You may be able to find a used one for that much, but the picken is pretty slim atm. Start shopping September 20th when Canon releases their two new pro and semi-pro DSLRs and you'll probably find a...

What are you planning to take pictures of? P&S cameras are OK for some things and very hard (or impossible) for others. Personally, I would go for something in the G series, but thats just me. The...

Just looked at that thread by Jugglers – the only thing he has on you is light – he has more. Light = Clarity. 500W of high K light isn't a lot in photography.

When you adjust your ISO up it is basically going to double your camera's sensitivity to light for every step - thus moving you up 1-Stop faster shutter speed. This is an over simplification and...

The general rule of thumb is to shot with a tripod when your shutter speed is lower than your the focal length of your zoom. The S3 I believe has a zoom of 36-432mm which means when zoomed all the...

14000K is really high up there – most cameras and software do not go that high up in K (think my Nikon and Canon's can only go up to 10000K compensation). Therefore, you'll always have a bluish cast...

I got mine from my father-in-law :) but he got it for around $700 through a private Nikon buyers club.

Did a quick search and found these:

I'm using the 18-200 VR and can honestly say it is far superior to either the kit or 55-200mm f4-5.6 AF-S DX. Where you just looking locally? I found it on line really quick and probably for less...

I believe you would love the 30D – however, don't discount the Xti. The 30D has a better build and comes with a few more features, but the Xti will fit better in a smaller hand, costs less (money...
