Exactly.

Stop using the "save for web" option because it strips the Exif info. Also, the software you got with the camera should allow you to edit RAW photos. Just use the "save as" when you...

Check out the Kata bags, they have a modular system setup. Meaning they have a backpack that can connect to both a waist pack and a torso pack. Or you can separate them and use them in a 2 way combo...

Good luck.

JC4, a workaround to that problem would be to set the * button to be used for AF(C.Fn-4,1). This was you can focus and meter independently, pressing the shutter halfway locks the AE. It's really...

All I can say is WOW!

Makes me want to go out and pick up a Marco lens.

I was at EMS the other day and found a pair of Dakine spring gloves that work great. I haven't been able to find them on their site but these ones look a bit thinner and they have grip on the...

Like these ones.

Or maybe something like these so it'll be a bit easier to work all the buttons.

Can't wait for the PMA, hopefully the new 1D Mk(whatever variant) will be announced and the used MkII and MkII N market will be flooded. Gotta love the gotta have the newest thingamabob types.:D

Clicky.

Even the ol' 1D.

Well having no experience shooting at an aquarium, I have seen the most common mistake of people not turning off their flash. Unless they were going for the big bright spot in the middle of the pic....

Congrats on the purchase!

Quick question though, if the size is a problem why not get a grip for the camera?

Now make with some more pics. LOL.

I also check HERE.

About seeing them for sale on eBay, chances are more likely that the seller is upgrading to one of the 2.8 versions wishing that was the initial purchase. Well at least that appears to be the main...

The crop size of the sensor is the relative field of view compared to a 35mm frame. The only way that I can think of to make it simpler is if you remember looking through a microscope in...

Here's a pretty in-depth one.

Another with user reviews.

And another.

One last review.

LOL, if you need more reading just google Pentax *ist DL reviews, it comes up with 127,000 results.

Well, to be completely honest the $50 didn't include shipping of $31(flat rate) and Mass taxes:mad: just the winning bid.

Still a good deal as far as I'm concerned, won it on the 9th, paid on the...
