D - Thanks for the picture links :)

Rich - I'm not buying the 17-55 f/2.8 IS. The IS would be nice, but isn't really needed for the type of photography I'll be doing -- so why pay for it? And more...

Yes, I've read the lens review section. It really didn't help

I'm looking at pairing the lens with a 400D. Thought? Anyone have any samples, by any chance?

I'm looking to photograph static...

The camera needs to be in the Program (P) shooting mode for the 5th tab to appear!

thanks for the info!

battery is fresh from the charger.
there are only 4 "tabs" not 5..
The 4th "tab" (wrench, hammer, and the #2) has 3 options. The third is a sensor cleaning option. When you choose that option, it...

Hi there.

I have dust on my sensor. Dust delete isn't something I'm interested in and the self-cleaning vibration isn't taking care of the problem.

I've followed the instructions in my manual,...

Hi there,

I use the 70-300IS (which is the newer version of the lens you're asking about, I believe). For what you pay, you get a good lens. It's not the best, but for what you have to pay (around...

For almost a year, I've been using Energizer's 2200 mAh high energy 15min rechargable batteries. I've never had ANY problem whatsoever using these batteries. They usually last really long in my...

The manual setting, duh. I totally forgot about that. I was using the Custom setting.

f/8 was used on the pictures that were overly "bright" I wish there was something I could do to make it not so...

I'm pretty new to photography and I'm a bit confused about prop blur.

I'm lowering the shutter speed to below 100/sec and I'm still finding some frozen-ish props, but I'm starting to notice that...

If it's $80US, shipped.. there's probably more in the order than just an adapter. I bought an adapter and a wide angle lens and spent about $90, shipped..

A 52mm lensmate adapter for the S3IS is...

I dont PM people on here. Why would a waste my time PMing you of all people? People should know who's who, of course. And anyone paying attention knows that you flame/harass me and clutter up threads...

I can vouch for lensmate, I bought the 58mm adapter and it is internally threaded to recieve lenses/filters. You can buy filters that are threaded on both ends so you can have a filter AND a lens --...

What are you talking about? get a life and quit harassing me!
I simply made a suggestion about a possible sticky about certain lenses with certain cameras! Sorry you didnt like my suggestion. Quit...

So it is a matter of a fixed lense/options with the DSLR and getting more quality. The biggest reason for getting an S3IS, for me, was the 12x and the IS. I'd love to be able to afford a nice DSLR...

This isnt particularly helpful, but I'd love to see and S3IS thread where people can share pictures featuring various lenses, so that us without lenses can see some real results, without spending a...

I dont know if this will make sense/sound stupid, but...

The S3IS's zoom is at 12x and I believe 432mm or something like that. I've seen people with 400mm DSLR lenses that make pictures from the...

Can the admin do something about the flaming/harassment of newbies?

I know that I'm not as knowledgable as some. But if I knew all there is to know (as you pretend to), I wouldnt be an ass to newbies asking for ideas.

Everything I've ever read/heard about focusing...

These forums can be great. The problem that I'm seeing thought is that some members harass/flame/bother/instigate newbies. A lot of forums are like this one in regards to picking on new people. It's...

Focusing has EVERYTHING to do with contrast. I've yet to encounter anyone that ever said anything stating focus has nothing to do with contrast. Thanks for that lil tidbit of info though, I'll be...

No, not really. It could be as simple as not enough contrast between subject and background. The plane was grey -- as was the sky. So it's not surely mechanical. And as I've said many times, I'm not...

Actually, I believe I have answered it.

I'm not going to send the camera away to be fixed if there's nothing wrong with it. I'm not 100% sure that I had trouble because the camera was broke. But...

This is one of my fave pictures I've shot with the S3IS:

When people give me ideas that I've already tried, I've said so. Only one time have I said no, and that's to someone who told me to turn IS off. It would be stupid of me to do so for this type of...

I've done that, and the stationary stuff is fine. I would think the problem was more with ME if I constantly had these issues, but this was the first time I've had these issues. I've shot in the...
