    Switching to dSLR

    Get a camera with auto modes. I shoot manual mostly, but went shooting with a person that used auto mostly, and when auto wouldn't cut it, then went manual. I use a 20d, she uses a Rebel xt, both have awesome auto modes. The mode for moving objects blew me away. I've shot over 5000 frames on...

    Circular Polarizing Filters

    I have Nik Color efex for Photoshop. In there, you'll find a polarizer filter too. It brings out the details of the sky and brings out the blue. You can rotate it and adjust the strength as well. It kinda looks like it adjusts highlight details and adds some saturation. But it works in a...

    Traveling to Atlantic City and Philly area...

    To anyone that's been there... Any ideas on photo ops there? I'll be in that general area for a week, and want to get the best out of my time. Thanks :)

    Circular Polarizing Filters

    You need the slim filters for wide angles. I think a polarizer really brings out the true colors of the scene. I never shoot outside without one, unless it's dark out.

    Cheap SLR lenses compared to a ~$300 P&S

    Maybe I'm thinking ultra-wide. I have a 18mm lens and an EF-S 10mm-22mm lens and the difference is amazing.

    Cheap SLR lenses compared to a ~$300 P&S

    Everyone keeps saying a 17mm is a wide lens. Is that most people's opinion?

    Hello Canon 30D

    In this thread, Digicam vs DLSR, there is a quiz you take to see if you can tell the difference between the two. I'd like to see the same quiz, but have it "L" series lens vs non "L" series lens. And see if anyone can come out with a positive score. My guess would be no, for the most part...

    Hello Canon 30D

    nice choice. I have the 20d and really like the upgrades made to the shutter mechanism in the 30d. 100,000 shots sounds like a long love affair.

    Cheap SLR lenses compared to a ~$300 P&S

    I think the 18-55mm is a little soft. I one of those sharp freaks too. I actually posted a tread here last year talking about it's softness. I can't remember what came of it, but I find my other lenses don't give me the same issues.

    Cheap SLR lenses compared to a ~$300 P&S

    Well some p&s's go as big as a f/2.8, where as the 18-55 tops out at f/3.5. IF you're looking at a p&s for $200, you'd be looking at something with 5mp, and your 350XT is an 8mp. Then there's the start-up time for the p&s, and low light issues with focusing. I don't know, I think I'd get a...
