comment Why would I use a rear gelatin filter over a front filter?
Note that many lenses need not be removed to change a gel filter. You only slip out the holder change filters, slide it back in and lock.

comment How to learn to predict which lens to use between a 14-42mm and 40-150mm?
Perhaps it's a personal matter but I can tell you that my choice of lens depends much more on factors not seen in images.

comment How to learn to predict which lens to use between a 14-42mm and 40-150mm?
Those Flickr search seem only vaguely helpful. One has no idea if the image was cropped or when the photographer was located to take the shot. A big reason a certainly lens is used is because of the surroundings which are not in the frame.

comment Going to Tanzania on Safari will I need a tripod or will most shots be from a vehicle?
Yes, ask the organizer. Safaris can be very restrictive for movements and equipment allowance. In many cases you cannot leave the vehicle and a bean-bag is commonly used for support. In some cases, the bean-bag is supplied, so you may not need to buy your own.

comment Do you need permissions to put up a DVD cover on an online shopping site?
This is legal question and something you should a lawyer versed in IP law in your area.

@Shane - Without knowing more, any of the Fuji EXR models are probably best. They have nice image-quality and most importantly for outdoor photography, class-leading dynamic-range which is very helpful when shooting in broad daylight.

@Shane - But why those? They are kind of random. Why not a Fuji Finepix F770 EXR or F800 EXR (Same as F770 but with WiFi) for example? These two have a better and larger sensor. Or a Sony WX300 for something ultra-compact?

comment Looking for a new point and shoot camera!
@Shane - Experts do not prefer anything if it is not for a particular task and, really, most people into photography would most likely not buy this type of camera. We have no idea even why you are considering these two completely random models.

comment What does infinity focus mean and when should I use it?
It really depends on the design. Many zoom no longer have a scale at all. Plenty can turn the wring indefinitely and some stop at some point either at or beyond infinity. Since there are no marking on many such lenses, I have no idea if it is the same point or not.

comment Second Lens: 35mm for Nikon D3100 - considerations for making the purchase
Way too many question here. The only thing I'll say is that it is a personal choice. Go with what you want.

comment Is there a way to use Canon 18-200 EF-s lens on Canon 6D full frame body?
Honestly, I do not get it. You have a lens with relatively poor optical quality and you are upgrading to a full-frame sensor. The last thing you want is to cripple your new camera.

comment What might be causing my AF system to misfocus?
Assuming the area under the red dot is not moving, you may have the camera suffering from front or back focusing issues which are also already covered on this site. Without a sample image or a few, it is hard to tell what is happening.
