Good advice. This program appears better than Elements for the experienced user, at a low price; also the specs for computer power are lower, so my next upgrade may be to Affinity. Windows ...

Elements 2018 works in Windows 7 and may solve the problem.  The latest Elements will need Windows 10 if mem serves.

just checked the lens i bought... Tamron A03 AF 28-200mm f3.8 the dealer said the lens was older than my T3i and Canon wont program the new bodies for older third party lens, had to return the ...

thanks.  there was one used on ebay for 135, however the lens was f3.5. this ibis seems to be the way to go, if it is durable.  thanks for the wake up.

wow, an ebay adventure for sure.  glad the 40D still works, and what a great savings for the newer Canon D cameras.  i use a Canon T3i and a Canon XS and both are no troubles.  even the batteries ...

yep, those old dslr cameras make great 'beater' cameras for when you may not want to risk bringing the good stuff. plenty to be had on ebay or other used sites. the great thing is that they are ...

sounds good to me. fill me in on what cameras have IBIS.  does that give better results than the nikon/canon systems? do any affordable entry level cameras come with IBIS? thanks

i am trying to find the focal length of pictures taken on my Canon T3i to no avail.  using the info button and reviewing pictures, i get a lot of information, except focal length. the info will ...

bridge cameras do about everything i need.

i like canon's lower line, suits my purposes just fine.  full frame would be nice but i have no real need either.  in fact now i am looking at  bridge cameras for nature/birding purposes. today i ...

seems many like the STM version of this lens, very nice. have you tried the older 55-250, if so is there much difference with image quality?

great nature shots. do you ever feel you would need more telephoto reach than the sx70 gives when shooting? years ago b and h recommended the canon sx to me, i tend to agree.

thanks for the heads up.  think i will be more careful with my equipment, even my beater camera.  usually i keep my camera in a case with lens, but it may be best to keep it out of the trunk of a ...

with old used dslr cameras very cheap on ebay, then having 2 cameras seems to work for me. my old camera is a canon beater, easily replaced for about 50 bucks used. the good one is for the gentle days.

this is a timeless thread. when i started out in photography, the under 200 dollar camera was my interest.  the suggestions for a good bridge camera would do anyone well.  most don't need a dslr, i ...

what does f/22 do that the other stops don't?  normally i don't use f/22 so maybe missing something.

LOL.  yep really should.  i joined the forum when b and h told me about the canon sx50 for birding.  lately have been watching them on ebay. got my wife a nikon cool pix, she generally doesn't ...

thanks.  my pictures are for my family, even if printed they are only 4x6 for a scrapbook, no need for giant resolution.  i suspect 99% of people fit that category. even though i have 2 canon ...

that is how i started.  a store was dumping the demo canon's and he had a canon rebel xs and kit lens about half price.  he even threw in another kit lens free. tough little camera, been running ...
