Umm - doesn't the 7D have a built in shutter counter? If I press 'info' enough times, there is a status screen that shows the counts.

Thanks! I don't normally use Canon's DPP software, but if it can improve my images even more, I may have to install the software and experiment with it.

I have read a few posts on here about the 7D and soft images, and having recently purchased a 7D, coupled with a 100 - 400 MM L series lens, I was never really fully happy with the IQ of the two...

I use a variety of open source tools for post processing my pictures. I use UFRaw for post processing and exporting it to a ppm file. I then open the ppm file in GIMP, and add my 'signature' as a...

Thank you for your post and excellent pictures! You have given me another factor to consider when purchasing a macro lens, or lenses that can be used for macro work if combined with extension...

Thanks! I do want to try my hand at photographing insects so your description of the differences is something I will have to consider....

Thanks

I currently own the Canon 7D and I would like to consider trying out some macro photography. But the choices are, for me anyways, either the Canon 60 mm F2.8 or the Canon 100 mm F2.8 lens. For...

I do sell stock photos, albeit not a lot as I don't dedicate a lot of time to stock. I'm not sure if I can list the name of the site, so I won't, but it is quite easy to register and upload photo's...

I upgraded to the 7D from an old Rebel xTi camera early this year and so far, I love this camera. I also just recently purchased the 100-400mm L series lens and the two seem to be made for each...

And if I remember correctly, you can upgrade up to five Macs at that price as it includes 5 licenses, not the 1:1 upgrade deal that MS offers....

Thanks to everyone who replied to my thread!

Yes, my next goal is to take some bird shots at eye level. In this case, I was on a wooden bridge that crosses the pond so unless swimming, eye level was not possible! :-)  I am actually thinking...

I just recently purchased the Canon 7D and the 100-400 mm L series lens as well. I am still learning how to get the full benefits from the 7D, and I was out yesterday taking pictures and getting...

I just recently purchased the Canon 7D and added the 100-400 mm L series lens, and I must say that I am quite happy with this combination. With each outing, I get a little better, and a little more...

I agree. Having way too much fun learning the 7D, as it is fairly new to me!

Today I purchased the Canon 100 - 400 mm L series zoom lens, and what can I say other than wow. The focusing is very fast, quiet and pretty much bang on. I've only played with it for a couple of...

For movie theatres, the normal frame rate is 24. This is the minimum value one can go and have the video look fluid. Frames per second as it relates to video is different than shutter rate. Not...

Actually, I thought the squirrel came out a little too green  ;-)  but kidding! Great picture! B.

While us in our little part of Canada digs out from the latest winter blast!  :-)I can hardly wait till spring so I can get out and start shooting the returning birds and hopefully their young ones...
