    Difference between dry box and dry cabinet

    I don't think it is too expensive, one bottle cost around 4$ and it may last for 3-6 months approx depending upon the usage. Drybox is sealed and has a humidity indicator. If I don't open the box at all my indicator takes almost a month to rise from 40% to 55% relative humidity (approx figures)...

    Canon 10-22 / Sigma 12-24 / Tokina 12-24 or Canon 17-40?

    IMHO, the selection would solely depend upon your requirements & your priorities. As for the photo quality (i.e. contrast & sharpeness) I think Canon 17-14L would be the best, however you will have a considerable overlap in the range since you alreay own a 28-135. Also note that 17-40L is NOT...

Last time I went there, I remember I had difficult time finding the way back to the JB city center at night. Any particular bus services operating there ? Is it easy to find taxis...

    Anywhere to get 350D cheaper?

    I got a quote of 1490 - the complete kit from Naranjan - it is a small shop run by Indians near Farrer Park MRT on the Race Course Road I think. The guy there claimed that it comes with locall warranty and whatever Canon Singapore has to offer.

    350D lose out to the cheaper Nikon D50???

    First thing is that 350D does not cost 1700 in my knowledge. You can get it for as much as 1500 (in fact I got a quote of 1490 a few months back). So the price difference boils down to only 200 !! The obvious main difference between the two camera is the resolution itself. See the comparison on...

    CF Card - Accidental deletion & Image Recovery

    Actually I have a canon camera and when I plug it in to the computer, the canon camera window opens up. In the windows explorer I can see the camera, and when I explore, I find a bunch of empty folder with names starting from CanonXXX. However, when I run the PCInspector software, it doesn't...
