I have found another light that is much cheaper and can fit the needs.

http://www.botac.com/stnicomfl.html

They both belong into Tactical Light category, meaning primary white light is strong enough

to scare, even temporarely blind human and animal, giving you "tactical" advantage.

Importatn for us who shoot with Canons and Nicons rather then Smith and Wessons.

As everyone else, at least once in their time, i have this little problem: What flashlight to use when

photographing in the middle of the night. After some trials and errors, eliminating those flashlights that

would be more then my EF-L lenses, i have concluded that SureFire A2 Aviator is great little light for when

i need to see where am i going, and once i get there, to set my camera. Any other suggestions?

Since i9900 is great printer for colors, with (well, then) new red and green ink, i wonder does anyone have

any alternative in black ink that would be usefull for b/w printing

ok i have to ask why? would you ever want a film camera that can take 35mm and 120 roll

in the same body. i dont get the benefits.

20MPix hmmm, i love the idea, so my PowerBook will become obsolite, and DVD burner

will become a true toaster, now where do i get firewire 1600 ports?

i would say digital. If you go with film you will come to situation where you have all your

ditial images from main camera ready, but then you need to develop, scan, clean, etc from

your film just to complete the story. And small but important detail, size of digital is not

the same as size of print, so you might get some crop on the side. I wouldnt worry about

backup camera, i have DRebel, now if it fails, well, i will just put it back in case and go

have a coffee, no big deal.

True Nick, i am confused myself now. Seems like none of my images was so powerful to

make someone hate it so much, eventually giving it 1/1. Now everyone is going aroumd

ok, fine, sure, good one, when they rate. If i didnt make anyone think with my photo, i am

going to seed cucumbers for hobby from now on.

go to school meeting or local city/town meeting and request to add more lighting to the

stadium, for them half a million project, nothing serious. Then you can have fun with

sports action in the day. I dont see any other solution.

>>.know very little about digital photography

well if you want to start a small business taking pictures and selling them, you need to

concider two more purchases, Computer (Mac G5?), and Adobe CS. Have you included that

in the calculation?

just remember kids are speedy, so get fastest lens you can. Flash or studio lights arent

bad idea at all. Good luck.

ok you must be kidding me?

1. The Power Switch placement.

i turned my on 6 months ago and i dont even remember where the switch is. Who cares it

goes to sleep in 5 min anyway. But seems like button is even bigger then on my

PowerBook.

2. The extremely small buttons, it seems so confusing and it's not at all intutitive to me

(both the 20D and the 1 series design).

what do you mean by small? it is not emergency button on your car that needs to be big

and bright red with flashing ! as you drive.

3. Painting the flash shoe black. ( It just takes a few flash mountings to make the paint on

the shoe chip. Why not leave the shoe without the black paint as Nikon does. Doesn't it

seem more logical?

ok get silver DRebel, problem solved.

4. Nikon's excellent idea of providing a LCD protector. How much more cost can it incur?

Amazing idea, now can they also get creative with camera names? D1, 1D, wow that one

should get award.

5. Why make the lens hood so scratch prone? Even on L lenses. Why not design it better

with the same finish as the lens.

Ok how do you scratch the lens hood? outside is plastic, inside is that scratch prone stuff.

So unless you want to take a close up of less then 3 inches you have no problem.

6. The lens cap. Nikon, Tokina and I guess Tamrons' lens cap design is so much more

useful especially when taking and putting lens caps with the hood on.

Cannot answer this one, i loose my cap within week or so.

What amazes me with Nikon is red triangle at handle? wow, what a design, I will just throw

my apple away and look on ebay for laptop with red rubber, something.

oh never mind now i know what that red triangle reminds me.

It is almost unwriten role to remove ads, popups etc, from the site (even software, think

Eudora) once user sign up and pay. However this is not a case with Photo.net, and i trully

dont understand why. I have 12 inch powerbook, and if someone just kindly remove the

top google ads i will actually be able to see the image and enjoy it, instead of scroling up

and down trying to get mental image of two parts. If i understand correctly google pays

per clicks not per view, so i will even promise that i will not click them anyhow, so you will

not lose any money from me.

I have 20 some pictures on this site, and the only reason i paid is to support this great

site. now i am asking others, Will you like to see one of the paid benefits no somewhat

related google ads?

i cannot wait to save the earth, let me sit in my oversized SUV, burn 10 gallons of gas to

get to the location, then take few pictures with my earth friendly Canon 1.2 GPix camera,

without worring where to dispose batteries in this pristine nature, ok i am done, let me

now drive around let me see this 8 cilinder baby going off-road.

pointless. If someone have problem with disposing batteries for pro-SLR's i bet you if you

get all few thousand sold around the world, you can stuck them in one standard size

container. If you want to save the earth and my nerves, please do not put them in the

oversized blister pack that is 10 times bigger then the battery itself.

Looking for a Pelican case to protect, at least to attempt to, my camera and lenses, i found

out that there are so many models and dimmensions. Ok i know i want it orange, now i

need your help.

what size will you get, or you have, for my DRebel, 17-40L, 50 1.8, 75-300IS, and with

some space for charger, flash, another L soon etc?

Ok i found this Opteka high-definition (i dont know) zoom for EOS mount, 650mm, f/8,

wondering does anyone have any experience with it? there is also 500mm version in black

for around 100$

we, meaning Me, Myself and I dont have a problem with religious symbols. However, i have

noticed that people who post such, expect high ratings just on the basis of having

"untouchable" subject. Does every image of American flag has to get 7/7, and if it doesnt

are people who dare to give lower rating, anti-american. I dont think so. I personally dont

like picture. With or without cross i would not rate it higher. Now when you warn me about

it, i will not rate it at all.

As it was case with first DRebel, price will probably go up around x-mass time, since it

makes nice gift. Now what i am confused about is why 20D is not becoming cheaper.

Another related question. 5D is around 3300, while 1Dm2 N is 3800. I cannot belive that

there is so many people who belive that 1D is not worth that additional $500. Ok sure you

get couple Mpix less but you get build and features of 1D. i just dont get it.

My cameras usuallly depreciate faster then mentioned due to constant use and abuse, so i

really cannot answer original question. But they do more depreciate then lens would.

i have some 7/7 that need revision, so i guess they would be removed so will my ego and

its desire to post more. Seems funny, when you get high scores they get removed, low

ones, who cares. To avoid this in future, i say remove all the anonimous ratings.

Yaron,

> The 600/4 for candid portrait photography. If you're shy, the 1200/5.6.

12 lbs lens for candid portrait? how do you actually hide with that monster. I had troubles

with people and 17-40L with hood, not to mention 18 inch white monster.

for me, i dont do portrait as much as i would do people in their surrounding, so i will say

17-40L

Are you sure you are using digital rebel, not film one? sounds like the problem from the

"35mm age", have no clue, CF doesnt rewind fast?

just an idea here, from DRebel to PowerBook using USB then from PBook to iPod via

firewire. Hmmm have to try that one when i get borred.
