Detail, lots and lots of detail. Big pictures with more detail than you can shake a stick at. It helps if the subject, well, has lots of details.

The irony here is palpable (to see a comment like that coming from a former colony).

I find the screen to be a great advantage. For example, one time I wanted to keep the subject in the middle of my frame, but didn't want a lightbulb in the background, so I raised my camera above...

Maybe they haven't updated the 400/5.6 because nothing made in the last 20 years does a better job (for less than $2K).

The information frenzy isn't inherently worthless, if something is actually a terrible product we will know about it quickly after it's released, where in the pre-internet days it would have taken...

Look into the Sigma 35mm f1.4.You may still like a fast lens with less than great IQ though. I came to a realization about IQ the other day and I think it applies to your situation as well.My...

I'm pretty sure I've seen the term "ISO sensitivity" thrown around. I think using "sensitivity" as a key word portrays the function best. You can combine it with "exposure", "ISO", "brightness",...

It seems reasonable to me that someone spending $12,000 on a lens might want to put in another 20% and get something superior to what is already available.

I bought an Induro AT413. It's big, heavy, has reasonable fit and finish, is decently well thought out, and it cost just over $200.The only point that I really disagree with on the AT413 is a...

I agree that you are far better off without a converter if they make an EF-M native lens in the range you're looking for. An EF-M 600mm f4 (and an EOS-M camera that doesn't suck) would make the...

I agree that you are far better off without a converter if they make a mirrorless native lens in the range you're looking for. An EF-M 600mm f4 (and an EOS-M camera that doesn't suck) would make...

Mirrorless cameras now have a reason to exist.
APS-C is cheap compared to full frame, but gives up clarity and light from the smaller sensor. If Canon were to put one of these on a EOS-M that...

Thanks for the responses.So the answer to the first question basically is, the 18-55 IS is a better than average kit lens, but that is also an increasingly common attribute in more recent kit...

So I got this 18-55 IS 2 lens with my camera (the T3 doesn't have a body only option), and everything I read says it should be a terrible lens.The problem is that in my testing it's hard to see...

Surely if someone can't see the EVF from close up they wouldn't be able to read either.Have you tried with glasses on?
