    D700 problem

    if the lcd is blank (as in white) when displaying the images shot outside, then most probably you've got the iso setting on a pretty high value that makes it impossible to capture the shot, meaning the shot is completely overexposed, and thus white.

    err99. your help is appreciated.

    sounds like a stuck apeture diaphram. needs repair/replacement. either CP or send it in to the tokina agents. NOT Canon. $80 is reasonable if it includes parts.

    can advise 70-200mm

    The "smoke" layer is probably hazing, caused by chemical fumes or VOCs (you may get it if stored with plastics in a warm environment). best to have it cleaned out, even if it's not affecting the images. EXIF data should be embedded in the original JPEGs. Clioboy asked so that we can tell what...

    40D. sighhh

    CSC will not accept the HK Warranty. There's no Intl Warranty for camera bodies. Slight delay most likely caused by worn shutter release (unless you've got the cam on timer). I've had it before. either there's a delay (not really 2 seconds) or you have to press down really hard. The...

    Canon price went up ~20% yesterday.. Scary

    Not quite true. The goods are probably on consignment, which means they dont pay for the stuff they are holding until it's sold. Once Canon Singapore sets the new pricing, the retailers have to follow, unless they back date the invoice.

    17-55 f2.8 IS Problem

    Try cleaning the lens and camera contacts. if the contacts are dirty, you might get an error message when you shoot, or aperture shows 00 when the camera thinks there's no lens attached.

    100-400l

    If shooting indoors with LITTLE or NO ambient light, using flash, the flash duration is more impt than the actual shutter speed. should be around 1/800 secs and you should have no problem freezing motion with that, unless your subject is moving very quickly. Otherwise, the 1/60 or 1/120 is a bit...

    canon selphy printer

    actually, the reason why there's always "leftover" paper is due to printing errors. whenever there's an error (paper jam etc), the printer winds the ribbon forward by 1 print. if you try printing with a new set of paper/cartridge and you dont encounter any errors, you should be able to use up...

    Is Sony HVR-A1P worth it?

    The A1P is a really small camera. just a little bigger than a consumer handycam. it's got 1/3 inch cmos sensors, like the bigger V1P, but it's low light capabilities is relatively poor. 7lux compared to 4lux. i guess if it's for personal use, it's quite ok. use it to shoot commercially and...

    even the grease in some SLRs will freeze up in low temps. just try to keep your EQ warm before use.

    Rechargeable Battery For Flash

    if it fires without blowing up, everything is A-OK. :D the only problem is that Ni-CD and Ni-MH can output a lot more current (hence faster charging times). some older (read: when policemen wore shorts) flashes may not be built to accept them.
