Quantaray QB-6500A flash with Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi?

Sunday Jul 25, 2010

I just bought a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi camera and I have a Quantaray QB-6500A flash unit left over from my EOS Rebel XS film camera days. The flash has a "CN AF" module on it, which is only TTL compatible, not E-TTL, and the XTi won’t fire the flash. Is there a module available to make this flash unit work with Type A (E-TTL) Canon EOS digital cameras, or should I just buy a Canon Speedlite?

It my be simpler to just buy a new flash, especially considering how fine a piece of equipment the new XTi is.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi question about using the LCD screen?

Thursday Jul 15, 2010

so Im using this camera,
its a friend’s and Im trying to figure out how to use the LCD screen instead of the view finder like a regular simple digital camera with just the LCD.
does anyone know how to do this?
I already know how to view pictures and stuff like that so thats not what Im looking for

thanks!

If you want to compose the photo with the LCD, it’s better to stay with a point and shoot (hence cheaper) camera. What you have is a digital SLR, and basically you compose the photo by looking though the optical viewfinder. It shows you exactly what the lens is seeing.

Some dSLR cameras have "live view" which is what you are looking for. But think about it. If the camera is 2 to 3 pounds (especially if a larger lens is mounted on it), can you hold it a foot away from your face to do that?

You have better control of the lens (zooming / focusing) when it’s rested in your right hand and against your face.

To answer your question, your camera doesn’t have live view.

Canon A1000 IS 10.0 Megapixel Digital Camera

Thursday Jul 8, 2010

The sleek design of the PowerShot A1000 IS is as refreshing as a breath of fresh air. Better still, its high-end features make everything simple: there’s the 10.0-megapixel resolution and powerful 4x Optical Zoom lens with Optical Image Stabilizer for sharpness along the full zoom range. A DIGIC III Image Processor with Canon Face Detection automatically lets every face stand out. Easy Mode and Easy Playback make this camera a marvel of simplicity. With a bright 2.5-inch LCD, it’s available in four two-toned colors.

What kind of lens should i get if i am interested in buying a Canon Digital Rebel XTi?

Monday Jul 5, 2010

I’m interested in buying a nice, easy to use camera. I’ve done a little research and the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi seems to be my best bet. I’m a beginner at photography,so I’m kind of confused on the proper lens to buy. I don’t really need a lens with like 50X zoom. Just looking for a standard beginners lens for a good price. Can anyone help?

the kit lens 18-55mm is cheap – but it has bad reviews.

you could go for the stabilised 17-85mm zoom, but that’s a bit more expensive. But at least you’ll have as much zoom as a compact!

if you’re a beginner, and assuming you don’t have an infinite budget, I don’t think you can go for any lenses of the "L" family – these are very expensive, professional grade lenses from Canon, and they will cost a good deal more than the Digital Rebel XTi itself!

Final note: the Digital Rebel XTi is at the end of its life. To judge by replacement cycle, it seems VERY likely that Canon will announce a replacement next Jan at a big show, or at the latest in Feb. This will likely have 12mp (vs. 10mp), and will also offer "live view" (ie you’ll be able to compose shots on the screen like on a compact, which can be useful in quite a few situations). So if you must buy an XTi today, make sure you get a DEEP discount.

Alternatively, you could try to look for older possibly higher-end models, where the successor is already out (rather than still to be announced). For example, these days, the semi-pro 10mp Nikon D80, w the kit lens 18-70mm, will go for say 1′200 dollars, which is comparable to what you’d pay for a Canon XTi w the sabilised 17-85mm lens. And the D80 is a much superior camera in many respects.

Hope this helps
