Marco: Kind of like the M with that lens.  If I'd been a good boy in the 50s and taken shop and learned how to lathe camera mounts, I might want to try that with some of my M lenses, i.e., the...

that's cool. I've got a Bigma 50-500 which focuses okay as is, but this should help with the extender of 1.4 which gives an effective 700mm on the 5DIII or something like 1120mm If I find a 1.6...

Sorry, that isn't true. No one ever made a big issue about it,but there has always been a compressed RAW file from most cameras. Leica gave a choice on compressed or uncompressed RAW on the M9, or...

oh yeah on the eos-m. When it focuses, the pictures are great, but if you've used one, you know just how f-----d up they made the firmware. I've own and have owned a ton of Canons. I cannot figure...

Okay, this is in a sense a trick question. Because some people aren't going to believe this. I've had Lexar, Sandisk, Transcend, Kingston and a couple of others.  The only one I've had a...

Barnack and his little cameras (which I collect) were part of a modern movement that form should follow function which in essence is what you describe. FWIW, while the concept was not immediately...

I doubt it because it would make too much sense -- and I'm a Canon fan. But FWIW, it would require considerable redesign in a smaller package than the G series. Also, they'd probably outrage those...

I think I agree with Joe, Colin and Schmegg. I've personally evolved from the 20D through all three of the 5Ds -- each of the 5d versions as soon as they started the market. I like to see progress,...

I agree, having had the 5d, 5d2 and since its release the 5D3. Each edition has advanced and refined the camera -- you will enjoy the last.

Without trying to confuse you further, I think you've gotten to the point of differentiating between the s100 and the Elph 110.There is also a relatively new Powershot s110 which is not related to...

This is an old thread by now, but another comment.First, I concur with the OP that the G15 is a premier camera for new shooters. There are other non-Canons that also fill this bill nicely, but I'm...

As far as I know B&H only does business in NY state for tax purposes. Amazon is doing business in a significant number of states with warehousing or whatever so there's a stronger chance you're...

Yes, on the s95 it should be turned off when attached to a tripod. FWIW (without being a wise ass) I looked it up in the s95 user's manual,...

All 110 pounds of noble beast appreciates it. The M exceeds my expectations -- and as you suggest,has capability yet to be explored. To me, the image demonstrates the lightweight EFS 55-250mm IS...

I got an EOS M the first week of November - it joins other cameras from a 5D Mark 3 as well as a Mark 2, and and others, including the s100 and other useful shooting tools. I was aware of the...

I think the prime question was answered. FWIW, I'm very happy with my s100 as a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or whatever camera -- and most days it would do fine as a number 1 if I didn't have such exalted...

That' what i've used since the 5d3 came, which replaced he former primary,  a 5d2 (before that a 5d1) with 24-70 and 16-35.i've always gone heavier but the older i get, the harder the weight is to...

FWIW, it's very nice you looked at the people, gave it a serious thought about its rarity and offered a bit of praise for the shooter. I don't care for Mitt Romney (as opposed to hate him which is...

Amen on that.I have hard time parting with cameras. May explain why I've got so many LTM Leicas. I just got back four IIIf RDs from CLAs/overhauls and they're as good as they were right at 60s...

That's a tough question because I bought a 5DII the day it was issued (preorder) and did the same this year with the 5DIII. I also owned a 20D followed by the original 5D.They are great cameras. I...
