1 and 2 sound like you've set the focus limit switch to other than FULL. If your subject is not within the focus limit range, then it won't AF. E.g. focus limit set to .52m-infinity but your...

Yes, for relatively short hoods, e.g. 50, 15-85 Yes, for long hoods that aren't too wide, e.g. 70-200/2.8 Yes, for wide short hoods e.g. 10-22. -- Unapologetic Canon Apologist ;)

This is typically the result of inadvertently locking the wheel, as described on p. 42 of the 60D manual. -- Unapologetic Canon Apologist ;)

Sorry, I don't have it. But curious why it has to be 1.0.4 instead of the current 1.0.5? -- Unapologetic Canon Apologist ;)

It's in EOS Utilities for EOS cameras. Don't know about the G12, maybe ask on the Canon Talk forum. http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1010 -- Unapologetic Canon Apologist ;)

The 1100D does not have that option in the Movie menu. -- Unapologetic Canon Apologist ;)

I haven't had a bubble in glass. Have read they're not uncommon and usually inconsequential, but if large I can see where you wouldn't accept it. Good luck on the replacement. ...

What was wrong? I bought a refurb 15-85 from Canon USA a couple weeks ago and couldn't be happier with it. Sorry your experience was not the same. -- Unapologetic Canon Apologist ;)

What firmware version is loaded? There was an early update (1.03) to fix an Err 99 condition, current/latest/last firmware version is...

Same length as the 24-105L, but smaller diameter, and modest appearance. Much less pro-looking. Costs the same as a good TC, and by many accounts is as sharp or better than the 70-300 IS. See...

What do you mean by "fails to fire completely"? - Does it freeze with an Err xx code in the display? - Does it attempt AF (lens focus elements move) but the shutter won't release? This will...

:D 7D is one hell of a machine. -- Unapologetic Canon Apologist ;)

Virtually the same choice. f/2.8 v greater range. ;) -- Unapologetic Canon Apologist ;)

I was going to suggest that you get your home insurance from another company, but your last statement makes it sound like that isn't an option. I'm not familiar with Florida insurance market. Is...

Expanding on my earlier mention of the EF 50 f/1.8 (original mk I). Available on used market (discontinued in 1991), it usually sells for more than a new mk II. This lens is optically very good...

:D "This time we mean it!" ;) I can't speak to Hoya's HMC, SHMC, Ultra, or Pro1 Digital lines. But I just bought a Hoya HD circ. pol. Couldn't be happier, and it does clean easily w/o...

The AF system of the EF 50 f/1.4 USM is not as robust as one would hope. It focuses by extending the inner barrel. Incidental blows/bumps to the front of the lens can damage the AF cam and...

There's the focus confirmation light, green dot in the lower-right of the viewfinder. In One Shot and AI Focus it lights when focus is acheived/confirmed even if the beeper is turned off. ...

Additionally, the "import" lenses are not eligible for Canon USA rebates. There are cases where the import is actually more expensive than the USA warranty lens. Like right now, the EF 100-400...
