My EF-s 18-200 IS lens died. Frankly it was the worst lens Canon ever made, horrible vignetting.

I want to get a different lens instead for my Rebel xti, or maybe two. I'm an amateur but want good quality photos, mostly landscapes but also close-ups, so I like a versatile lens. I was thinking of going to the L series but considering the cost, is that overkill for both the intended purpose and the adequate-but-not-extraordinay Rebel body? Would appreciate any guidance.

Hi, Jim0
You have seen the optical compromises needed to make a "does everything" lens, and you didn't like it. Rather than grab another one try getting two more specialized ones.
You want to do landscapes, so you want something wide. Wide on a crop needs to be wider than wide on full frame.
A Canon or Sigma 10-20 or 10-22 would be good for the wide landscapes.

For just a bit more you could have the incredibly wide aperture (for a zoom) new Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 lens. No one has ever made a zoom with anything even close to an aperture this bright. .

For the long end, I'd consider going with a 70-200 L lens. They are all good, and they range in price from just $700 for the very sharp f/4 non-IS version to $2300 for the f/2.8 and IS version.

The old advice of buying new glass instead of new bodies is good advice.
Good luck!

Blackberry Pearl- Why it's the worst phone ever made

Here's why I think the Blackberry Pearl is the worst phone ever made.
1. I can't get photo's off of it. My G1 takes a few seconds. I've worked with this Pear for hours upon hours cannot get my photo's off of it. The Desktop manager really bites too no help there. I really dislike this phone. The software just as bad. I guess they were on the move when Desktop manager was getting written.
2. The phone on occasions would lock on letters instead of numbers. There wasn't an intuitive way to get it unlocked. I found it more intuitive to get a my return from the IRS than it was to get the phone back to dialing numbers.
I'm having my kids dress up as a Blackberry Pearl for Halloween. I'm going to make a Halloween Movie Freddy Kruger attacks people with Blackberry Pearl the topper scene features unsuspecting Pearl user getting tied up and has them attempt to copy their photos off to a PC and the video gets put on Youtube for Christmas.
Very unsatisfied with your product.
Don Quixote

I want to join the fun here and list all the different reasons why I'm very unsatisfied with this phone.
The actual phone part of this phone is pretty slow. It accepts a phone number almost 3 times slower than I can type it in. Even typing a name on their handy search bar takes forever to get a result. If I type to fast, it just ignores a couple of my numbers so I have to delete and retype, at the same super slow pace. I'm guessing that it searches all sorts of contact and history lists to give me cool suggestions, and that's what makes it so slow. Either way, it irritates me to no end that the basic reason I have this thing is slow as dirt.
All 3rd Party and Blackberry apps require the Blackberry data service. Even though there's WIFI on this phone, you simply can't connect to anything except the Browser (and even the Browser requires some setting changes to bypass the upsell screen). This phone CAN do 3rd party services and other applications without the Blackberry data service, but they just don't allow you to.
Sometimes my phone just turns off. I don't normally mind the 3 minute boot up process, but when I'm in the middle of something and my phone turns off for no reason, it just compounds my frustration.
The keyboard freezes up all the time. After a good 1-5 minute "please wait clock", I finally get a message saying there was an error and my input application had to be reset. Sometimes it doesn't quite reset all the way and I have to pull the battery and again wait for the long boot up process.
Its a little unreliable. Besides the phone turning off at random and the keyboard freezing, I still have problems other problems. My bluetooth turns off and sometimes doesn't come back. Once I had to get a new phone sent to me in order to correct that problem. Pressing buttons doesn't always get a response, especially the green "call" button. If the phone is bogged down, it just ignored commands, which is pretty frustrating especially if you press a button and accidently double enter a command that is both the "on" and "off" options. Also, sometimes the screen fades out (like its suppose to) but doesn't come back when you press keys. Or the external notifications just don't turn on. It somestimes just doesn't read my memory card. The zoom feature on my camera also got stuck.
Other small gripes involve having no caps lock, the SureType never learning from my typing ("Hey" always goes out as "Get"), its overall slowness, the looseness of the back casing, the low quality camera, and so much more.
I don't suggest this phone to anyone.

Family Sharing iTunes iPhone6 = Worst Mistake Ever!

If you're thinking of switching from Android to iPhone - don't. May be the worst purchase I've made in my life.
My wife had an iPhone. I had Galaxy S5. We used 1 Apple ID. Everyone was OK. Then, we buy 2 new iPhone 6's and attempt to split between 2 separate Apple ID's using Family Sharing. Since I bought a MacBook last year, I thought "as long as everything is Apple, maybe things will be easier and simple." In concept, it all sounds so great. Reality is it delivers on none of the promises. Its been this way since the first iPod & iTunes was released. I probably should have known, but more than a decade has passed and they sell it so well at the retail store and Apple online. Frankly, I think Apple had defrauded all of us.
1) Unless you want your iPhones to be absolute mirrors of each other, you cannot share a computer with iTunes. Not even on a MacBook. I know no one who wants this. If you read the terribly written and false "help" articles on Apple Support, they say you can/should use different accounts in OS X and iTunes. Through some elaborate file sharing schema you can duplicate all your media files on your hard drive (for each user) and perform manual searches and updates when making music purchases. There is absolutely nothing easy or user friendly about it. Even the simple act of restoring the ability to unselect the syncing of apps seems like would solve most people's complaints. Until then, its an utter mess at best.
2) Family "Sharing". What a joke. This is not ready for beta much less GA. Searching the forums, EVERYONE is having massive issues with this. Lots of "work arounds" - which basically involve disabling & not using Family "Sharing" - but no resolution from Apple. Not even a post acknowledging the issue or advising on it. Not in the past 4+ months its clear customers have been mislead about how it should work but have found in practice it does not. Seems it may work for people who've never made an Apple purchase before starting Family Sharing, but I have my doubts.
When is Apple going to fix this crap? I'm honestly considering returning my phones and getting a pair of GS5's.
P.S. Since I'm ranting... ringtones. This was another Apple disaster I was reminded of in this process. If you have a ringtone you want to download or someone has sent you, the Android way (even Blackberry for crying out loud!) is simple: save & use. 5 seconds and you're off to the races.
User: "I have a ringtone on my phone I want to use."
Apple: "You don't want it on your phone, you want it on your computer."
User: "But its on my phone already."
Apple: "Yeah, but you need it on your computer."
User: "If I want to use it on my phone, why do I want it on my computer?"
Apple: "So you can transfer it to your phone."
User: "Huh? I have to transfer the ringtone from my phone to my computer so I can put it back on my phone?"
Apple: "Yes. Make sense?"
User: "Only if you smoke crack."

Family Sharing still does not work. We're testing the 'delete & reinstall' method, but what a pain since pretty much every app fails to update. You lose all your data when you uninstall the app so you have to start from scratch all over again. Seriously need a fix for this since its a key element to sharing 1 iTunes on 1 MacBook.
Found a solution for sharing 1 iTunes on 1 MacBook without duplicating music files. Its not very elegant, but it seems workable.

Does Apple Canada have the worst customer support ever?

Yes! Ask me why...
I'm posting here a) to warn other Mac users what to expect if you ever need customer support and b) because there's no where you can actually e-mail comments to Apple, and trying to contact customer support has been fruitless (see below).
Here's what happened to me...
I bought my iBook just under three years ago - a few weeks ago, the logic board went. Now, because I purchased the computer less than three years ago, that's covered under the extended warranty for iBook logic boards (see here: http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/faq/).
Simple, right? Well, I took my computer in to my local authorized service provider about three weeks ago. They confirmed the logic board was the problem... copied my receipt for the iBook to prove date of purchase... agreed that it was covered by the warranty.
However, when they sent all this to Apple, their reply was that it was NOT covered because it was manufactured more than three years ago (although Apple's own website says it's purchase date - not manufacture date - that's important).
I called Apple last Monday to find out what was going on. Spoke to a nice fellow named Kevin who said he'd look into it, and call me back the next day.
Next day passed... no call. I called Kevin back left a message, and indicated I'd like to know what was going on.
Wednesday passed... no call. By this point, I'm getting anxious - the service provider can't move ahead without authoriztion from Apple, Apple's not returning my calls (or the service provider's) to grant authorization.
I tried Kevin again on Thursday. Left another message. No reply.
Tried back on Friday morning. Left another message. Still no reply.
Called customer support again Friday night. Antoine puts me hold for a half hour. I call back, explain that I've been on hold for half an hour, ask how long the wait should be. Antoine says two or three minutes. He puts me on hold again.
For another ten minutes.
I call back. Antoine explains that the reason I'm on hold is probably because customer service is closed. So why was I on hold for nearly an hour listening to terrible music? That's one of the mysteries of Apple customer support...
So here I am, with a computer that's been in the shop nearly three weeks, that can't be repaired because Apple won't honour its warranty, and no way to even find out what's going on, because Apple's customer service is such an unnavigable maze.
The sad thing is, I usually like Apples. I was even going to buy a new one this summer.
Now - not a chance.
The moral of the story? If you own an Apple, pray nothing ever goes wrong with it. If you expect your computer to ever need repairs, I'd suggest getting rid of your Apple now.
If you're considering buying an Apple - consider again.
As for me - from now on, make mine Microsoft.

Does Apple Canada have the worst customer support ever?
I doubt it.
Seriously, would you like some help?
Call back, and don't mess around with Customer Service. Immediately ask for Customer Relations. These are the people whose job it is to make an unhappy customer happy again. They aim to please.
A polite, but seriously disappointed tone of voice is what you need, so take some deep breaths until you can achieve that.
There was an article in the February, 2005, issue of Reader's Digest called "How to Complain." Please read these tips. Then call and tell Customer Relations your sad experience with Customer Service.
How to Complain
You call customer service to complain about a product, and you hang up angrier than when you started. That’s customer rage, a feeling experienced by millions of people with a major complaint, says Scott Broetzmann, president of an American firm that tells companies how to offer the best customer service. His secrets to getting good service:
Have a goal
If you want your product repaired, say so. Want an apology? Speak up.
Keep it short
Focus on one problem, and be succinct.
Stick with it.
You have to invest the time it takes. Don’t get what you want? Ask for a supervisor.
Skip ultimatums
Don’t threaten not to do business with them again. Why should they help you if you won’t buy from them in the future?
Plead your case
Many companies have information such as how much money you’ve spent with them and how often you complain. If you’re a good customer, they may be more willing to help.
Be nice
You’re unlikely to get what you want if you’re rude.
Good luck!

Hi joej49728017,
I am so sorry for the inconvenience caused. However this is just because Adobe Acrobat 7.0 is an outdated version & the now the activation server for it does not exist.
Please refer to the following KB doc. Error: "Activation Server Unavailable" | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
The above link will help you to install a special version that does not require activation.
In case you further need any help, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you.

I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

SQL Server 2008 is the worst installation experience ever

Sorry but you guys have really messed up with SQL Server 2008 installation.
I've been using SQL server since 6.5, so I would classify as a fan. We were looking at upgrading from 2005, which I was quite pleased with.
The installation experience is the worst I've ever experienced. I am a computer expert, and I couldn't figure out how to install it properly. Why is it that when I downloaded SQL Server Management Studio Express 2008, it seems as though it wants
to install the full database? Why is it when I was asked if I wanted to install a new version of SQL Server 2008 or use a previous install, when I chose previous install, it said that an instance ID was missing, but there was no way to specify anything
else? It drove me crazy.
Why are there so many requirements and restrictions for the installation, when all I want to do is install Management Studio? It's intolerable and makes me never want to upgrade to 2008. Why is the process so terrible when Microsoft is supposed
to have the best UE people in the business?
You guys did a really terrible job on this one.

We have not tried to cluster 2012. We used to cluster; however, we were not prepared to manage the added complications.  The result was that our non-clustered servers had better uptime.  We used to joke about how many 8s we were
getting with our cluster. (To be fair, it did not help that we had a 7x24 SLA with only 8-5 staff.  When the cluster fails to failover, it can be a long time before it is fixed. We eventually got the kinks worked out.)
I understand the frustration. Excellence and stability can be achieved, but product lifecycles can punish those who seek such qualities. Product changes and shorter support lifecycles produce revenue for MS, so I don't see this getting better.
There will be a new OS, new SQL, and a new set of problems the next time around.
I expect things to get worse until we get pushed into the cloud.  A stable environment in the cloud is profitable for MS and clients.  I do not think this is the case now outside the cloud. Upgrading applications to remain
on supported products is very costly. And about the only business benefit of the upgrade is that the product remains on a supported platform and gets security updates. Sort of sound like that blackmail virus? I'd rather pay to have a
patch for new features and focus on application upgrades that improve business processes. Now bug fixes can require a major version change - which will have new bugs. I'm ranting because of some head pounding
I've done this week due to a hard coded limitation introduced in SQL 2012 by design. I'll replace the process, but I wonder how long it will work as my SQL related PSH often breaks with a new version of something.  I'll
stop now. Where'd my Prozac go? Next week is new week, life is good, everything will work,....
PS I actually enjoy the work and think MS products are decent; however, our environment does seem to be more frail and less stable due to MS product changes - even if the products are getting better. Better is worse - what an odd thought.

"worst sounding phone ever"

In my office, all of us who use the 8830 Blackberry, get complaints from the people we speak with on the phone that our phones are the "worst sounding phone ever".
We have tried talking softer or louder, re-positioning the phones when we talk....we've tried it all. Changing the sensitiviy in the voice dialing settings does not help... (now I know why I see posts here re: problems with the voice dialing -- its gotta be the mic! )
Nothing apart from using a hands-free device seems to help.
It is as though the phone's microphone is too sensitive and everything is distorting. My calendar is a horrible phone.
This is very annoying.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is there a fix for it?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Quick test:
Go to voicenotes and record a mini conversation.
Play it back and see how you sound, and the background noise.
If it sounds normal, it may not be the mic.
Go to work and have everyone check the DB levels in Options Status .
The lower the number the better the quality -30 is good -70 bad.
You could be having reception problems with a very clear signal.
Thanks,
If you need further information please ask!
If not please resolve the post. Thanks

Worst online chat ever!

Just had the worst online chat ever, the person that was suppose to be helping me was making matters worse. All I wanted to know was what is the colour of the charging plate I was being sent. After going in circles he was telling me the colour of the phone which he couldn't get right either. I ordered white and he kept telling me it's gold and if that's not what I want I need to wait for my order, send it back and reorder! You have got to be kidding me O2!

Ipod IN-EAR Headphones, worst product ever made?

I bought a set of the in-ear headphones the other day from argos. i love other in-ear headphones as they never fall out. But the iPod ones don't actually fit in anyones ears (Have gotten all my friends to try and they don't seem to fit anyone). the worst part is that you cant return them due to hygiene reasons but now i have a product that i spent £25 on that i cannot use. and of course i can't use my iPod now as i cant handle the headphones. Even if i lay on my bed with them i actually have to hold them in (never mind walking or anything else with them). So the question, What can i do, i feel that i have been cheated out of that money with an incredibly inferior product. who do i contact to get this sorted out.
Windows XP

I had the same problem; I solved it temporarily, at least, by purchasing ear bud covers; the ones I got are made to fit over the earpiece. they work pretty well while in your ear but the bud covers do not fit very tightly and they tend to fall off the earpieces when not in use. that is pretty annoying. the earbud covers normally come in a set of three pairs in one package - small, medium and large; I don't understand this as I don't expect my ears to change sizes! good luck...

Have you ever made 3 mistakes in a row?

I volunteered to make a form for an organization because I thought I could figure out how to do it. (No one else had a clue how to even begin).
I created a form to be filled out and submitted by email. I tested it on my computer and it worked ok, so I sent it out to 15 people. I guess the reason it worked on mine is because acrobat opened it instead of reader (??)
Anyway, it didn't work on the first one, so I revised the form and re-sent it with my "oops".
Then I discovered that in my haste to get it corrected, I had attached the wrong file to that second email, so I sent a 3rd one with apologies.
Guess what? I had forgotten to re-configure 2 of the text boxes for multiple lines. When they started coming in, I realized my mistake.
Now for my question - Is there any way to copy and paste or change the destination of the 'dataset' to a revised 'pub' file or any other way to import thee data without having to retype everything myself into the revised format?
Thanks, I appreciate any suggestions,
Scott
