Sometimes, when I use my Canon Digital Rebel XTi with a 28-135 USM IS lens, the

shutter release button freezes up, and I have to turn power off/on to

temporarily fix the problem. Has anyone had this problem, or am I doing

something wrong?

 

thanks

I heard that Canon's Image Stabilization feature doesn't work that well at

short distances, but works best at long distances. In fact, they said that

this is the case for all similar technologies (e.g. Nikon's VR) Is this true?

 

thanks

I have the following two lens options to buy with my Sony Alpha 100:

 

- Sony 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens &

- Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Compact Super Telephoto Zoom

OR

- Sony DT 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Aspherical ED High Magnification Zoom Lens

 

I understand that the 18-200 is more convenient in that you don't have to carry

and change lenses, but is there a benefit in having the other two lenses? Less

distortion perhaps? The price is about the same.

 

thanks

I am about to go for my first dSLR. After much research, I am leaning towards

the Sony Alpha 100 kit which includes the 18-200mm f3.5-6.3 lens:

I don't plan to buy any more lenses in the near future. I just want an all-

purpose lens that will be able to take decent indoor photos without a flash

and decent outdoor sports photos.

 

Your feedback will be greatly appreciated, especially if you have the above

configuration.

 

thanks

Being able to see a list of the latest critiques/comments I received is very

convenient. Is there something similar for the ratings I receive?

 

thanks

I know a photo can be deleted by its owner, but what happens to the

ratings, critiques and comments that other users have submitted? It

seems that they remain as broken links in the workspaces of the users

who submitted them. Thanks for the feedback.

I just got my Nikon Coolpix 5700. I had a problem with the response

of the shutter release button, which seems to be solved by

disabling "continuous focus". Now the problem I have is that I

cannot get sharp macros. The subject appears to be perfectly focused

in the viewfinder before shutter release, but not so perfect after

shutter release. Perhaps this is not a fault of the camera, but

something that can be fixed with a tripod because of the nature of

macro photography? Thanks.

Ok, I think I solved the problem by disabling "continuous focus". Now the camera's response is acceptable, but I have another problem: I cannot get sharp macros. The subject appears to be perfectly focused in the viewfinder before shutter release, but not so perfect after shutter release. Perhaps this is not a fault of the camera, but something that can be fixed with a tripod because of the nature of macro photography? Thanks.

I just got a new Nikon Coolpix 5700. Like all digital cameras, you

first press the capture button halfway to compose the picture and then

all the way to capture. The problem is that there is a delay from the

moment I fully press the button to the moment the camera responds to

start capturing the image (I am not talking about the time during

which the aperture remains open) I noticed that this delay is really

noticable in darker areas or when the battery is nearly empty. Could

someone please explain why this happens and how I can minimize the

delay?

 

thanks

Adrian, thanks for your reply.

What does the "Views" counter below each photo really represent? I

have visited several photos with 0 Views but the counter has remained

0. Thanks.
