Surely that has to be an HDR image. But, I agree - it looks like an oil painting - like NR or JPEG quality has gone crazy.

The image is a bit noisy, but what can you expect from a sharpened JPEG? Actually, what I am most interested in is the quality of the noise, which I see as excellent. There is no obvious...

There is a good point in the comments section: David says: "While I enjoyed much of this article, the discussion of pixel size and noise (high ISO performance) is confused and perpetuates...

I get the feeling that Canon has essentially lost an entire year of product development with the natural disasters, and with perceived lack of competition. I am not expecting the 5DIII to have...

Do you know the heavy staircaising artifacts in the skylights (on the original photo)? Given that the light is overexposed, this is hard to eliminate. I guess it could happen even on a Canon...

Incredible photos! Thanks.

Would you be able to post the Raw file somewhere? This is something I really have to see for myself. It would be nice to rule out some weird error in your Raw conversion.

Ouch on the corner smearing at 36mm!

I couldn't find this thread, so I posted some to the wildlife thread. Here is one of my favorites, from a butterfly conservatory yesterday. dpr://galleries/3102436946/photos/1676542 More...

This particular photo shows the lines all going in one direction. This cannot be a standard "outlining" bokeh issue. This same problem was posted a number of months ago, and it turned out to be...

Pictures taken at a butterfly conservatory today. I don't see a macro thread, and this is wildlife ...? Canon 7D on manual, Canon 100 f/2.8L IS Macro, 580 EXII flash with Rogue Flash Bender...

The banding is there in the shadows on RAW on my 7D, and even sometimes in bokeh areas. However, it is usually faint, and usually doesn't survive noise-reduction. So, while there is banding, it...

I am contemplating the same thing. I went into a store, and took some shots with both, on my memory card. I took them home, processed them, and compared. In all cases, the 5Dii combo gave a...

Since this lens used to work, I doubt it is a bad lens. It is almost certainly a focus issue. Take some shots with the bear sitting on carpet, and take the photo at an angle, so you can see what...

If you go Hoya, don't go for less than the Pro-1 Digital. I have one on my EF-S 15-85, and it's fine. I just got an "HD" filter for my 70-200, and seems even better quality. I would either use...

Is this a real question, or a troll? Does the EOS crop-sensor lineup show up the imperfections in all the Canon lenses? They have a higher pixel density than a 30 MP full-frame sensor.

Code: EMBL1130CA58 At B&H gives you a Canon speedlight 580EX II for $399.
