<p><strong>Nikon</strong> has announced the <a href="http://dslrspot.net/news/nikon/nikon-introdices-the-af-s-dx-nikkor-35mm-f18g-lens.html"><strong>AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G</strong> </a> lens, which is the first fixed focal length, fast-aperture DX-format lens that affords photographers superb image quality along with the creative possibilities and versatility of the classic 50mm focal length (FX-format equivalent of 52mm). When mounted on a DX-format camera body, it enables photographers to document their world with a lens that produces a picture angle similar to the field of vision as seen through the human eye.<br>

The AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G lens is scheduled to be available in March 2009 at an estimated price of <strong>$199.95</strong> .</p><div></div>

<p>Olympus has announced the SP-590UZ - a new Digital Camera with 26X optical zoom and 10 frames per second continious shooting ( <strong><a href="http://dslrspot.net/news/olympus/olympus-sp-590uz.html">full specs</a> </strong> ).<br>

Do you think we need the 26x optical zoom and 10fps? Isn't it time to stop the megapixel/zoom/fps race and pay more attention to image quality. It's good to see the technology evolving, but I'm already tired of all those pointless upgrades to compact cameras.</p>

350D has focusing problems with ultra fast lenses. I have the same problem with 50/1.4 ;) There is no way you can avoid this. It's a known problem, which has been resolved in 400D/30D/40D

I've had the same problem. Twice. The first time was in very bad weather - 8000feet, rainy, extremely humid. The second was on a sports event after 2000+ frames constant shooting. I don't think it's abnormal. Like Jim Strutz said: this is a computer with lens. If it crashes 2 times a week it's not OK, but 2 times a year is not something terribly bad ;)
