First of all i am so pleased i got this camera!:mrgreen: Finally! i did a lot of research on the net and got a lot of good advice from people here, thank you:hail: . im happy i went for the 350D instead of the 20D as i would rather spend the leftover cash on a better lens one day as im not entirly happy with the kit lens 18-55mm. but it will do for now...:blushing:
So i have a few questoins about the camera, things that i couldnt figure out when reading the info booklet:
I noticed very quickly that setting eg. aperture 8 on the lens is not the same as aperture 8 on my slr film camera, in other words the depth of field is much smaller/shorter. i also noticed that is goes up to aperture 32 (which at first i couldnt beleive and thought it was a great lens..:lmao: ) but then realised its the equiv to say aperture 16 or 22. So i find this difficult to get used to, is there some sort of chart available for conversion?
Also i was really surprised not to find a cable release 'hole'... . why is that and how can i attach one?
Also the Cd "Raw Image Task" that came with it, is that any good or would people recommend to download/buy another convertor. I heard ps CS can read Raw files automatically (so there is a plug in for it already within ps) that can be renewed at www.adobe.com ? Any ideas, havnt tried it as yet.
Another (probably) stupid question. I am really confused about wihch lenses fit which camera so i was wondering if my 80-200mm Zoom MC A-Danubia fits the canon 350d? looked at the mount of my pentax where the lens fits and it looks similar to the canon however i am too scared to try it. its only manual focus i know, but better than nothin'!
Well thats it for now - i am sure other people have questoins also , i feel so stupid- please keep this thread going!:blushing:
