Photo Tip of the Week: Autofocus Techniques, Part II
It's not difficult to maximize the success ratio of an autofocus (AF) system. However, certain circumstances pose a greater challenge.
Photo Tip of the Week: Autofocus Techniques, Part I
Autofocus technology has been significantly improved since it was introduced 27 years ago. Even so, some photo enthusiasts insist that even the best systems in recent interchangeable-lens cameras are far from reliable.
Photo Tip of the Week: Consider a Superzoom Camera
The majority of digital cameras feature a 5x optical zoom lens, with a focal length range around 28-140mm (35mm equivalent). But there are many models with an 18x or 26x or 30x lens, and even one with a built-in 50x zoom, Canon's PowerShot SX50HS.
Photo Tip of the Week: Pros and Cons of Full-Frame DSLRs, Part II
Now that prices for full-frame DSLRs have dropped to a relatively affordable level, it may make sense to add one to your system, retaining your faster small-sensor DSLR. That's what I did and owning two DSLRs, each with its own advantages, offers the best of both worlds.
Photo Tip of the Week: Pros and Cons of Full-Frame DSLRs, Part I

Photo Tip of the Week: Pros and Cons of Zoom Lenses, Part 1
Walk into any major camera store, or check a retailer's Website, and one fact will immediately become evident. Zoom lenses greatly outnumber the single-focal-length or "prime" lenses. Some serious photographers are still wary of zooms, but others have switched almost entirely to such lenses.
Photo Tip of the Week: Consider a Submersible "Tough" Camera
Now that many Canadians are planning trips south for the winter, it's worth checking out some of the cameras in the "tough" category. The current models are waterproof to a depth of 10 or more meters, so they're ideal for use in a pool or while snorkelling in the ocean.
Photo Tip of the Week: Get Better Image Quality at Very High ISO Levels
Nearly all digital cameras today offer many high ISO options, with sensitivity levels up to ISO 1600, ISO 3200, or even higher. These are very useful, since they allow us to shoot at a faster shutter speed in a dark location.
