Does anyone have experience with both these products?
I use Elements 9 but have considered changing to Lightroom 3.
Any thoughts on this matter.

I shoot a Canon 60D, but you might want to consider the new Nikon 800 coming out in March of this year. Here is the link how I found out.

iresq says "You may also want to consider the canon loyalty program, if you have or have access to a broken canon."

I'm interested in the "Canon Loyalty Program. What is it?

Thank you for that Erv!
I'm not a pro but never-the-less I'm aiming to be as good as a pro. I'll probably never want the to work that the pro's have to do. But I'm just a guy that has an ambition to learn as much and try as hard as I can to learn to take "Great" photographys. I have no ambition to sell or market my products.
Also don't want to spend my money and get less product if I can wait to save more to purchase a better product that will "help" me a better photographer.

You all make very good points. Your comments really make me stop and try to reason out 1st why I purchase the Canon 60D and why I didn't purchase a full sensor camera. As a newbie, I did not consider all the ramifications of my purchase. As to the lens that I've broken....I will have to think about it longer and make no sudden choices. You've all given me some great help.
(This is a great forum) Thanks for your thoughts.

Need Advice!!! I have a lens (Canon 28-135 Macro) that when I fell hit the ground won’t zoom. I had this on my old Canon A2e Film camera that I haven’t used in about 15 years, but fits onto my new Canon’s 60D.
When I purchased the Canon 60D, the sales persons told me that the lenses they produce now are different now because of DSLR’s. I took his advice and purchase the 16-135 lens but had put the 28-135Macro on my 60D when I fell. The camera is still great shape but not that lens.
Is this true? Are the lenses for DSLR’s different now and more suited for DSLR's? Canon is still selling the 28-135 Macro lens.
I had it appraised to have it fixed for a general cost of from $175-230.
Is it worth the fix?

I love it! Great Job!

VHD-Tex- What two batteries? I guess there is a choice but, I have the Canon 60D also and I have the BATTERY PAC LP-E6 and I recommend this. Never had a problem and have re-charged this for over a year and it's working great! But I have to admit, I also have a backup battery as well.

Love your pics! Been there and loved it!!!

I use Pinnacle Studio version 15 and love it!!! I often put together pictures with transions, music and sometimes text on the pictures along with Chapters. If it's a long presentation, like I've done a few times, it's a great idea to chapter them so that from the first frame to can select which chapter you might want to repeat or show.

I Love it!!!

I've been to the 911 Memorial this past October and I haven't seen any signs that indicate that. If they have posted anything after October 2011 then I don't know about that. In fact I've taken these pictures and have posted one earlier when I joined this site. Here are a couple more.
