Maybe I’m just imagining it, but it seems to me as though, until yesterday, Canon had described the update as providing AF at F8 for “center cross-type AF points”.  Notice the pleural... I was...

Or do you need to download and install each one separately?

I mean storing the camera upside down, as in the tripod mount facing the sky and the mode dial facing the ground.

I realize it’s a bizarre question, but I’m wondering if there is some expectation from Canon (or Nikon, for that matter) that DSLR cameras are to be stored right side up. For example, the mirror...

That’s what I’m really curious about.

So, the new firmware update this April will give us autofocus (center cross-type points) at f/8.  This update begs the question.... Why was this feature not available upon the camera’s release last...

With f/4 lenses, the ONLY thing you don't have working are the diagonal crossed prisms along the middle (hence no double-cross-type AF points along the middle of the frame). But you still get...

Not that it's all that crucial, but I can't help but notice that Nikon cameras are fitted with much nicer, more robust loops for their neck straps. For Canons, it's just the flat metal tabs with...

With most electronic devices, youre supposed to remove the batteries when the device won't be used for more than a month or so.What is recommended for digital cameras? Or the 5D Mark 3' specifically?

As needed?That's not quite the same thing as clearing the card after images have been uploaded. If my eyefi card is half-filled with photos, it doesn't "need" to create space, but I'd still be...

Is it possible to have uploaded images automatically removed from the EyeFi Pro card, or do we have to go through the EOS 5D Mark III menus to delete the images?

Anyone?

I don’t have a heck of a lot of experience with cameras -- I’m just a casual shooter -- nor have I ever gotten a camera wet like that. But I’ve had my share of experiences with electronic devices...

This morning, I decided to shoot with RAW files, so I changed the setting from " - " to "RAW". I took about 150 photos on my 5D Mark III this morning. When I go home an tried to download them, I...

I think Canon really cleaned up the design by getting rid of those sculpted ledges that housed the buttons.

Yes, they’re very nice photos - we can all see that. Some of them are better than anything I could muster on my 5D Mark III.Hell, a few of them are even nice enough to use as a screensaver.But the...

Of course, downloading files takes place at a vastly slower pace than It would using the USB port. That, and there are additional instructions to read in order to make it work just the way you...

Maybe he doesn’t use the left AF points at all, ever. But that’s irrelevant. He’s got a malfunctioning camera that Nikon refuses to acknowledge. That’s bad enough.

I considered that lens, but went with the f/4-5.6 L instead. I figured it this way: the 24-105 isn’t exactly a tiny lens, nor is the f/4-5.6 DO. The two together would still amount to a...

Despite the issues I had with regard to getting my 5D Mark III (e.g. light leak issue, displeasure with the solution for it, dust under the focusing screen, etc.), let me say that now that I have...
