krsyyyy
I just got a new Sony DSLR A200W and I'm clueless on how to clean it. my friend says i can buy a cloth for the camera lens. So i was asking him if i use the spectacle cloth we use to clean our glasses would be able to clean the camera but he is not sure. What do you suggest i do? any extra information on cleaning the rest of the camera part is good to know too(:
thanks alot!!
Answer
Congratulations on your new camera.
There is a section in the Owner's Manual for your camera on "Care and Cleaning" of your camera. If you follow them you won't have to worry about harming your camera.
I have used Pentax and PhotoSilk lens cleaning cloths for years. Any camera shop should have a selection so just choose one and use it. In 37 years I have never used a liquid lens cleaner. For stubborn smudges just breathe on the lens and use the cloth. I also use the lens cloth to clean my glasses.
While you're buying your lens cloth, buy a Haze/UV filter to protect the front element of your lens. Choose from Heliopan, B+W, Singh-Ray, Hoya or Tiffen. Don't be tempted to "cheap out" when buying any filter. Its better to clean a filter than the front element of your lens.
You may as well add a circular polarizer filter to your shopping list. A polarizer will darken a blue sky and remove glare/reflections from water, glass, snow, sand and painted metal - but not polished metal. It will also enhance colors. Choose your polarizer filter from the aforementioned brands.

Canon or Sony DSLR camera?
Q. Okay, so my girlfriend is getting me into photography. She has been a photographer for a while and recommended taking me to the Sony store for my first camera. However, I've found a Canon Rebel EOS XSi, with an extra lens and equipment.
Which one is better, based on photographic performance?
Thanks for your input!

Answer
Canon's XSi is not the newest camera in the world, which is why you've managed to find one with accessories for a nice looking price. With a lack on knowledge there is the possibility that the accessories coming with the camera you've found are not so hot too (though I could be wrong).
When it comes to Sony SLT's (technically not DSLRs) they suit newbies and gadget phreaks, and offer more bang for the buck than Canon (or Nikon). You'll find there is a great deal of resistance from the brand nazis to anything other than Canon or Nikon, which as Nikon relies so heavily on Sony components is a little lame. So, am I gong to suggest you go out and buy a Sony, well no actually. I'm going to suggest that you find a few camera shops and see how each brand feels in your hands. If it feels right then go for it, whether it's Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax, Olympus, Sigma, or Panasonic. It's a bit like choosing a new lover really (is the girl friend trying to tell you something?).
