I bought my Canon XSi/450D refurbished from B&H about 3 years ago, and was very happy with it. I did eventually notice a bright red pixel on all of my pictures (although typically only visible in ...
Don't just look at the photo, but look at the histogram, too! Often when looking at just the photo on an LCD, you can't get a good feel for under- or over-exposure, or even color balance, but if you ...
Some suggestions and comments, in no particular order of importance. Lenses For indoor shooting, a 55-300mm lens will do you close to no good, unless you have an amazingly large indoor area. You'll ...
