If you are looking at SLR digital, look and see what the crop factor is - sometime they will call it the multiplier factor. If there isn't one, then it is a full size sensor. If it says something like 1.6x , then you know you have a smaller sensor. Only the most expensive SLR cameras are full frame. For Canon right now, that means the 5D Mark II and the 1Ds Mark III. If you have questions about a particular camera Betty, let me know. Thanks, Ron Hi Betty,

I don't remember ever seeing that information on any literauture. Probabaly because its out of my price range, but how do you know when looking at cameras???

I have a question, though I don't know all of the right terminology to ask it properly. I am wondering if you can talk about what settings you use for focusing (i.e. only manual, back button, etc.) and why. This is great–I love reading pros’ answers to photography questions!

I will be heading up to AK this summer for a project I'm working on in the Prince William Sound. I will be kayaking around the sound for 2 months shooting photos and I was wondering if you a good system for camera storage on a sea kayak. I have tried storing my system on a deck bag as well as in a dry bag in my cockpit and have never felt that comfotable with either system. I need to have quick access to my gear without it getting in my way, any ideas? Thanks so much, Ryan Bonneau. Ron,

Thanks for providing lots of great inspiring photos and helpful information. My wife and I live in Anchorage, and we try and get away for a little sunshine during the winter. This winter was the eastern Caribbean, and next year we are thinking about Costa Rica. Your photos are fantastic, and was wondering if you could recommend a general area in Costa Rica for photography. We would probably spend 10-14 days there. Thanks! Hello Ron:

So here's a question I forgot to ask on the interview you did on my other blog - Say if you are going camping in some remote place in Alaska for a week or two with no electricity, how you would make sure you have enough power for your cameras and file storage? The dilemma I'm thinking is that lith-ion batteries can really start to add a lot of weight and don't really last that long anyway in cold conditions. The camera batteries of course have their own special charger which would be useless w/o a place to plug in. Hey Ron. So here’s a question I forgot to ask on the interview you did on my other blog -
