Hi Harman,
Thanks for the very comprehensive explanation. Yes, now the 16 bit vs the
32 bit
is clear to me. And it's explained a number of PC related questions that I
had in my
head but never got clarification.
I have been reliabily told that the EOS 10D supports FAT32, so I'm keen to
format
ormat my 1GB compact flash card to FAT32?
Thanks in advance,
Lawrance Lee

Guys and gals,
Does anyone know if the lens mechanism on the new 24-70mm f/2.8L uses
internal zooming, or does the barrel actually extend outwards when you zoom
to 24mm? The 70-200mm f/2.8L lens has all internal zooming mechanisms so
the physical dimensions of the lens doesn't change when you

concur with a lot of feedback that I read on the www.photographyreview.com

Hi Guys and gals,
I am wondering what the negatives of an EOS D30 are - I hear that the AF
isn't as good as on the EOS30 (aka Elan7e). Is that true? What other
shortcomings are there with this camera body?
I was wondering whether I should have a digital camera as a second body and
with the
switch to "1.5m-infinity", or
manual turn the focussing ring to at least 3 metres on the little window.
Hope this helps.

Hi all
Has somebody observed
-300 allows you to use four AA batteries or two CR123A batteries. If
you are using the CR123A batteries, they can be lithium, but not the AA
batteries.
I've only used Alkaline AA batteries on my BP-300, so I can't comment on

Hello Evrim,
I bought the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L on the same week that I knew the IS version
was coming out. I figure that the "old" lens got so much praise, the new

there to reduce lens shake that cause blurred pictures,
rive is
much noisier than the USM on the Canon. So that got the voting dollars of
this punter. :)
