Assuming the 50D has higher picture quality than the XSi, could my lens be a limiting factor that negates the camera's...

I am new to the Forums as a writer. I have read a few of them before and found them helpful. My question for everyone out there is what type of flash you would recommend as a starting flash unit. Recently I started taking photography as a business and have found that there are more and more photography...

Hello I am new to this forum and I am sure I am much more of an amateur than the many talented professionals here. I prefer to shoot portraits and people scenes of travel photography.

I read in one of the forums that the person used a Tamron 28-75 2.8 for group shots also. Is this also a good choice? I know alot may depend on preference or what your shooting. The cost is a factor in my case right now. I don't have alot that I can spend but I don't want to get something that...

I am new to photography and I would like to know what would be a good, sharp lens for me to use? I asked about a couple of weeks ago and some of you use Canon 50mm f/1.8. What type of shots is this lens use for? I shoot mainly close-ups, inside & outside. I also shoot indoor & outdoor sports...
