I agree with a couple of the previous comments... it sounds like this is going to be your first DSLR, so you really shouldn't be trying to figure out NOW what you are going to need when you "go...

The Sigma 30mm "EX" (which theoretically should be their more expensive version, if I understand Sigma's "EX" designation) is currently $349 at Amazon.Maybe this one will be cheaper... although it...

Apple's solution:  Go get yourself an iPad!That's always their solution - buy something more from us... something that costs a bit more than it probably should, but has a very good user interface...

Exactly... and with the little 6 shot buffer when shooting raw it doesn't even do that very well (although it beats a Rebel!).Funny how the OP mentioned things like the number of AF points and the...

But the S110 has wifi and a touch screen, which some people find useful.  The best part about the S110, IMO, is that it made the price of the S100 go down below $250 (even below $230 at one...

Thanks everyone for the information and especially Peter Kwok for the great general HK tips.  I've been there a few times before, but it was a while back, so the tips are very helpful.With respect...

Actually the post didn't cause the person dumb, it called the reason for returning the camera dumb.The reason that the OP has gotten some pretty snappy/negative feedback is not because they didn't...

I think you summed it up right there... all the reviews say that battery life isn't a strong point of the camera, and also it's pretty much common knowledge (for anyone who's read anything about...

I'm planning to go to HK sevens for the first time this coming March and have been deciding what to bring to get some shots of the games and of the crowds.  I haven't been able to find an official...

I like the Scott Kelby "Digital Photography" books (I think there's 4 of them now... I have the first 3 and was really happy with the first and less happy but still ok with the second and third).

If if's and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a merry christmas.And if my S100 were much larger so they could fit an OVF or hotshoe or movable screen, I would have bought a different camera......

You should be more specific about what's going on, or maybe post an image with full exif data. Taking you literally, "come out black all the time" means you have a shutter or sensor (or lenscap)...

I'm in these and other forums pretty regularly and I investigated the BR strap a lot before I bought one and I have NEVER seen a report of damage to the tripod mount on the camera from use of the...

I recommend you have a look at the s100. It's slightly over what you want to spend, but has been as low as $229 on amazon since its successor was released.

You can put a split image focusing screen into a 60D (and I think a 50D... I never researched that), but I don't think you can in a 7D because the camera needs a special screen onto which it...

One thing that might get worse with age is the number of dust spots on the sensor... if you don't clean it or have it cleaned. Some people would call a sensor cleaning "periodic maintenance", but I...

Where you say "I also switched it from single to continuous exposure and back." makes me think the problem is with you rather than the camera.  You should have gone through several drive modes,...

Like others have said, it's one way to use the camera. I like it sometimes because I can select the normal exposure parameters (shutter speed and aperture), and the camera adjusts to get the...

Just checking... are you aware that there are 2 burst speeds for the camera?  3 fps and 5 fps.  You have selected "Hi" speed burst mode, right?If yes, the other issue that might be slowing you down...

I'm calling BS.If you're willing to pay what a 24 mm f/1.0 lens will cost to get one stop of low light performance more than a 24 f/1.4, then why not spend some of that price difference buying a...
