - one of those was a joke... :) But there are such good articles on most of

the repeat topics available on this (and other) websites, I wonder if we could

point people better (and more forcefully) at them rather watching them come up

again and again?

I'll add three more - "Can I use my old Canon FD lenses on my new digital EOS?", "100-400 L IS vs 70-200/2.8 L IS & 2X Converter", "50/1.8 vs. 50/1.4"

Which one? ;p

Giampi - the lens one, of course! (everyone knows the meaning of life is 42)

Nope... it is 65...just kidding...But I think there is already a FAQ for Canon on the web somewhere. All we need to do is not respond to these and point the OP in the direction of the FAQ.

I have discovered the meaning of life - it is money :)
