Now we know why camera crews try to have sound crews. The ECCMSST1 has some advantages over the in camera mike. For one it's got an variable recording cone, not quite shotgun but most people mess...

I had not realized there were that many, not surprised either, but as I read it, there are currently three 18-55s. I assume they've dropped a couple. Somewhere in a closet I have an old 18-55 (I...

I like the pictures, good use of the wide. I'll check out the others on Flickr. I remember most of those cars when they were new. I never owned a Henry J, did some drag racing with guys who did -...

I've got both of them, the EFS is same generation. I can't see any difference between them other than size. . The problem with the EFS is that you need the adapter and you have to include that if...

Everyone comes at this a slightly different way. In the film days, I was primarily a Nikon user, starting in 1960, but I worked the trade then and had other cameras for other purposes. I didn't...

I've still got the EOS M, but I acquired a Sony NEX 7 to fill most of the purposes intended for the M - a second travel camera etc with 5d3.It isn't perfect,but it's head and shoulders above the M....

The photographs exemplify he EOS M at its best -- and it's best is pretty damn gespecially with with a user with this eye.  Excellent all the way. the downside is not here. The problem is that...

It's not entirely inappropriate to compare Coke and Adobe or if you will, Apple and Adobe. Both Coke and Adobe are marketing disasters.
As someone noted, Coke wanted to introduce Corn Syrup or...

At present you can open from Lightroom into applications other than Photoshop, i.e. I can open into several apps including Topaz which can work standalone. I'm going to continue using Lightroom,...

I don't trust Adobe at all. Look at the Flash mess and they've made a hash of a fair number of other things. I've had Photoshop for 14 years, having been reluctant to undertake learning yet another...

Some of these questions are being answered and in some cases the mechanics of the situation may not be bad. What I don't like is the entire approach that Adobe has taken, sort of we decide, you...

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.
