IMO, 10D is not worth the extra $.
-
Thanks for the replies. My budget is limited. I think the OCSCII is what I want.

right click my computer, go to manage...
Click on device manager, then click on the + mark of universal serial bus controllers, you'll see a list of ports...
If you see the word "enhanced" then you have USB2.0.

I have a Dell Dimension 8200, purchased in 2002, same problem. After I bought the reader, I found out my computer does not support USB2.0. (It has 4 USB1.1 ports)
I bought a 2.0 high-speed PCI card($9.99), problem solved.

I'm trying to get into flash photography, what are some good
tools/accessories that you recommend? I've already got the stofen
omni bouncer.
I want to change the position of the flash from on camera to off
camera. To accomplish this, what do I need? A off camera flash cord?
Are there any other options? What's a "connecting cord"?
What's a good third party flash cord that will work on EOS?
Thanks.

Since I rarely do flash photography, I have a very limited
understanding of ETTL and how flash works in general.

Here's an interesting thread on dpreview regarding flash output and
ISO.
<p>
<a href="http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?
forum=1031&message=6662973">dpreview thread</a>
<p>
The reason I post it here is that I think this community has some
more knowledgeable folks regarding this issue.
<p>
*SHOULD* the change in ISO have an effect on flash output(the AMOUNT
of light the flash emits)? Does a relationship exist?
<p>
Could it be simply explained by the change in ISO varies the
sensitivity of the sensor so that the sensor could detect more light
at higher ISO, thus giving an overexposed image?
<p>
This was same theory transfered from film photography, right?
<p>
But why would the camera give an underexposed image at ISO 100?
<p>
Those of you that have other DSLR's, do you get the similar results?
<p>
Any thoughts much appreciated.

An outstanding lens at a fraction of the cost. Doesn't have the red ring though. ;-)
100/2.8 is probably my next lens...
-
And my 300D will arrive soon. If you can wait a little longer, I'll have some photos for you to evaluate...
Beware that 135mm on DR is a 216mm(crop)...
Well, I have those two lenses for different purposes... And really, they're designed for different purposes. They are both supurb, two of the finest in EOS. 135 is my sports/portrait whereas 70-200 is my travel/macro(with 500D and 1.4x) lens.
I've done a brief test a while ago on three different tele lenses I had. 135 vs 70-200 vs 200. (search the archive for that post) I was really surprised of the results. The 70-200 turned out sharper and had better contrast than the other two primes at f4. I still can't figure out why. Maybe I obtained an outstanding copy of 70-200(from ebay ;-)).
which lens do you prefer ? which one would you sell first?
Tough question. I prefer both and probably wont sell both. Does that answer your question?
I think what you shoot the most is how to determine which to get. What do you shoot?
I'll do some tests when I get the rebel...

People blame the tools, ya know, not just photographers...

Here'w what I think, dont upgrade, SAVE THE MONEY FOR THE LENSES.
I just dont think this is a good time to upgrade to a higher end film body...

Hi Chris, I guess I'm qualified to answer this question since I have purchased a used 70-200/4l not long ago and I also own a rebel2000.
Yes, you are right the used prices for this lens is pretty high. I got mine for $500 (6 months old and still with 6 months warranty) from ebay almost a year ago. I've been searching all over for a deal and ended up with this one. It turned out this lens is sharper than other L lenses I have, even wide open at f4. I've been very happy about the purchase.
Why the used prices so high? This lens offeres excellent optical quality and build quality and a great range for versatility. It is also the cheapest L lens currently offered by Canon. The demand for this lens is very high. All these drive the prices upward. Like I always say to 70-200/4L buyers, you'd be lucky if you find one below $450. I think $500 is a good deal if it's in like new condition and comes with warranty.
As far as balance goes, I don't see a problem, though I rarely use mine on Rebel 2000. It's going to be front heavy. That's for sure. So if you use it on a tripod, you'll probably want to get the tripod ring($70).
Good luck.

"Maybe if I shot 50,000 photos a year I would see savings, but I exist in the world of the amature photographer and one where spending $10 on processing and printing (doubles) per roll at a blistering rate of 2 or 3 rolls a month is no where close to the cost of owning a DSLR. "
This is so not true.
The cost of owning a digital SLR is $900.
The cost of shooting film for 2 years at that rate is $1000. (and not everyone pay $10 for processing and printing)
And with digital, you'll shoot A LOT MORE than you would with film, knowing there's no addtional cost. Also, you have the total control over your images, not the lab guy... How many times you wished they could do better?
-
Yep. I've made my decision. I know its limitations. I'm just so sick of the processing costs. With digital, I have the total control over my images and I can take far more photos and not worry about cost.
Maybe I'll buy a 3D when it's available... hehehe
-
Do you think other places like B&H or Adorama will sell it below 899? How about Gateway or Dell? They had some great deals on 1D.
-
Do I need to call to be on the list?

18-55 EF-S == 28-88mm in terms of 35mm.
-
Wow, this is the killer.

Canon also released the Rebel K2. NOT 2K(2000)!!! Isn't that nice?
People already got confused with 10D and D10, 1D and D1...
See it yourself...

Canon needs to release a lens like this because digital rebel users
are seeking wide angle solutions. If there's no EF-S lens, what are
they going to buy? $700 17-40L? I don't think so. Tamron 19-35? And
you think Canon will give up in this segment? I don't think so. This
18-55 EF-S is perfect for digital rebel users seeking wide angle
solutions. Sure it's not a high quality lens like 17-40L, but not
everyone has that budget or needs an L lens.
This is only a temporary solution to wide angle(for entry level
users, the advance amatuers will buy the primes or the 17-40L).
Unike Nikon, which is heavily producing and promoting DX lenses.
Canon is not committed to EF-S lenses(as far as I can see) - this is only a cheap alternative to wide angle for beginners.
Consumers probably wouldn't even consider 300D if there's no cheap wide angle solutions. 300D needs to be competitive with sony 828 and Minolta a1, which have a 28mm lens.

"Asthetics 3 Originality 3"
lol.

here's a video of digital rebel presentation by Canon CEO.

The MSRP should be around $1000. THis is the nikon 5700, sony 828, fuji s7000 and minolta a1 killer.
