Thanks. It's much easier when you've got the equivalent of a 12mm lens to work with. I'm tempted to buy the IR remote but I take so few pictures including myself that the cost wouldn't justify it.

My remote was like $15 I think. I bought it for when I do studio stuff and need a cable release or for at night to avoid camera shake. Then I figured out how to be really vain and busted out with the self portraits.

hey..... i'm looking to get a digital camera and was wondering if you guys could recommend one. i only have about $300 - $350 to spend (considering i will also need a memory card), but would like the best one possible for that price range. any suggestions as to where i should/shouldn't go to buy one? ideally, i would like a 5 Megapixel camera (although i'm probably going to have to settle for 4) with manual/automatic focusing and manual/automatic exposure control. i don't know enough about cameras and their prices to know whether or not this is feasible at all. all the cameras i see with these features are more like $500, but i figured there's gotta be some out there that aren't so expensive. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Sigma charges more for their remote, don't know if generics will work. I'll have to check around the sigma forums, first on my list is a Electronic Flash EF 500 DG Super

I'm partial to Sony cameras. This one is looking nice, 5MP and full manual exposure / focus if you want it. The lens is some pretty decent Carl-Zeiss glass. There is a nice kit on eBay @ http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3859771968&rd=1 for $360.00 right now with 256MB of memory sticks.

Good, hope you enjoy it. I would have recommended the V1 but it has a very small lens and I was reading mixed reports on whether it was large enough to output non blurry shots at 5MP. The only other feature that was worthwhile was nightshot (IR) mode, but it didn't seem to be worth the poorer glass. The 640x480 video mode should be good for some pretty decent video too, based on my experience. Have fun!
