  1. Sounds like your batteries are not getting charged. But it sounds like you have now had 2 different batteries and charger. How long do you charge your batteries. Could something be pushing a buttom/switch while the camera is in your bag causing a battery drain?
  2. Sonya, I ran into the same thing when I first tried manual mode.The problem as I believe Timothy pointed out, is you have it grossly under exposed. In manual you are responsible for shutter speed and aperture setting. So far for low light I put it in Aperture priority and adjust to the lowest setting on my lens F4.0 (70-200L F4.0) and I let the camera handle the shutter speed.
  3. Well I'm no expert on the XTi, just opened the box late last nite(my first taste of digital)! I did notice that changing the whitebalance to tungsten from auto made a dramatic difference in indoor shots. Still trying to figure out how to turn off the popup flash. May have to open the book tonite.
  4. I like the 180PE because it has closer minimum focus than the 150,3.3ft compared to 4.9. Also I prefer a little more reach or a little tighter view of the 180mm. The 150 is lighter 1.40lbs compared to 1.85lbs. hence the 150mm rides in my backpack, the 180 rides in the big bag.
  5. Edward, I went back and saw the nail heads you mentioned, but I think the angle of the shot with film has a lot to do with the lack of visibility of the nailheads. The digital has a more downward angle while the film shot is much nearer to being parallel to the tin causeing the nailheads to be much harder to see.
