I'm not sure how to feel about your avatar.

I have a HTC EVO 4g and the camera is honestly pretty crappy. It NEVER focuses and when i try sending them it reduces quality a lot i have no clue why. but when i looked up best 15 cameras for under $150 those were one of them and i like that its one of the more bulky ones as i think they look nicer then the thin slim ones.

your probably not doing it right? (autofocusing)

*i dont own an EVO 4G nor do i have any experience with it but im guessing its that
its probably configured to resize images to low quality when sending.

check your manual ?

i bet the EVO 4g will be suffice for taking photos of pc components, you just need better lighting is all biggrin.gif

Hey guys, I didn't think a quick little question like this deserved a thread of its own but I'm looking for a general purpose "kit-ish" lens. I recently sold my D3100 kit. I was sort of set on getting the Nikon 16-85mm (even though it was a bit pricier than I'd have liked) but apparently that's been discontinued. I've read there's going to be a 16-85mm f/4 out but I don't want to wait longer or spend too much money on that.

How is the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4? I want to avoid plastic mount if possible, so the Nikon 18-105mm doesn't seem like a good option. Any personal experience with that Sigma or other recommendations within that budget?

Thanks.

I cannot speak from experience, but I have heard almost nothing but good about the Tamron 17-50

some say it kinda struggles with AF though . i notice that its almost the same case with any tamron lens, slow focusing.

had the same problem with my first tammy lens, though, it was an 18-200 ... cant really expect much from that lens smile.gif)
