I have to completely agree. I bought mine in Sept and though of it mostly as a photo printer only. However, I have started to print large star charts and lots of other things that really don't...

I use my 10-22 to shoot real estate interrior rooms. You can put the camera in a corner and click. At 11 mm, you shoot down both side walls, so the client can see that the whole room was...

These two seeming nearly identical lenses are in reality quite different. In general, if you are looking for optical speed or close focusing, the 24-170 is the ticket. But do consider the 17-55...

EC controls how long the shutter stays open. FEC controls how long the flash stays on. Yes, to the limits of the flash brightness. It should not be. -- Mitch

You didn't state what computer or OS. Did you try going to Canon USA and looking to see what drivers and other stuff are appropriate (and available) for your computer and OS? -- Mitch

Actually, the data is present, just at the wrong spot and DPP is to lasy to look at the other place in metadata this info can be. If you puruse the metadata, you can see the camera, the lens, the...

The effect is known as "Shearing of the aperture" in optical books. -- Mitch

I have a 24-70 on my 20D for 6-ish years. It was followed by the 10-22 UWA when it came out. For me and my uses, the 24-70 is better than the 24-105 IS (better apeture blades and faster optics)....

There are some people who CAN take care of equiptment. These are the very same people who sell a 13 year old lens without blemishes on the optics or mechanicals. These kinds of people can deal with...

The 5D with the 50 F/1.4 would have a shallower DoF than the 7D with 30 F/1.4 (by exactly the crop factor). The reason: The 50mm has more magnification (larger image scale) than the 30mm and...

The 24-70 (and 16-35) came out just before the IS revolution took place. They will live through their typical life cycle and be replaced wiht IS versions. When? Only Canon knows. -- Mitch

Agreed, somewhere in the $3 to $5 per 8.5*11 covers the paper and ink costs, the former closer to costs, the later covers some overheads. Most photogs charge about $10 to cover everything...

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0903/09032501canonpixmapro9000.asp Indicates faster printing and some more driver features. TomsHardware did a comparison and found very slight printing...

From memory: At 24mm FL, a 30 second exposure of the equator (fastest moving part of the sky) a star will be smeared over 3 pixels. I got constellation sized images of the night sky that were...

The lens provides two things: a) a focal length, and b) an aperture. The focal length defines the scale of the image The focal length AND the size of the sensor determine the apparent field of...

Basically, you cannot make a mistake when buying into either the Canono or Nikon systems. Both are fabulous lines of cameras backed by extensive lenses and assessories. Canon is ahead in certain...

short form: Yes, indubitably. Long form: It is arguably the sharpest moderate range zoom wiht F/2.8 aperture for any cropped camera. 'twer it me, I would not. But its not me, its...

My advice is to get a 10-22 for when you want nose-bleed wide angles and leave the 24-70 on the camera when you are doing more normal shooting. -- Mitch

Image Quality on the 17-55 is better than 15-85 is better than 17-85. 17-55 is arguably the best zoom from a cropped camera 15-85 is arguably the best 6X zoom for a cropped camera 17-85 used...

OK About what? Build quality on the 24-70 is way above that on the 24-105 Image quality is basically on par. For the kind of photographer I am, the 24-70 is the better choice. But I freely...
