This lens really is worth its price. It delivers excellent images, with solid IS performance, and very, very sharp images across the entire frame. It is great for general-purpose walk around use...

Guys, what's with ALL of the headline apps being iPhone apps? The article starts out mentioning Android, then goes on to pretty much be an Apple love-fest.

To make matters worse, the Android apps...

For something similar, try Transcend cards on Amazon.

Any update? Just curious...

Interesting comment here - I have not noticed any zoom creep at all with my 17-55. It has been my "95% mounted" lens for the last 3+ years. In fact, I think the zoom ring is a bit too firm on...

Wow, I can honestly say I've never seen anything like *that* before.

Being paranoid as I am, I'd have a vacuum cleaner hose sitting next to the lens as I did this, to catch all the shredded bits.

Not sure what the reality is, but on Canon's website a few weeks ago, the 17-55 showed up as "no longer serviceable" which I'm thinking had to be a mistake. Have you called Canon yet to get a...

Interesting point here. I've read several references here from people with both lenses that disabling IS on the 100-400 will dramatically increase AF speed/quality and put it on par with the 400...

Agreed on both counts, and I am also among those who thinks the 17-55 missed the L treatment due to its targeting of the EF-S format. Were it full-frame, it would have gotten the build quality...

Very clever layout!... I really like the image. How much time was put into the image stitching to make it that seamless?

I'll ditto Marc's comments. I have had this lens all through the summer and do almost all of my work with handheld shots, zoomed all the way to 400mm. I set my camera to M, lock the shutter at...

So a quick thought for other n00bs or recovering n00bs like myself. ;) Hopefully, the die-hards on here do not flame me to oblivion for what seems obvious to them... I have owned several Canon...

Yup, you're correct. The typical reactionary mess about "filters are evil" does not take into account the intended use of the filter. Quality filters are a must if you choose to use them. I...

Not that I'm aware of, sorry. One other option though, would be to set the AF-ON button to act as AF STOP, which will allow you to lock focus as long as you are holding it. When you release,...

Uhhh... I may just be stupid, but what 100mm L II are you referring to? I don't see it on Canon's lens chart. Were you referring to the 100mm L Macro lens? if so, I've used one successfully...

Your camera's LCD screen will show you the # of shots remaining that will fit on the card. Start with a blank card, switch settings, and look at the number. As to quality, you will have less...

Probability theory for the win!

So, there are 3 factors, as has been amply pointed out by my esteemed colleagues. I will suggest another approach for learning: "the scientific method" (or in other words, fix all the factors but...

Valid point, but of course, as with all features, it would be something you could turn off, thus those of us that would love to have it would have the option, and those that didn't, just flick the...
