Here's what I use:

  • Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi (camera) + accessory kit
  • Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens Kit
  • Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 II USM Lens
  • Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens

Here's what I chose:

Digital SLR >> Canon >> Brick and Mortar Stores

- Olympus E-510 DSLR camera.

- Zuiko Digital 14-42mm F3.5-5.6

- Zuiko Digital 40-150mm F4-5.6

- Zuiko 50mm F1.8

- Zuiko 50mm F1.4

- Sunpak Auto 383 Flash (GN36).

- SanDisk Extreme IV 4GB 266x CF.

- Lexar Porfessional 1GB 133x CF.

- Kingston 2GB 66x CF.

- Olympus 512MB xD (H)

- HOYA HMC 49mm close up filters set (3+, 2+, 1+).

- Tiffen 58mm close up filters set (4+, 2+, 1+).

- Tiffen 49mm UV filter.

- DIGIAL 58mm Polarize filter.

- DIGIAL 58mm FLD filter.

- DIGIAL 58mm UV filter.

- Batteries, tripods, shutter release cable, etc :)

I prefer brick and mortar stores, but the price difference generally ends up being big enough that I can't justify it.

I bought my 580EX II at a Hunts Camera, and they discounted it for me, but I still paid $40 more than Amazon...that's with a massive discount. Before the discount it was $110 more than Amazon.

Some of the lenses at Hunts cost >$150 more than Amazon.

Looks like I'm the only one who said 35mm SLR, although I am surprised someone else said 35mm compact even I cant say thats my No.1 system although high end 35mm compacts are great because the frame size means you can get DSLR quality from a tiny little camera, although many film compacts negate this advantage because of Crappy Zooms, films or processing.

    • they couldnt do W11 LTSC so the support lasts longer....
    • The fact that the pref is not enabled by default tells you that what you see is what you get...for now. Hopefully the final version will have all the quirks ironed out.
    • It's enterprise, not consumer. And "...affected scenarios involve third-party software..." Would be good to know that in headline, not way down in the article. Instead, you lead with Windows update, which is not very helpful and misleading, IMHO. Just saying.
