Easiest solution is to call 1-800-OK Canon and get help from tech support. They will be able to help you with your system issues.  That number works in the states.   If you are in another country...

Chris get the white lined one for softer more complimentary lighting. They should still be selling a diffusion sock with it also.  If I remember right Alien Bees also has forums where you can find...

Just so you know Steve is a very experienced and excellent photographer.-Jason Stoller ComicDom1@aol.comWe are just Beta Testers who pay the Camera Companies to test their new products!

I have the beauty dish that is white inside.  You will find that the silver one will give you a much harsher light.How far back I set the light depends on the F Stop, I am looking for, what I am...

Just make sure your tablet can read raw files and whatever files you put on it make sure you can get off.  I would do several test runs.

I am reading people saying do not get locked into the Canon System, but this poster already is heavily invested in it.   He mentions he as several different Canon speed lights already.  If the...

I have been using the AB Beauty dish for a number of years now.  Granted I have the older one but it still works well for me.   I think its important to have no matter whose brand you buy but Paul...

So what you are saying is a 1DMKVI that is very accurate for sports and wildlife could not be put in single shot mode and would not focus at a selected focus point in a group?  I am sorry I really...

Really?  The 5D3 has the same focus system as the 1DX but it only has one Digic 5+ Chip driving it whereas the 1DX has Dual Digic 5+ .  The 1DIV has Dual Digic 4 chips.   I was exactly where some...

From what I understand, the 5D3 is a great camera but does not have the power to drive the super tele lenses like the regular 1D series does.

Hopefully you will get on some sort of time schedule calibrating your monitor.  I had the same experience with my Apple monitor being out of calibration.You are also correct that you subject is...

Pete I agree with you completely.  If the AF system doesn't work properly or as accurately as it should, the sensor quality and resolution does not matter.

I would continue to shop other dealers like Adorama,  17thstreetphoto, Norman Camera, Roberts Camera, Calumet, and tallyns camera. A reputable dealer will usually give you a return period without a...

I did a side by side comparison with my D700 and a D800 or a period of several days.  While I did not use all primes to do this, I would suggest, that you might change the number of focus points...

Amen

Overkill for who?  The person that needs it and is too lazy to use it.  People have used tripods for years and still do.  If you do not like a tripod then get a monopod.  You know they make point...

So basically you are making a generalization again without any kind of  personal experience. Generalizations will come back to haunt you.  Just like your feeling on primes without VR or IS, some of...

Why do you need VR to shoot in low light when you have Higher Iso available and shutter speeds available.  You can always use a tripod, and guess what even a flash.   Some of these comments just...

The 28-300 FX is not the same as the 18-200 Dx lens used on the Dx sensor.  Based on the 1.5 multiplication factor of the Dx sensor the 18-200 Dx has a similar effective focal length (27-300) on...

LOL now thats funny and probably the best post of the thread.
