canon digital camera on amazon image
Ryan
I have a sony a55 and I've been looking on amazon trying to get a 75-300 or something-300mm lens for my camera and a lot of them say for sony, nikon or canon digital camera or something like that. I want to be sure it works on mine though so how can I be 100% sure that they will fit mine?
Answer
Check that it supports the Sony A mount. It tends to say something like "Tamron 70-300mm for Sony"
The Tammy 70-300mm is by the way a decent lens for a low low price.
Your A55 has the a mount, aka the modern old minolta mount and will accept old minolta glass auto focus glass and Sony lenses. But also Sigma, Tamron and other brands lenses as long as they are...you guessed it A-mount. Made for use on the Sony!
Make sure you buy a lens with the right mount and it should work just fine. Now there is on caveat, there are allot of older manual focus lenses out of the film age. And there are adapters you can screw on them to allow you to use these older lenses with modern cameras.
Sometimes you find one of these oldies sold like a "panagor 135mm F2,8 for Sony" means that its a M42 or another mount lens with an adapter on it for Sony.
Now using old glass is fun but without AF so it is something you have to decide if you like it.

Why can some sites sell Digital cameras so cheap?

I am looking for a canon Digital camera, when I google it I can a huge variety of sites selling the camera for as much as a 1000 dollar difference? Are the camera's all the same quality?

A lot of those too-cheap-to-be-true places, like broadwayphoto, are scam artists. Here are two sites to do quick background checks on stores with unbelievably low prices:
