We are making the same choices right now. I think I have decided on a Canon Rebel xti. I really don't know that much about camera and I have never taken picture taken seriously but I have had a change of heart about pictures recently. I want to be able to take great picture but not willing to go into the top pro cameras as that is just a waste of money for me as I wouldn't know what to do with them. Go to a camera shop it is always better to hear someone explain the differances in person.

I've always used Nikon cameras, but Canon's are just as good. One complaint I've heard about the Canon digital rebels and EOS is that the camera body is pretty small which is annoying if you have large hands. Other than that, it's just what you're comfortable with, I find that the Nikons are more user friendly, but it could just be that I haven't used many Canons.

Digital Camera SLR - Canon E0S 1D5 Mark III
Both are Good Brands in terms of quality performance. I would choose Canon E0S 1DS Mark III.

Canon for me! I use Power Shots IS3 camera and it is very good for me. on DSLR segment I also like Canon, because their objectives are less expensive then Nikon's. You can by more objectives if you use Canon.

I've talked with a friend of mine who is a photographer. He says that it depends on if you are a pro potographer or if it's a pocket camera you need. If it is a pocket camera you need then he recomends: Casio EXZ1000. It should be the best on the market right now.

Everybody know about Sms , but do you know this.......19 Short Message Service SMS appeared on the wireless scene in 1991 in Europe, where digital wireless technology first took root. The European standard for digital wireless, now known as the global standard for mobiles (GSM), included short messaging services from the outset. In North America, SMS was initially made available on digital wireless networks built by early pioneers such as BellSouth Mobility and Nextel. In 1998, when the buildout of personal communications service (PCS) networks based on GSM, code division multiple access (CDMA), and time division multiple access (TDMA) methods was completed, SMS enjoyed full-fledged deployment. The point-to-point SMS provides a mechanism for transmitting short messages to and from wireless handsets. The service makes use of a short message service center (SMSC), which acts as a store-and-forward system for short messages. The wireless network provides for the transport of short messages between the SMSCs and wireless handsets. In contrast to existing text message transmission services such as alphanumeric paging, the service elements are designed to provide guaranteed delivery of text messages to the destination. A distinguishing characteristic of the service is that an active mobile handset is able to receive or submit a short message at any time, independent of whether or not a voice or data call is in progress. SMS also guarantees delivery of the short message by the network. Temporary failures are identified, and the short message is stored in the network until the destination becomes available. SMS is characterized by out-of-band packet delivery and low-bandwidth message transfer. Initial applications of SMS focused on eliminating alphanumeric pagers by permitting two-way general-purpose messaging and notification services, primarily for voice mail. As technology and networks matured, a variety of services were introduced, including electronic mail and fax integration, paging integration, interactive banking, and information services such as stock quotes. Wireless data applications include downloading of subscriber identity module (SIM) cards for activation, debit, and profile-editing purposes. 2. Benefits of Short Message Service In today's competitive world, differentiation is a significant factor in the success of the service provider. Once the basic services, such as voice telephony, are deployed, SMS provides a powerful vehicle for service differentiation. The benefits of SMS to the service provider are as follows: • increased call completion on wireless and wireline networks by leveraging the notification capabilities of SMS • an alternative to alphanumeric paging services • enabling wireless data access for corporate users • provision of value-added services such as e-mail, voice mail, and fax mail integration; reminder service; stock and currency quotes; and airline schedules • provision of key administrative services such as advice of charge, overthe- air downloading, and service provisioning All of these benefits are attainable quickly with modest incremental cost, and typical investment payback periods are less than six months. The benefits of SMS to subscribers center around convenience, flexibility, and seamless integration of messaging services and data access. From this perspective, the benefit is to be able to use the handset as an extension of the computer. SMS also eliminates the need for separate devices for messaging, as services can be integrated into a single wireless device—the mobile terminal.

Hi, I am assuming you are asking about digital SLR cameras, if YES then Canon, Nikon and best, I personally like Canon EOS series. I would research more on cnet.com regards Ashutosh

I'm loyal to Nikon myself. I used to use Canon but was never happy with it but never knew why. Then I tried a Nikon and I'd never go back, the feel of it is far less toy-like and I find it really easy to learn all the functions. Go to a camera shop and ask to hold and test some of their cameras and see which you prefer. I'd recommend the Nikon though - all the way!

I would suggest canon. I am a canon user eversince. Check out the features of Ixus 850. It has a lot of very good features. One that I like is its aquarium setting. When you are taking pictures and there is a glass on it or behind you, once you put it on the aquarium set up, there will be no glare on the photo. It will be transparent, as if no glass at all. Especially when you are inside the airplane, and wanting to take a shot of the clouds, Ixus 850 will be perfect. the glass will not reflect on the lense.

Both are excellent choices! Although I own a Canon and not a Nikon. Another wonderful brand of which simply does not market as much, is the Pentax. I own a number of them and the great thing about them is that their lenses are interchangeable. I even have lenses for my film SLR that I can use on my digital SLR as well. But, that's really not good use of information to you if you're not planning to start a collection. I'm positive you will love whatever one you choose, all great brands!
