  1. <p>Hi all, i just bought a new rebel xsi and while i generally love the camera I am having an issue with the burst rate..its supposed to shoot 3.5 fps but the burst rate in the viewfinder only ever shows a max of 2! I have tried turning off highlight tone priority, long exposure noise reduction,etc but nothing seems to work..is this rate of 3.5 fps only achievable with the battery grip? pls help</p>
  2. <p>Hi all , I am seriously considering purchasing a 70-200 F/4 based on the over all great reviews it gets and its light weight. I would like to know however is if anyone has tried using it with the 1.4 teleconverter and if so, what were the results like? i do not like toting around the much heavier 70-200 F/2.8 or the 100-400mm f/5.6 as i much prefer lighter lenses and if i can get good results with a combination of this lens and th 1.4 teleconverter then thats the router i will take. Thanks in advance.</p>
  3. <p>Hi all ,i am looking for a fast zoom lens to shoot indoor sports, hockey primarily. I am on a tight budget so the canon 24-70mm lens is out of the question.that basically leaves the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 and sigma 24-70mm f/2.8.has anyone had any experience using either/both of these lenses and if so, how are they for indoor sports (autofocus , etc)?</p>
  4. <p>Hi all I just bought a mint condition F100 that came with an sb-23 flash. I am totally clueless how to use this combination properly and need some advice. If i want to use it indoors should i use flash compensation or not? should i use a 80A filter to color balance with tungsten lighting instead of using flash? appreciate your help!</p>
  5. <p>would like to pick uo a nikon 35mm film camera and the F100 is available obeebay etcx for very reasonable prices...how does it do tracking moving subjects as i would like to use it for shooting hockey from time to time along with using it as a landscape and portrait camera?</p>
  6. <p>I have an opportunity to pick up a eos 620 for next to nothing but before i do I want some opinions of others who have used it...specifically is the focus fast enough to track moving objects (Like airplanes, hockey) as that is what i will be using it for primarily...?</p>
  7. <p>Hi there i would like to get a fixed focal length lens for shooting indoor sports (primarli hockey) and the 180mm f/2.8 IF-D seems like a good one..but i want to get soemone 's opinion who has used it to shoot sports indoors first before sinking a bunch of money...primarily- how fast is the AF? will it track and lockon to get good sharp photos? </p>
  8. <p>hey kurt, speaking from personal experince after dropping my d50 in the ocean 2 years ago....I would forget about it and use it as a paperweight as mentioned...mine was basically DOA when i brought it into the local camera shop...the zoom action on the lens was so seized up it woiuldn't move...LOL lickily my travel insurance covered most of the cost of the camera...</p>
  9. <p>Hey all, i cannot get my nikon d50 to replicate anything that is a deep purple..my mom wanted some pics of her very purple flowers but everythinhg came out a deep blue..i tried my canon a540 and the same thing..I can only assume that the sensores have trouble with this particluar color....how do i fix this and is this somehting other people have experienced?</p>
  10. <p>Hi there i find that the grips on my 30D get quite slippery when shooting in damo or really humid weahter and are quite a bit harder in texture than my buddy's Nikon D300..DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY AFTER MARKET GRIPS, TAPE ETC THAT YOU CAN APPLY TO THE 30D TO GET A BETTER GRIP ?</p>
  11. <p>Hi all, I am completely frustrated by both of my cameras i own (Nikon D50 and canon A540) inability to replicate purple. every time I shoot somemthing purple it comes out blue....I have no patience to try to correct it in photoshop...is this an issue with all digital cameras? Will shooting film correct the situation? does anyone own a digital camera that replicated purple in-camera? help!</p>
  12. <p>I would like to purchase a 18-105 Vr lens but before spending the money will the camera sense the Vr function and not choose a high iso to compensate for camera shake? the D50 DOES NOT HAVE the feature of choosing the max iso like the d200, etc so i am concerned that iot will still pick a high iso like 1600 regardless of VR or not..?</p>
  13. <p>I was testing my new d50 yesterday (just shooting different coloured cars on the street) and everything was excellent until i photographed a purple car next to a blue one....the camera must have gotten confused cause the picture on the LCD showed both cars as blue !! ...has anyone else had an issue with this camera in terms of colour accuracy? could it have been a lighting situation ( I was photgraphing them on an overcast day near dusk....could this trick the camera's exposure ,meter?</p>
  14. <p>Hi all I am loooking for a good quality lens to take aeriel photos at airshows with. I want soenmthinbg that a) isn't too heavy to lug around b) doesn't make me stick out like a pro photographer (guess that discounts all those white L lenses:)..I was thinking of perhaps the canon 200mm f/2.8 prime with a 1.4 or 2x teleconvertre..has anyone had experionce with this type of setup? how do the teleconverters affect focusing speed, etc? what would be better...a zoom or prime ? </p>
