I am looking for a telescopic lens for my Canon Rebel XTI digital camera?

i currently have a Canon Rebel XTI camera, i am interested in becoming a photographer. i am looking for a telescopic lens or telescopic zoom lens but dont know what to buy. i am try to zoom in at stuff like a boat on the ocean or wild life. can ayone help me.

rob answers:

For a boat on the ocean or wildlife, you want to be in the 300mm or greater range. Check into the Canon 70-300 “IS” lens. It’s over $500, but it’s a decent lens for your purposes.

What is the max exposure time on the Canon Rebel xti?

I am thinking about purchasing the Canon Rebel xti, but one thing i would like to know first is the max exposure time on the unit?

rob answers:

30 seconds + bulb … Using a locking remote shutter release, you can take exposures as long as you like

What type of lens and flash to purchase for a Canon Rebel XTI?

I am an amature photographer and just bought a Canon Rebel XTI. I’m trying to buy some accessories for it and I don’t know what to buy. I like to take pics of flowers, insect, especially food and performers on stage.

rob answers:

For flash, get the EX 430. For lenses get a prime and one zoom. The 50mm 1.8 EF is cheap but one of the best values. As for zoom, it depends on if you want telephoto or just standard zoom. Most people prefer an all in one zoom like 28-200m so they don’t have to interchange lens as often, and also have to buy lots of lens.

Mandy asks…

How do I check which firmware my Canon Rebel XTi is running on?

I just got a Canon Rebel XTi and was wondering how to check to see which version of the firmware it’s running. Is there a way to check it on the camera using the LCD screen?

rob answers:

Press Menu > Settings 2 > Scroll down. Your Firmware version should be shown on there.

Thomas asks…

How long will the Canon Rebel XTI camera last?

My friend was telling me today that she would like to sell me her Canon Rebel XTI that came out in late 2006 so I’m assuming she bought it in 2007? Anywho, I was wondering if anyone knows how long they are made to last for? I don’t want to give her a few hundred bucks then have it break in a couple months. I know my other friend has an XSI that’s still kickin’
Thanks ahead of time!

rob answers:

Probably longer than you will keep it.

Most dSLR cameras can last over 10 years, but most people buy a new one every five years or so due to the advancing of technology.

The 100,000 shutter cycles is how many times camera companies test them, not when they are expected to fail.

I have a colleague that has two Nikon D3′s. They are tested to 300,000 shutter cycles, but one of his failed at over 700,000 cycles and the other one has over 1,000,000 cycles on it and it is still working fine

If the camera is in good shape, just enjoy it
