I nominate my recent inquiry re: the SD slot in the Canon 50d. Had I used my glasses and seen that it was the backup battery slot and the icons were a miserable representation of the main battery, I would have saved Able some bandwidth and perhaps a smidge of my self-esteem.

maybe a smidge. or not.

I have never shot a wedding before, but my friend has seen some pictures I have taken and wants me to do their wedding. It's in two weeks. What camera/lens should I use, and at what settings? What should I charge?

Sorry, I know it's more than one question, but they all seem to go together.......

Obviously for those "spray and pray" sessions.

I can see this thread hurting some feelings.....while there have been some really dumb questions, I don't think posting them has any merit other than to belittle the original poster. Unless it is from another board....then post on.

If someone isn't identified why would they have their feelings hurt ?
There is a "no politics" policy on this board which would eliminate being "politically correct".....

Okay... this wasn't posted here but my nomination for the stupidest question. A passerby asked me "Are you hurt? after I crashed while rollerblading (and not wearing all the appropriate safety gear) resulting in a large gash and a visibly broken wrist...

I know its not photo/forum related but I am still amazed at that one!

overheard in a camera store:

" Why would I buy a new camera ? Can't I just buy some pixels and put them on this one ? "

I agree with Rich, this thread is useless.
