Sigma 55-200 or 70-300?—by pinback13

Both of these lenses are on sale for the same price at my local camera shop. These are not the APO lenses but the lower quality ones. Has any body owned these lenses or knows for which one i’ll get the most bang for my buck in image quality. Don’t really know if I need up to 300mm but it would be nice if I didn’t have to use a tripod except for in lower night. Let me know any of your opinions. I’m using it for my d80. Continue reading »

So… that drops the Panasonic HDC-SD1 off the list. Continue reading »

—Samantha

I have been wondering the same thing. I wanted a small camera I could carry in my pocket when I didn’t want to lug my larger dslr and lenses. I bought a Canon Powershot A570 IS last night from Amazon. The camera got excellent reviews, it has manual controls as well as numerous scene modes. It has an optical viewfinder. It has image stablilization, which is a good thing when you intend to mostly hand-hold the camera. The price at Continue reading »
