If it can take that severe a crash and Keep on Tickin' it's a lot more robust than I anticipated.

One of my problems was apparently temporary:  the 'File is corrupted' files can now be viewed normally. And re the focussing - I've sent the jury back to reconsider this.

I did not think it necessary to invite comments, relevant experiences etc, just assumed that anyone with something relevant to say would say it (which in fact is what happened). 3 follow-up...

I upgraded from 5D to 5D Mark II about February, was too busy to do much with it until a few weeks ago. Then while half a world away from home, and changing lenses, I dropped it about 4 or 5 inches...

OK, thanks for clarifying that.

Which is the "5Dc"? I'll be meeting with a local 5D II friend this afternoon. He's had his since they arrived and is excellent technically & artistically. We'll explore some of the options...

You say leave +1/3 or 2/3 EC on , that seems to be the opposite of what's needed & others suggest.

Recently upgrade from 5D Original. Surprised to see many bright clouds over-exposed, by 1 to 2 stops, according to in-camera histogram. Don't recall that often with 5D Original. Did most of the...

here in the Great White North our CRTC org told us how the upcoming Do Not Call list would greatly reduce annoyance calls. Then invited us to sign up for DNC. When they had amassed a significant...

Nice one, Malch. (can't edit my earlier post so adding info here) I have one that I've never been completely satisfied...

I think it's not specific to Photomatix, though they make it too easy to do. I call it the "HDR (Overdone)" look. Imho, if you can see an effect (almost any effect) has been used, then it's been...

I suggest you look carefully at which type of inks to use with them. Dyes filter some colours out of transmitted light, pigments reflect some colours and absorb others. So I expect to find that...

Thanks to all for info & suggestions. I'll look into Live View next - never tried that before.

I used a 5D (original) for years, but was frequently bothered by not being able to see the exposure etc info in the strip below the image in the viewfinder - on bright days it was not bright enough...

There is too much HATE in the world already - I don't favour adding more unless it's about something that is really of great consequence. I suggest you try Disliking - it may improve your day and...

I suspect that the problem is ignorance, rather than stupidity. Fortunately, ignorance is fixable (though not always simply).

Please don't quote the whole original text just to add your 2 lines.

Because the Marketers were selling MegaPixels, and in most companies they called the shots.

I read this somewhere recently but not tried it for real yet -stretch the person height-wise:  In Photoshop, Image | Image sizeConstrain proportions NOT checked,Document size - Height 110 (0r 115)...

I've had two 2.5" (notebook) external drives that came with a cable having two USB plugs, because one USB port could not provide sufficient power. This was several years ago. I don't know if the...
