As others have noted, if you have access to the court (i.e. front row for most high school, media pass for larger venues) you cannot beat the 7D and 85 f/1.8 combination. Volleyball is a fast...

Very similar gear and approach. 7D & 17-55 f/2.8 IS and the S95. In fact, if I had to take one or the other, it would be the S95, shooting RAW.When I visited family in San Diego, rather than bring...

Thank you, Henry. Ironically, my review just appeared with a January 19 date, so it does seem to take a while to surface. I have to admit, I'm envious of all those 5 star users raving about the 5D...

I also am a loyal B&H customer, having dropped more than $10k into your till. But I have a question about product reviews. I recently wrote a review of the 5D MK III, giving it 1 star as the worst...

Like almost everyone else here, B&H is my first source for everything. Went through my B&H receipts the other day and I am now an unofficial member of their $10,000 club! :-)However, I am now...

I got what I expected, and mostly what I deserved, for complaining about spending $3,500 on a new 5D MK III that lasted less than 100 clicks. Turns out I'm not alone after all, having done some...

True, I'd rather be doing something else, like actually using a new 5D MK III, instead of waiting for an RFA from B&H, packing everything back into its original boxes, going to the UPS store,...

I've never had a problem with B&H, but I also have never had to return anything to them, either. That includes a 40D, 7D, 17-55 f/2.8IS, 70-200 f/4L IS, 70-200 f/2.8L IS II, 85 f/1.8 USM, 50 f/1.4...

I did. I bought a brand new 5D MK III.

B&H 30-day return policy says in the fine print, "Items with shutter counters must show less than 200 exposures." Yikes! I was almost half-way there when the $3,000 black brick croaked.As a...

Shooting Canon digital since 2003 and finally took the FF plunge on the 5D MK III / 24-105 f/4L kit from B&H for $3,499 (including Sandisk 16GB UDMA card and extra battery). Deal sounded too good...

Sorry if this has been discussed; I couldn't find such a new thread. With the soon release of the 24-70 f/4L IS, many Canon shooters will have to decide between the non stabilized f/2.8 or the...

I've used the 85mm f/1.8 on a 7D (and before that 40D) for indoor high school basketball and volleyball with great success. I'm very picky when it comes to my sports shots. First rule is that if...

This was my self-conversation two years ago. Loved the 40D, but had no intention of following the XXD series once the 7D released. Now have the 7D with a Canon BG-E7 grip as my primary body....

I realize this is heading in the wrong direction since 50mm is consider too long for the OP; but, my second prime purchase for the 40D/7D after the 50mm f/1.4 was the 85mm f/1.8.Equivalent to a...

One nice goodie in the 7D is the dual axis electronic level. Has anyone else compared the internal electronic level to a bubble level in the shoe mount for accuracy? The bubble level is pretty easy...

Hard to argue with the many suggestions here. The consensus seems to be the 17-50 is not going to be the portrait lens, so what to do? I have the 70-200 f/4L IS and it is my favorite lens for its...

Great question. To find out, I used LR4 to quickly report EXIF data my 75k library by lens type and the result was the majority were taken with the 70-200 f/4L IS, followed closely by the 85 f/1.8...

Costco.com also has a 7D bundle that includes 7D body, 25-135 lens, 320EX flash, Canon bag, 8GB card, etc for $1,799 through October 27....

No offense, but that would be quite the feat since the 7D has a single CF slot and the 6D a single SD ...
