    Tokina 11-16mm F/2.8

    Any thoughts about this lens vs the canon 10-22mm? The canon has a wider range, but it's f/3.5-4.5, and around $150 more expensive. I don't have any lens wider than 28mm so the wider range of the canon is tempting but so is the f2.8 of the tokina!

    F30 wow!

    Looking at the F30 review, it looks like a perfect companion for my casio Z750, which takes really gorgeous pictures outdoors but lousy indoor/dimlight shots! With these 2 cameras, I'll be able to cover almost all situations :P

    How do you focus with your Canon camera?

    I've been using the half-press method, and just yesterday the camera refused to fire even though I thought that focus was already achieved. Will try out the other method!

    Heya, a friend of mine has tried using the 1GB SanDisk Memory Stick Pro Duo Magicgate (with adaptor of course) with her P9, but only gets a message like "Memory stick error". Is this MS stick compatible with the P9? This page here ->...

    Need help regarding some compact digi cameras.

    I have the Casio Exilim Z750 too, and the aperture priority manual setting is limited as there are only 2 choices. For night shots, if you're thinking of using the flash, the shot yurns out overexposed for the objects nearer the lens. But if you're taking buildings, scenery at night, then I...

    Best Offer for FX9

    I don't think so, as I played with the FZ5 in the shop back in June. Think it's Sony that they don't carry. You can call them up for phone quotations!

    Need advise on ultracompact digital camera

    I'm using the Casio Exilim Z750 and has the small form + limited manual control - limited coz Aperture priority only has 2 choices of F-stops, but it has manual for both A & S. I like it a lot, but its flash is pretty weak & I can't take night & dim indoor shots well. Try it in the store first...

    Casio Exilim EX-Z750

    I bought the cam from John 3:16 in June for $750, it came with the usual free 256MB SD card. Love the camera, love the manual controls (though AP is limited), love the movie mode as well. No regrets!

    10D, 20D or 350D?

    I think I'm one of the few females who prefer the 20D to the 350D. I would happily choose the 350D for its smaller size & lighter weight if I had not held it in my hand. The 350D felt awkward and not very comfortable, whereas the grip of the 20D felt really good and stable. I think it's the way...

    Casio Exilim EX-Z750

    I just got the Z750 2 weeks ago, it's my first digital camera. I love the screen & the display modes with the histogram, & that it captures aperture & shutter info in the pics as well. It's quite fast & with decent images even at ISO400. I'm not sure if the speed of writing is considered fast...

    EOS 5 or EOS 30?

    I've owned an EOS30 for 4 years... it's my first & only SLR, so I cannot comment on any other SLR. I really love my EOS30 & have no regrets, even if it's not a pro camera. I've travelled with it to various countries & it hasn't let me down!

    Recommend digital camera and shop

    To offer you suggestions, we need to know a lot more than the budget. Which is factors are important ~ e.g. small form factor, size of LCD screen, extent zoom, manual controls, quality of lens, colour reproduction, fast autofocus, user-friendly interface, megapizel count etc? I'm not a CS...

    Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens

    I got the F1.4 about 4 yrs ago & I have no regrets, the F1.4 comes in handy for me as I shoot indoor quite often ~ even if it's not the sharpest at this aperture, it still beats camera shake! Love the solid build. The price difference did haunt me before I bought the lens, but my rationale was...

    What's the best brand of CPL filter?

    I bought the Nikon one (77mm) last Nov for $185 from John 3:16 coz I couldn't find the B+W one. It fits nicely with my Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 (Canon mount) lens. Being a total newbie at filters, & since so far I've only taken pics under very overcast conditions, I can't quite comment on what the...

    50/1.4 more useful than 24-70/2.8L?

    I don't have the 24-70 canon zoom, only the much cheaper Sigma one, with the EOS30. But yes when I got my 50mm F1.4, I used that lens so much more because of its weight and brightness. Still don't think I'll give up the zoom though, coz I still find that the wide & telephoto ends of the zoom...

    Where to have best Sandwich in Singapore ?

    Guthrie House is near the junction of Dunearn Road and Sixth Avenue... you can search for it on www.streetdirectory.com using its postal code: 268802. I liked the ham & cheese melt from Simply Bread, but not the salami melt or roast beef sandwiches (though a number of my friends love the...

    quote on 20D, anyone?

    As in, they don't charge GST, so you don't have to think about if the price they quote is with or without GST... yes it's not different from CP, AP & MS Colour then. Nevermind about going off topic on whether John 3:16 have already included the GST into their price... Even if Edison is...
