What event(s) are you shooting and what access do you have to the field. For running events with field access I mostly use 70-200 f2.8 at 200 on a 7D but for sprints/hurdles at finish line while...

Thanks for posting this. Definitely explains some of my focus misses using the offcenter focus points. I've got a number of shots where the red focus square is right between the eyes or directly on...

Caveat - I shoot crop cameras. When I first started out on a a 400D I bought the 28-105 f3.5-4.5 as an "all around" lens (~$210 at the time and the EFS 17-55 did not exist not sure about the...

If you plan on staying with a crop sensor then either the EFS17-55f2.8IS or one of the Sigma/Tamron 17-50s is a better choice than the 17-40L. I went thru this a couple of years ago and got the...

The 50f1.8 nifty fifty is notorious for hit or miss focus and at best is an average lens for sports where tracking a moving subject is key. The 85f1.8 is an excellent lens for indoor sports....

N Big Island (7D)Waikiki Beach (40D) Going Back to Big Island in January. Cann't wait!

I bought the Zeikos LP-E6 from Beach Camera in NJ. Used it last nite. 705 shots RAW, at nite football game so focus tracking and hi speed shutter. Battery status according to 7D menu 56% remaining....

Yes to the video recorder but I don't have one, so .... its the 7D from either the top of the stands or press box if I have access to it. 17-55 or 70-200 will depend on how far I am to the players...

Does anyone have any experience with the Zeikos LP-E6 Battery for Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 5D Mark II, 7D and 60D from Beach Camera. Need a 2nd battery for this Sunday so really too late to get one...

I've been asked by a friend of a friend to shoot video of some pop warner football games. The coach is looking to use the video of opposing teams to prepare for a playoff game.I'm completely...

I didn't see any comment on what wide angle lenses you have. Maybe rent a 5DMii instead? -- Mike Dennis

For me my family is used to me taking pictures on vacation. My typical kit is 7d&40D (sometimes leave 40D home if short trip) EFS17-55f2.8 on one and 70-200LISMII on the other and 430 flsah in...

Thanks. That sounds promising. Do you have the regular streetwalker or the streetwalker pro model.Really looking to carry just 7D w/70-200f28.8L, 40D w/17-55f2.8 and 430 flash. If there's more room...

The lowepro flipside 400 based on some of the BHphoto reviews doesn't fit the bill but the fstopgear backpacks have potential with the inserts although they get pretty expensive.Is anyone using the...

I've been searching around without much success. Looking for a backpack that can hold the following:Canon 7D and 40D. One camera with 70-200f2.8LISMII attached other with 17-55f2.8IS attached. Both...

It all depends on where you will be shooting from and how much court access and freedom you have. Before I got the 70-200f2.8LIS II I shot volley ball with a 7D and 85f1.8. I had sideline access...

Thanks.I'm just starting to use Bridge to organize photos so I guess my real question is whats the difference between how Bridge and PSE Organizer work and how compatable are they if I started with...
