Yeah, manual zoom rings are great, but unfortunately that's a feature that's been decontented out of most ZLRs. Good choice. Consider trying CHDK on it. The SX1 already has many of the features that CHDK provides to the lower end Canon models, but there's still some useful stuff in there. If you have any questions on CHDK let me know. I wrote a lot of documentation for it and I'm very familiar with it.

His lack of knowledge is not limited just to digital cameras, but extends to other fields as well. It's amusing at first, then as you stated, it gets boring.

You've described yourself quite well. -- Best regards, John Buying a dSLR doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a dSLR owner.

This is a laugh whenever this happens. This psychotic SMS troll who has NEVER touched CHDK doesn't know a damn thing about it. Even if you ask him how to install it he gets that wrong! Dozens of people have asked him things about CHDK in the past and he conveniently ignores their questions, pretending he never saw them. LOL! |
