you all are completely exposed in your view.  perhaps you need a better apeture for your lens in order to convey your focal length.

 I think my wife has a Cannon too Mike. Nice cameras. Good company support. The only problem we are having is finding and organizing the proper storage for the zillions of pics she takes. She has overloaded a few computers and external hard drives,likes to use picasa which I dislike because it is so proprietary. Had a file I wanted to show here but I couldn't get the pics arrrghh.
 We have so far ended up mostly leaving the pics on the camera cards and buying more  lol.

Looks like you may be a little overexposed there, Tim.

 I try to avoid that. I have the potato farmer tan.

When will this f-stop? 

I try to throw out as many near miss photos as I can.

We are always upgrading to new backup drives, but the cost still seems cheaper than the space I still use to store all my old negatives.

Our short term goal is to get a NAS server for the entire photo collection so that we may access them wirelessly and sort out the most likely to be valued over the years so they are easy to find and print.

BTW, "her" camera is an original Canon 5d and I use our Canon 5dmkII... we like having them because there are such nice lenses available for them.

The new Canon 6D is about to come out and it has great specs. In the meantime the 5dmkII is dropping in price and is a lot of bang at the latest prices.

But then, the Nikon bodies make some Canon owners, like me, envious.

When you have a bunch of lenses you like it's likely you stay with a system.

It's never clear, to me, which compnay is in the lead at any given time.

We retired a 35mm Nikon FE and gave away the lenses when we bought the Canon full frame DSLR.

Now Nikon makes a real nice full frame body with excellent on board noise reduction processing.

I wish it was easy to use the lenses I have on either. :-)

Hey Mike, ask the repair centre if they can get an image count. I was talking to a pro photographer about the state of our beloved Nikon's and he told me one of his main cameras had died. At the service centre they determined the shutter died, but it had taken 530,000 pictures before doing so!
...

  
And that is NIKKON's biggest selling point for professionals ... the quality of the builds of the camera defines its ability. Canon is not exactly designed for "professionals" like the other hardcore cameras are. All in all, I do believe that the "digital" will probably blur this area somewhat ... although it being able to click half a million pictures, will immediately tell you that 2 or 3K for that camera is CHEAP.

Good thing you filtered that reply otherwise the moderators would focus for being naughty.

I shutter to think what might have happened, then.
