Dave, you could have had an A720is for less and had full manual control over all aspects of the image as well shutter and aperature priority semi-auto modes. Fool.
Pshaw. Now you're splitting hairs, dave. No lens in any $300 P&S camera is worth a damn. I don't care if you paste the name Ricoh, Zeiss, Olympus, Nikon or Canon on them. They're all crap.Ricoh has manual control and the lense is far superior to the crappy Canon
Speaking of lenses, Eracer, I just picked up a couple for the XTi. Tamron is running a $90 rebate on their 90mm f2.8 Macro 1:1 lens. Too good of a deal to pass up. I also upgraded from my old Canon 28-80 f3.5-5.6 to a Tamron 18-75 f2.8 with a much smaller rebate of $10 for my primary walk around lens.
I am looking forward to getting that Macro lens to see what kind of golf club shots I can get at next years show.
I shot some hockey at f5.6 LOL
Ummm I bumped ISO to 1600, and slowed down the SS to 100. Still looks like shit. I am going to be dropping some serious cash on some glass soon if I want to shoot hockey.
That 18-75 sounds nice. That's a 35-150 equivalent, right?Speaking of lenses, Eracer, I just picked up a couple for the XTi. Tamron is running a $90 rebate on their 90mm f2.8 Macro 1:1 lens.

And the macro sounds good too.
Right now I'm anxious to pull the trigger on the new Sigma 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM. I really want a fast prime lens, and this one is getting good press. It's $500, and that would suck up some lens cash for a while.
I had no idea they were that cheap. The extra f-stop of the f1.4 lens is attractive, but not $400 more attractive.Oops, what I ment to say was 28-75mm.......I wish they had a 18-75 f2.8.
Dude, save a boat load of cash and get the Canon EF 50 f1.8. $90
Yeah, no HSM/USM but a great lens for $90. I took a lot of shots at the show last year with that lens. Yup, its got a lot of plastic in it, but at $90 can buy 4 of them if you break'em and still come out ahead.

Thanks.
Maybe I'll just save my money and get the new Canon 50mm f1.0 lens. It's only $3,700Its kind of crazy really, one of the few that Canon makes that is a real value. You can get a Canon f1.4 50mm as well, but pay out the nose for it. I was initially concearned about it when I read it was mostly plastic, but I have had no issues with it and since I really do not use a 50mm all too often the price made it very attractive. I just wish they would offer a wider prime such as a 10mm, 12mm, or 14mm in the same construction/price range for the few times I could use a wider lens.
Well said. It is tough enough to even find a high quality lens for $300, let alone one with a camera attached to it.Pshaw. Now you're splitting hairs, dave.
