I know it sounds unreasonable but such an improvement would allow slower and therefore less expensive lens to be used in many situations that currently are best served with much faster and much...

Please, if you wish, let us know what his decision was and if possible, his rationalization.

...snip... Your problem description is interesting and I'm curious to learn more about it. Q: what brand and model of flash unit is this? Q: what settings are required on the flash unit for...

Its really too bad the democratic society of America has devolved into such a chaotic state. I guess we're all having a front row seat observing the fall of a great empire. My empathy goes out to...

Its usually not too much of a hassle. If your soundman is any good, he will have all the right answers and knows how to properly interface with an unbalanced stereo microphone level input on mini...

Can I use a bias frame with DPP and if so, how is that done? Does this remove all the noise on my 7D?

-Most mixers don't send any signal at microphone levels and would require a pad to drop down the line-level signal levels to that acceptable for the 7D microphone in jack. If you're handy with a...

Nice user review and comparison with little bias. I'm sure many on this forum have seen references to the K5ii and wondered how it would compare to their favorite Canon camera, like myself. You...

No matter how much we may try to resist this, sooner or later we will be assimilated into "the cloud".

How nice! Just to be clear, did the software come with an activation code (no strings attached)?

The live touch screen is such an advance over peering through the viewfinder when framing a shot in situations where getting the eyeball to the viewfinder is difficult or impossible. It's hard to...

Using a camera in minus 30 temperatures can be a problem.  Canon and Nikon only rate their cameras to operate down to the water freezing point. As others have pointed out, the battery will be an...

When I shoot HDR with the 5D Mk III, the camera automatically shoots three exposures and then creates the JPEG which is the sequential number after the previous three RAW which the camera used to...

That's really bad. A friend owns a Sigma 500/4.5 and it is nothing like this. Its quite sharp corner to corner. I'd include a sample but he's away and I would need his permission.

The mind loved the addiction and will gently whisper to you that you can have just the one smoke. Giving in for the one, even if you then abstain for a day, a week, a month, it will continue to...

So very true. "I quit smoking....several times!"  I still very strongly at times crave a cigarette, having quit eight years ago.  The mind loved the addiction and will whisper that to you "...just...

You need to figure out how to test out the products without having to pay for them. Otherwise, you are going to take a quick trip to the poor-house unless you have a rich uncle willing to dote...

Happy you quit. It's simply one minute, one hour, one day, one month, one year at a time without ever having a cigarette. The real test is never giving in to just one puff. Too bad it has taken...

Without a better sensor, there isn't much incentive8 to upgrade

I'm sure you've read the many wishlists for the 7DII. At the minimum, one would expect some improvement with; - high ISO noise (what ISO 400 is on 7D at ISO 3200 on 7dII) - better, more accurate...
