Battery cover
Discussion of Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd Digital Camera
Posted 5 months ago - We just bought this camera and the clips that hold the battery cover broke off. Now that it has been past three months of coverage a costco they won't take it back. The tabs seem to be to small to hold the batteries I think but may be wrong of course. Just wondering if anyone else had the same problem
is it a good deal?

Sweet camera for the money
Discussion of Nikon D90 Black SLR Digital Camera Kit
Posted 1 year ago - This camera looks like it packs a lot of bang for the buck. The 18-105mm lens that comes with the kit is a perfect starter lens, but an 80-200mm zoom might also be a good investment. Can't imagine needing anything more than this 12.3-megapixel camera. It would be good to know which flash memory cards would be idea for this camera. What might also be interesting would be to know how much the camera costs for the body only. Definitely a fan though. Good price and reputable bunch of stores here. I will be placing my order very soon. Still a little torn between this camera and the D300. Any recommendations?
Rebuttal of Volt-Dolts Extremely Mis-Leading Tirade Re-Sony a700 & its Battery
Discussion of Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 Digital Camera - Body Only
Posted 1 year ago - To the "Shocking Jolt' Dolt, Everything Jolt-Dolt wrote is either exaggerated or not honest. What makes an over priced battery anyway? I believe that when you leave the arena of AA NiMH rechargables, you Will Pay More! And Sony's proprietary a700 battery is $43 at amazon.com. I've bought 2 replacements there. And I love me Sony Vertical grip, though it was originally pricey at $350, it has since gone down to $300 or less. But the Grip itself!! Much better than any competitors! A true, mirror image of the horizontal grip. All the necessary buttons when tipped on its side! Nikon can't claim that! $43 for a battery offering some 650 shots, to include 50% flash (Sonys claim), for a $1100 (my price 09/2008) DSLR is not such a Big Deal now is it?? And, sometime after the Dolt wrote, there are 3rd world manufacturers making their 3rd world copies of Sony's battery. And My money says the Volt-Dolt is, and never was, No Pro! Oh yeah, and I Love my A700! I make no claim to Pro-Hood, but my camera (a700) can!!

Maybe the ultimate dSLR.. BUT... BATTERIES WILL GIVE YOU A SHOCKING JOLT!!
Discussion of Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 SLR Black Digital Camera
Posted 1 year ago - The Sony Alpha A900 is the flagship full frame model of the Alpha line. But I did a little research on the Alpha's... and found out something ugly and bothering that plagues all the current Sony Alpha's that most potential buyers don't know: all the Alpha dslr's are using a proprietary battery (the NP-FM500H) that is VERY EXPENSIVE, compared to other current li-ion batteries today; and it's kind of hard to find. But even worse, it appears that Sony is doing something to prevent third party battery manufacturers to offer better priced alternatives, in order to rip off consumers with their overpriced NP-FM500H battery. And if you think to get their (also expensive) vertical battery grip.. that one uses TWO of those overpriced suckers! Currently there are many good and well priced third party batteries available for ALL the other brands of dslr's that use proprietary li-ion rechargeables, EXCEPT the new Sony Alpha's. Things may change after I write this, but so far Sony is apparently succeeding in ripping off consumers with their overpriced batteries. And yes, you will need extra batteries with dslr cameras, because dslr's are power hungry; and even if that expensive NP-FM500H lasts a very long time, batteries do wear out with the time. Of course, this may not be a very big concern after all, at least for some people, but in my case, I usually take hundreds of shots in a day, and now I realize that if I end up buying this camera, I'll also end up losing a lot of money to overpriced batteries and accessories in the long run. I really hate when manufacturers resort to "predatory" practices like these: attracting consumers with cheap dslr's (see the A200), and then, they lock them into proprietary and overpriced items like the NP-FM500H battery. Pretty much like the inkjet printer scheme: give away the printer, catch'em and suck their money with expensive cartridges. OOOHHHH, and what if Sony decides to discontinue the NP-FM500H battery in the future, rendering ALL the current Alpha's instantly obsolete... in order to force you to upgrade to a newer model.. since NO ONE currently makes compatible batteries for the current Alpha models??? Think about it! That has indeed happened in the past with certain laptops! Discovering that issue with the Sony Alpha A350, and by extension all the other Sony dSLR's, was serious enough for me to eliminate Sony cameras from my considerations. So... if you are thinking in buying a Sony Alpha dSLR, beware that you may end up spending too much in the long run, and even risking of endangering your dSLR to instant and permanent obsolescence.

XTi vs 30D
Discussion of Canon EOS Rebel XTi Black SLR Digital Camera Body Only
Posted Feb 15, 2008 - I am upgrading, long after I should have, to a Canon digital from my film Rebel. I don't know if I should get the Rebel XTi or the 30D. I am an amateur (a bit more advanced than point and shoot) but would like to develop my photographic abilities. I like the anti dust mechanism of the XTi and the fact that it has more megapixels but most of the reviews I read about the 30D say only good things. I can't find any reviews that compare the two. If anyone has experience with both I would love to hear what you think. Maybe I should just get the XTi and spend the extra money on a good lens.
