The 270EX is a nice portable flash that is useful even if you have the other flash units.  I have seven Canon flashes including a set of 600EX-RT's and still find the 270EX a nice portable unit...

I don't think it will work because there are no drivers on the camera to route the audio to the USB port.  Your best audio approach is to have a high quality external digital audio recorder and...

A few thoughts.  The G1X is a much nicer camera than the G15 and has much better image quality.  It would makes sense if you like it to buy the G1X and sell the G15. Colors on the NEX 5 are...

+1 ... I also own the 270EX and it is a nice match. I also use a Joe Demb flash modifier with it to reflect a small amount of fill flash forward in bounce mode. The flash and the modifier will give...

Even f/2.8 lenses can beat m43 in terms of bokeh.  Canon understands this and that is why their first enthusiast lens (EF-M 22mm) was an f/2.    f/1.2 are specialty lenses and will not be developed...

You are not using the 5D3 correctly.  Look in the 5D3 manual under AF, you will find a section that talks about what AF points can be used with each class of lens.  The 35 1.4 is in a class that...

There are not going to be any native EF-M lenses with an aperture like 1.2 or 1.4 anytime soon.  But, you can use the adapter to use EF lenses.  Just look at current EF-S lenses to get an idea of...

ZoomBrowser EX will show you where the focus box was when you took the shot.  Not as useful as AF point on a DSLR, but it is the only place to find this info if you ever need it.

Check the switch on the 17-85 to make sure it is not in manual focus mode. Then clean the contacts on the lens. Inspect and clean the contacts on the adapter.  When you mount the lens make sure it...

Are you saying that with the mode dial at the top in one of the two stills positions, that your M won't just shoot normally with the 18-55 now? I haven't been using ML, but can't you just put...

No, not really. I accidentally (vendor showed the Canon OEM hood in picture) bought one of the knock offs on eBay and hated it. Fit was to snug and finish while close was not as nice; plus it has...

Here is a review that I found helpful. http://www.photozone.de/canon-eos/776-canon_18135_3556stmis

I have the 18-55 Canon OEM hood and purchased it directly from Canon.  The interior surface is just plastic with a fine matte surface.

When I bought the M, I owned a 5DIII and 7D.  But, I have since given the 7D to my daughter along with a 17-55 2.8 and 10-22.

Pretty amazing score on the 22mm when you compare it to all the lenses on a 7D. Here are the 7D lenses for comparision ... you may need to select the 7D from the camera...

They did the 11-22 and the 18-55. Here is the 11-22: http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Reviews/Canon-EF-M-11-22mm-f4-5.6-IS-STM-lens-review-good-all-round-performer

I've put the brightness setting on my list of commands on my custom menu tab.  When I am in sunlight, I turn brightness all the way up.  It helps a lot. Also, there is a custom setting to...

You can download the lens manual for the 22mm from the Canon web site. It is only two pages long, but in there they caution about putting an weight on the lens. I can't remember the exact wording,...

You need to search the web and find an introduction to Canon flash photography. The flash will operate differently in each of those modes. Knowing how the flash will operate in each mode will give...

Just remember that the AF motor is moving the entire lens barrel assembly.  In the lens manual that comes with the 22mm, it warns against adding a lot of weight on the lens. I have the OEM hood, it...
