Canon's 61 pt pro AF system in the 1D-X and 5D3 is really cool. I do a lot of wildlife shooting with teles up to 500 mm and my 5D3's AF system is really stunning (if the settings are...

I am no guru... but: as others in this thread, I'd highly recommend you redo your test with life view. Switch to manual focus, use 10x magnification, focus only manually to be sure get the most...

Is the 6D still supporting AF when using the 70-200/4 with a 2x TC? I doubt this. I have 5D3, and since the latest firmware update it can focus f/8 TC/lens combos, and as far as I know it is the...

I guess you have pretty good reasons for not considering a FF Sony A99... There is one reason to prefer Sony's over Canon's system (not included the new crop EOS 70D with its dual pixel AF), and...

Oh, Sony, c'mon. This could be such a great new thing in digital photography, please add RAW and more manual control options...

Well, the 70D is basically the first 40 MP APS sensor camera on the market, and I wondered that DxO did not stress this fact. Given those really tiny pixels, the 70D's performance is in fact a...

Ken, thank you so much for your great work! I check this thread frequently, it's one of my fav and I learn always a lot from the comments. So, hopefully, you will have a good successor. And, good...

Most important points have already been made. According to DxO the Tamron's optical quality is quite close to Canon's EF 24-70/2.8...

:-D

Would be very interesting to show both a jury's and the popular voting results, and - if this is the case - explain why the jury came to a different conclusion. I think we all could learn a lot...

We have both a Nikkor 300/4 and a Canon 300/4 IS in our household (my wife shoots Nikon, I Canon). We use those compact 300's for wildlife, macro (if you cannot get closer than 1.5 m) and street...

Sorry, this was a typo in my previous post which DPR does not allow me to correct anymore, I meant "which IS important IMO" of course...

I wouldn't change systems just based on frustration with one single camera, did you send it to Nikon service? That said, I'd recommend you to rent a 5D3 with the kit lens you want and play with it....

But that's normal, Tee1up, most people are no skilled photographers - and they don't care! When I was a child, every family made bad snapshots with primitive film P&S's, but they were happy with...

Hey Jeff, Was traveling so I could not reply earlier. Thanks for your nice compliment :-). Good luck

you're welcome! you got it. Heavy vignetting is typical for UWA lenses simply because of physics, in the time the shutter is opened they collect much more light in the center, less in the...

Thx, photoshopped a bit :-).

Jeff, you asked me about wide angle lenses. Another interesting alternative to the Canon 16-35 or 17-40 zooms (I mentioned the Zeiss 18/3.5 above), that IS affordable (approx. 340 $ on Amazon...
