Canon Error 99: Signs and Solutions
There are many situations that can trigger a Cannon error 99 message. The key to fixing it lies in pinpointing the problem. In many cases, a Canon error 99 is something you can fix for yourself. However, depending on the model of Canon you own, it could also be a hardware error, in which you'll need to have it serviced or replaced. Regardless of the cause, you should be able to fix the error and get back to snapping quality photos. Here are a few troubleshooting suggestions to consider.
What many new photographers don't realize about the Canon error 99 is that it doesn't specify a specific problem. Rather, its presence indicates that there is simply something wrong with your camera. In some cases, the solution to your problem is as basic as turning your camera off, waiting a few seconds, then turning it on again. If this doesn't work, the next step in identifying the cause of the error is to perform basic maintenance on your camera. It may sound obvious, but you would be surprised at how many problems can be solved simply by changing your batteries or upgrading your firmware. In other cases, the Canon error 99 may be due to a problem with the software. A classic example would be using a memory card that is in some way corrupt or damaged.
If you find that these simple procedures don't solve your problem, it's time to take a good look at your lens. In many cases, a Canon error 99 occurs when the lens is somehow disconnected from the body, either through being too loose or having a thin film of dust. If adjusting the lens or cleaning it doesn't make the error go away, it may be time to replace your lens or send it a repair shop for servicing. Keep in mind that if using a soft cloth on your lens doesn't seem to get the job done, try using a pencil eraser. You would be surprised at how efficient it is for picking up trace amounts of grit. Just be sure to keep your camera pointed downward to prevent eraser dust from slipping inside the camera.
Are you using an older camera model? If so, the cause of your Canon error 99 may very well be due to the hardware. Older models have been proven to contain metals that can actually damage your camera as it gets older. Gold, for example, is a soft metal that is prone to wearing down or scratching. This allows minute amounts of dust and other contaminants to build up inside the camera. If you find that none of the aforementioned methods work in making the Canon error 99 go away, you may need to replace your camera with something a bit more recent.
These are only a few things to consider when troubleshooting a Canon error 99. While treating this particular problem may seem frustrating, you'll be able to save yourself a lot of stress and effort simply by narrowing down your causes in this manner.

Turning Edges on Cases with a Crevice
When you have a LOT of edge turning to do, it's best to attach the boards to the cloth first and then turn the edges as a separate operation. The boards have been attached in this demonstration of a device I invented a number of years ago to handle multiples and difficult materials that were tough on my hands. Making cases like this can take 7-10 minutes each. Using this device cuts the turning time down to less than 2 minutes per case, attaching the boards was about 30 seconds; you can see the advantage to dividing this task into two steps. I finished 170 cases in a day and a half. This is the first video taken with a new camera that has a wider angle lens.

Unsure About What Lens to Get for the Nikon D5000? Some Options
If you've bought (or are planning to buy) the Nikon D5000, you will love the range of features and quality it delivers. It's a great camera and it really impressed me when I first tested it, especially considering that it is supposed to be an amateur's camera.
Is there a lens which best suits the D5000?
You won't get to exploit your camera's capabilities unless you use a proper lens. But it can be hard to figure out which lens is right for you. There are just so many options out there.
Before we look at specific options, a note on DX lenses.
The Nikon D5000's sensor is of the "DX" variety. All this means is that the sensor is smaller than those found in 35 mm film cameras. Why does this matter?
Lenses with "DX" in the their name have been designed and optimised specifically for the smaller, DX sensor.
Traditional lenses (not the DX kind) are designed for a larger, traditional 35mm frame. Even so, you can still use them with the D5000, but since they were built for a larger sensor, you'll get an automatic "crop factor" because the projected image will exceed the sensor size. This means you will effectively be able to zoom in closer, but the price you pay is that you won't benefit from the lens's widest angle. As a rule of thumb, the crop factor is about 1.5, so your non-DX 10-20mm lens will respond like a 15-30mm lens when you use it on the D5000
Which manufacturer?
Nikon's own lenses are called "Nikkor". Unless you're on a tight budget, you should use them. It's true that you'll find less costly Nikon-compatible alternatives made by other manufacturers, but they don't beat the quality you'll get from a Nikkor lens.
To ensure compatibility with the Nikon D5000, look for AF-S and AF-I type lenses. The trick is to make sure that AF-S or AF-I is written in the name of the lens.
Best lens for the Nikon D5000 - My list
When it comes to lenses, there isn't a single answer to the "best lens" question. It depends on what you intend to photograph, so here is a list of options tailored to different kinds of photography
A. Street and travel photography
A good travel- and street photography lens needs to be flexible. Speed is of the essence, since you won't have a lot of time to fiddle with the camera to change lenses, so you're looking for a lens with a nice zoom:
AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR - conventional wisdom says that "kit" lenses sold with the camera body aren't necessarily the best, but this D5000 kit lens is surprisingly decent. And it has automatic image stabilisation or "vibration reduction" (VR in Nikon speak) built in.
AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II - this is a wonderful traveller's lens. It has an incredible zoom range that will eliminate the need for changing lenses when you're doing street photography. As with any zoom lens, the quality when shooting extremely wide or extremely close will never compare to that delivered by a fixed, prime lens, but everything has a price, and in this case it's the price you pay for being able to use just the one lens and carry around very little gear. And you shouldn't underestimate the benefit of having a light, flexile setup when taking street photos: Not only will your back be thankful, but you will also be less noticeable and able to take better candid photos if you're not carrying around a giant bag with loads of lenses and gear.
B. Portraits:
AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G - This is a fast lens that will enable you to take portraits using available light. The wide maximum aperture also provides a nice shallow depth of field.. And you will be amazed by the quality delivered by this prime lens.
C. Landscapes and cityscapes:
AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED - the big advantage here is the wide-angle zoom, allowing you to capture big scenes.
D. Sports & Wildlife:
AF-S DX NIKKOR 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR - use this lens in situations where it is important to get in close without disturbing your subject. the maximum 300mm telephoto zoom, coupled with the anti-blur VR function will help you get tack-sharp images.
These are not the only lenses compatible with the D5000, but I feel they're the most suitable given the physical dimensions and price of the camera. You can always sell your old lenses on e-Bay and upgrade as you invest in more expensive camera bodies. Use what's right, for right now!

Choosing a Camera - Point and Shoot or Single Lens Reflex
At some point and time, all those who take pictures or are interested in starting to take pictures will need to decide which type camera they should use. There is no clear cut answer because it all depends on what you are planning to do with your camera. There are basically two types of cameras that the average consumer (non- professionals) can choose from. They are the Point and Shoot type, and the Single Lens Reflex type. In this article I am only addressing digital cameras for both types, since for most purposes, film cameras are dead. I will briefly list some characteristics of both type cameras and hopefully you can decide which is best for you.
First lets look at Point and Shoot cameras. They are the most cost effective. Digital Single Lens Reflex cameras cost a lot more. Point and Shoot cameras are also more convenient to use. Most are small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. Just turn them on and start shooting. They have permanent fixed lenses built into the camera. You wont be able to zoom in and out beyond the capacity of your camera. (but the range on most of them is fine for most casual users). Generally, they come in the JPEG format which compresses the images you take so that you will have more space in your memory card to take and display more pictures. Although the quality is not the same when a photo is compressed, most casual photographers and viewers wont even notice the difference.
Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras. As I mentioned earlier, they are more costly than point and shoot cameras. They can also take pictures in the JPEG format, but the big difference is they can also take pictures in the RAW format which is not compressed. This will give a much better quality image for those who are really particular about it. Single Lens Reflex cameras can also use interchangeable lenses for various purposes. Meaning you can put on a very wide angle lens and then put on an extreme telephoto lens.
In both cases they will outdo what the point and shoot will do. You also have the option of manual focusing, the ability to use filters and also use a flash that is not built into the camera so that you may improvise with lighting. There are a lot of other things it can do, but it would be too technical to list here in a short article.
So, if you just want to take pictures at the kids birthday party or on holidays, a Point and Shoot camera will more than fulfill your needs. But if you are interested in higher quality images, the ability to control lighting and other factors that go into creating an image, a Digital Single Lens Reflex camera might be better for you.
