They are different filters. ND just reduces the light on the sensor. A polarizer reduces the glare and as such brings out colours. A polarizer at 90 degrees to the sun will make the sky much more bluer. A ND will have no effect.

There is software from Stardock.com called "Start8" that will boot your computer to a Win7 desktop that looks just like Windows 7. Cost is $4.99

I have a HP 2000 laptop that I've had about a year and I'm

really happy with it, but I just can't get use to the mouse

pad. I bought an external mouse and it's so herky jerky

that it's very hard to use.

Is there a brand of external mouse that you good folks

here on UHH would recommend?

Thanks a lot.

Logitech M325, small, made for using with laptop. About $20 at Staples

I take it you've essentially filled the hard drive with photos. It might be less of an expense to purchase an external HD, copy the existing photos to that, verify that they are there, then delete them from the existing internal HD. The expense will be quite a bit less.

What about a bridge camera, the Panasonic FZ200, or the Canon SX-50?

Don't you think this has gone far enough with all the snide remarks. It was not my intention when I asked the question about lens hoods. I simply wanted information, not a bunch of name calling!!!

Ken Rockwell is not a credible authority.
He is a marketing gimmick who knows a bit about photography and some of his reviews are on items that he has not even had in his hand.
Some of his stuff is the best advice that I have seen on a particular subject, and some of it is complete claptrap.
I have no problem whatsoever on disagreeing with much of Kens opinion.
Ken is not the final word on any subject.
I have not seen him say it, but if his advice is that hoods are not a help photographically, then that piece of advice falls in the "claptrap" category.
I am guessing, but also quite sure, that you will be able to find somewhere on his site, where he tells you to use a hood.

Thanks for all the advice, I ordered the Canon hood from B&H, it's a new hood for the 10-18mm, was $27.95 on back order. Supposed to be in stock 7/21/14.

With wideangles I would go with the recommended Canon model.
The one recommended for this lens is EW-73C


Thanks lighthouse, I was fairly certain that's what you meant.

The correct lens hood will not interfere with your field of view.
An incorrect one will though.
Because of the large field of view it is very hard for a lens hood to cut out all the extraneous light, I use a broad brimmed hat as well for many wideangle shots that I take.


Does "the correct lens hood" mean a Canon hood, or is there some other brand that will work also?

Considering getting the Canon 10-18mm ultra wide angle lens and wondering how important a lens hood is for this type of lens? Would it interfere with the field of view at all?

It is true that Apple is doing away with Aperture, but not for another year. It will be replaced with Photos. Nobody know what Photos will have or not have. Apple is working with Adobe to come up with a way to transfer your photos to Lightroom without losing any adjustments that have been made. Right now you can only transfer the original and will lose adjustments.
I would suggest that if you have a free Aperture app that you use it until Photos comes out next year and see if Photos meets your needs. If it doesn't, you can switch to Lightroom then. No need to rush into Lightroom right now.
I have been using Aperture for years. It is easy to use, non-destructive and intuitive.
