<p>I had both and I decided to check the autofocus speed on them. I noticed the older version actually has faster autofocus speed and somewhat quiter. One came with a D40 and the other I had bought on CL. I decided to sell the GII version. Thom Hogan in his web site says the version II has faster and more accurate focusing, but I doubt he has done any testing on them.<br>

I believe the version II is a cheaper production vs the previous version. Just to keep the prices of the D40 lower.</p>

If everything works out well and Roger Federer shows up I am going to go and take some pictures. I have had both

Nikon and Canon systems and I don't really have a preference. Please recommend a DSLR Camera and a lens or

two that can take good quality pix from courtside box at the stadium. Budget: $1600.

Thank you.

Thank you Matt, you couldn't explain it any better. I was able to stitch them together using Microsoft digital image suit, worked great! Thank you eveyone else for your usefull pointers.

Hi,

 

I am trying to attach two photos side by side. I am NOT trying to create a

panoramic picture, I just need to know how to attach or stitch ANY two or more

pictures together and what software ( hopefully free ) to use. I apperciate

any help.

Rob,

Did you send it to Canon Service Center? How much did they charge for replacing the shutter?

Thanks GEOFF, I think I got my answer :^)

Thank you all. But I still don't know if it is possible or not. Noone suggested details on how to do it, and some say it is not possible.

Thanks for the answer Puppy Face, but how then people make changes to their images(e.g. sharpen) and post them on the web and the sharpness is still there? By the way my images are all jpg. Thanks.

I make changes to an Image in Digital Photo Pro and save changes and exit. If

I go back to the image using DPP the changes are there, but if I use microsoft

photo viewer it is still the same untouched image. How do I make changes so

even if another software is used to view the image the changes are still there?

Thank you!

Thanks Hyun, How exactly do I do that? I used "save as" option and went to microsoft viewer and still the changes were not there. Thanks again.

I use canon digital pro software to retouch images. I change sharpness, tones

to where I like the image then save and exit. The location of the image, for

example, is C:/my pictures/IMG-2883.jpg. Now, when I go to my computer and

browse to C:/my pictures/IMG-2883 and use microsoft image viewer to view this

image it is the original untocued image. Is that how it's supposed to be? What

if I want the image in microsoft image viewer be the same as what I made it in

Canon software? Thanks

If you want sharp why don't use a tripod with your sigma?

Alistair, Thank you! That solved the problem. I set it on daylight.

 

DN, I dont think it is demo. The last batch of 10D serial number started by 17... it is not likely one of the last batch was put up for demo. As far as I know only canon can tell you how many shots on the camera. The last file numbering on the camera was 128.

I have got this new 10D ( it is new, old stock). In full auto pictures are

fine. In P mode all pictures come out strongly blue casted. I tried to change

the color temperature setting but no change. I tend to use the P mode since

it lets me use the center focusing sensor only. Any ideas? Thank you.

I have lost the battery door and have difficulty finding the part. Do you know

whether the 20D or rebel ot d30 or d60 doors would fit?

Thanks

MY N80 does not pop up the flash automatically in low light. It is

in P mode and no custom setting. Also the auto focus assist light

does not work. Is there a setting I can change to make these work?

Joe,

Go to www.bythom.com He talks about it there..

I pay $4.00 a month for 10Gig transfer and 450mb disk space. Good service. Has all of those tools you mentioned too. For a dollar more you can get 20 gig and 850 mb.

same question in one day, here I copied my answer...

Kerry, I have used both 10D and D100 which is very similar to D70. Let me tell you this: Both are nice cameras, you cannot go wrong with one of the two but, Nikon has a camera/software aproach with its DSLRS. If you want bright and nice pictures right out of the box go with 10D, if you choose Nikon be prepared to learn and use Nikon Capture software which is a great tool and a must IMHO. I suggest you buy a comactflash card and take it to the store. take pictures with both cameras and see for yourself which one is easier to use and handle. I like the bright and live pictures of 10D, my only complain with the camera is the lag before the camera is ready to shoot. I have lost several pictures because of this. D100 however is instant on but I have to set the internal custom curve or process them to get the looks I like.

I dont really know what your problem is. I have XP and my capture runs ok. Few suggestions:

Go to control panel/add remove programs ( you have to switch to classic view) and uninstal capture. I would uninstal any other Nikon software that are there, you can instal the later.

Go to Nikon website and download the trial version ( do not reinstal using your cd if you have one)

Try running the program in trial mode, see how it goes... let us know.

How would you back up 500 Gigs of Raws Jpgs and movies, cost

effective?

do a search before posting for immediate answers.

Bill, if the window does not pop up what you can do is go to "Start" and then click "My Computer" and there you will see "removable Hard disk" icon. Just click on it and open it up. That's what I do when I dont get the window. Open the files and then right click on the image you want and choose the program you want to open it with.

Here is my approach that I know you wont like. I wait for the new announcements to buy the previous versions. This way I save quite a bit and wont lose much when I resell. look at D60 prices after 10D came out. Even Nikon D100 is cheaper now that D70 is announce.

This approach works great with computers too, always stay one or two version of pentium behind, the difference in the price can be big.

I havnt used ALL features that D60 has to offer yet, it sounds to me more like a "Camera Envy" to jump on the new one as soon as it's out. Look at this same site to see what wonderful pictures people can take with those "older midels".
