NewPhotobiz Review

If you like the world of pictures and images and would like to move a step forward and make your first online business newphotobiz reviews is just for you.

What do I mean in making it a business? You can earn money by selling your work with help of one unique product that has been developed by a photographer. This system can take any picture of children and pet whether was photographed by a professional or by an amateur and make it a beautiful picture.

This digital product is very simple and friendly to use. What is simple? It means you do not need a retain type of camera or a certain type of light or special equipment

It is created by the professional photographer, Scott Voleker who put his experience and knowledge into producing a unique system that is available and simple for anyone to use. Once you download the program you can start working with this product. The product consists of various Photoshop templates for designing background scenes. This product is very intuitive. However, just in case there are video tutorials that show you step by step exactly what to do in a very clear and simple way.

You can choose the market of children, family photos, pet photos and sooner than you think you will start making money.

You do not need special camera; you do not need special background or special studio to make it work. All you need is basic camera, basic lightning and basic background (white sheet) and Photoshop or Photoshop elements and you have your own business. All of the studio set are digital

So If you have passion for photography it about time you will see money out of it. Make it more than a hobby and start selling.

I have a SLR camera and I wanted to know who makes the better lens? March 8, 2010 | 01:40 pm

Alex

I was looking to buy some lenses for my camera and I wanted to know which brand lens I should buy. I searched for Canon, Sigma, and Quantaray. I noticed Canon lenses are a lot more expensive. Which ever one you choose, what is wrong with the other ones. i.e. if you pick Canon, then tell me what is wrong with Sigma and Quantaray.
Are Nikkor lenses better than Canon and are they only for Nikon?

Good Sigma lenses for Nikon D3000? February 5, 2010 | 11:17 pm

Alex

Hello again and thanks for the info on my previous question of Nikon D3000 VS Canon XSi. I've decided to get the Nikon D3000 with 18-55 mm lens so I can learn the ropes for a couple of years. Now my question is for a good Telephoto Zoom lens with some macro capability just in case. I found a Sigma lens on B&H: the Sigma 70-300 mm. f/4-5.6 DG Macro Autofocus AF-D Lens. I've read the reviews and so far it seems like a very good lens- I saw similar things on Amazon where people praised it. I know and understand the things I see repeated so many times it pisses me off by now:

A) You get what you pay for. (Not necessarily true IMO but that's another story, not in the mood for ranting about it)
B) First party is always superior.
C) Do not buy third party unless you're in absolute necessity. ( -_- )

However, I've made up my mind. My belief from experience with a Vivitar V3800N film SLR (yes I owned a Vivitar) is that any lens will do as long as you understand it and practice with it and understand its intricacies so you can work with them to the best of your ability. That is my stand. But I digress- returning to subject: if you have used them, are you happy with the results? I've seen pictures taken with this lens and they seem very good but just in case.

And please, PLEASE, don't answer things like OH MAI GADZ BUY FIRST PARTY LENSES BECAUSE INSERT BRAND HERE SUCKS because that is not the question. I'm asking if a Sigma lens has worked for people. Comparing it to Nikon or Canon lenses is another subject entirely- and not the thing I'm looking for. Thank you! :)

Suggestions on 18-55mm lens with Canon Digital Rebel XT/XTi? December 13, 2009 | 01:44 am

Alex

Hi,
I have been looking to upgrade to a Digital SLR and looking for a good one. I decided to go for Canon Digital Rebel XT/XTi primarily because of 2 reasons:
1. They are cheaper than Nikon with similar features
2. Have friends who have canon lenses,which I can borrow.

Can you give me suggestions on the lenses. I was told that the Nikon lenses are better than the Canon lenses.

Also that Nikon body is more sturdy than Canon.

Any other reasons to stick (or not) to Canon.

Thanks.

Question about 35mm Canon Rebel and lenses…? November 25, 2009 | 07:03 pm

Alex

I own a 35mm Canon Rebel. I am looking on ebay at a few Canon lenses and wanted to know if I could use them on my Rebel. I don't mind if they are manual, I just want to make sure I can use them.

First of all, what lens designations do I need to look for to make sure I can use the lens with a 35mm Rebel?

Second, will the lenses for an AE-1 Program fit my Rebel?

Third, will a Canon 35mm Camera Lens 200mm 1:35 work with my Rebel?

Thanks for any help.
The 200mm lens is a manual lens. I am not sure how old it is.

Will the 200mm manual lens work on the AE-1 Program?

How can I use my Canon lenses on my Olympus camera? November 6, 2009 | 04:06 am

Alex

I have a Canon Digital EOS Rebel XT and have purchased an Olympus Evolt E-300. Is there something I can use to be able to use my Canon lenses on the Olympus? I purchased the body only, so would rather use lenses I have than buy all new, obviously. Thanks!
I have been able to find an adapter that goes the other way -- in other words something that will let me use Olympus lenses on my Canon. Doesn't it follow that there should be one that goes the other way?

Can old lenses from the 70s fit on to the Canon EOS series? October 4, 2009 | 11:17 am

Alex

My dad has old canon lenses from the 70s and I was thinking I'd get him a DSLR, specifically the Canon Digital Rebel XTi. I heard that the old lenses do fit the EOS series but I have no idea if that's true or not. Is there anyway I can tell by looking at the lenses themselves? A model number or something?

Are SLR cameras lenses compatible with Digital SLR cameras? September 10, 2009 | 02:15 pm

Alex

I have a set of lenses (various brands) which fitted my old SLR cameras (not well known brands in this country). Would they still be able to fit the new digital SLR cameras or if not can adaptors be bought to convert them? I am interested in buying from the Canon 450 range. Would they be compatible or do you have to buy Canon lenses?

What is the best starting lens for the Canon Digital Rebel XTi? August 21, 2009 | 01:47 am

Alex

I was going to go with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens but I read some reviews and the downside is that it is disappointing in night or low light shots, has a lot of glare (whatever that means). I don't think all Canon lenses are like that so which one should I go for?

I need your opinion about lenses for Canon Digital Rebel XTi (EOS 400D)? August 3, 2009 | 09:27 am

Alex

Currently I have a simple digital point and shoot Sony camera; I am planning on upgrading to the Canon Rebel XTi. Since I have only ever owned point and shoot cameras I know nothing about lenses. I would like to buy a kit on Ebay that includes the camera body and a couple of lenses. There are cheaper kits that include Tamron lenses or Sigma lenses; and more expensive kits that include Canon lenses. My question is: If I want to save money and go with the Tamron or Sigma lenses, will I be sacrificing quality? Or should I spend the extra cash and get the Canon lenses?

Can I use my old CANON 35mm camera lenses with the new Canon Digital SLR series cameras? July 20, 2009 | 02:47 am

Alex

Obviously, I am still with the 35mm camera (the Wonderful Canon Elan II-e EOS film camera). I had two very versatile lenses with it 1) 28-80mm, 2) 35-200mm. Both original Canon lenses that came with the orig camera about 11 yrs back. Is it possible I can re-use them in a new Canon 40D body? I believe I can. However, need to find, what features/functionalities am I going to miss by doing so? Also if anyone has a weburl on the topic, I will appreciate it.
thanks.

SLR Lenses: Camera Brand vs. Third Party Brand? July 14, 2009 | 01:46 pm

Alex

I am looking to purchase my first SLR camera (Probably a Canon XTi) and I have been looking at some packages that contain additional lenses. The packages that come with the additional Canon lenses seem to be more expensive than those that come with third party lenses (ie. Sigma or Tamron). How big a deal is it to use a 3rd party lense vs, the Canon lense? Will I lose functions by not using the branded lense? Or is this a case of paying extra for the Canon name? Thanks for the help, this SLR and lense changing stuff is all new to me.

Alex

OK, i currently have an Canon Elan 7. for that camera i have a few lenses.. but not canon lenses. they are by manufacturers such as sigma, tameron, etc.. i have read that Canons auto focus lenses will work on the new digital body cameras(i am looking at getting a 20D), but they never say anything about the non-mfg lenses. does anyone know if they will work as well, or is this not a clear cut answer?

Thanks!

How can I tell if my Canon lenses will fit a digital camera? July 1, 2009 | 12:06 pm

Alex

I have a Canon Elan 7 and was planning on purchasing the Canon 50D. I have a few Canon lenses to go with my camera and did not know if they would be compatible with the digital camera I was getting. How can I tell if I can switch the lenses between digital and film? So I know if I need to buy a lens to go with the camera or not.
Thanks!
I am open to any other feedback about the camera too.
