Hi James The first version had most buyers waiting in line for many months. I suspect this one will be back ordered in bigger numbers. Anyone serious, might want to preorder early. One can always ...

Testing this lens on your EOS 6D, just to compare it's performance when on your 80D might be a good starting point in troubleshooting this. Just a thought. :)

Hi Phil I like the second shot, that shows the feather detail. Wax Wing's with their fine feathers are hard to resolve digitally. You did it, and did it very well. I have a 100-400 L classic as ...

Hi James I'll try to keep this short. There are many normal reasons for failure to focus, so don't get to worried about it at this early stage. My 70D does the same thing with my 100-400 classic, ...

My experience with Photo Gallery has me say no, to all three questions.

Windows Photo Gallery has all the basics and the few tools it does have, are more powerful then you would expect from a program of this type. Highlight and shadow control work real well. ...

Thanks Kevin for the kind words. My results aren't as good as others on this forum but I try to keep it fun. Great photos should be our goal, but they don't mater if it doesn't remain fun. :-) Happ ...

Very nice set Don. We share a similar interest. My yard is as bird friendly as we can make it. It is very convenient having a wide variety come to our yard. I get much more camera time this way. ...

Hand held for the BIF but I was leaning against something for the still shots. I always try to find something to lean on if I can. Good question though, as I should make better use of a tripod. The ...

Hi seanofford Listen to the two guys above (RDD2 and RogerZoul ), as they are BIF experts. Just check out their galleries. My 2 cents could maybe bring up the rear. :) I have been looking at the ...

You should be fine with either the Tamron or Sigma for the price. Canon or Nikon primes should be noticeably superior to these if one could afford them. Any 600mm needs lots of over the shoulder ...

I am not trying to make excuses for Canon but the three lights showing flare, are floods or spots and are also tilted directly into your lens. Now notice that the three distant fixtures are the ...

Hi Gabebalazs Canon keeps advancing its focusing technology and its not unusual for existing third party lenses to not be 100% functional with the latest bodies. I am sure Canon is not the least ...

Good first shots. Congratulations on your new DSLR. If you shoot .jpg..... Canon DSLRs have settings called "Picture Styles". It will help you to learn the power these can have. Here is just the ...

Windows Photo Gallery does a good job of basic stitching and is simple to use.  I would assume it shares some technology with its big brother known as ICE. Ken

The T3i was very similar and an improvement over the famous T2i. Also it used a very similar sensor to the famous EOS 7D. You should be very happy with a good working T3i. Here is my recent post of ...

DPReview link: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos550d/29 Quote from actual review: Conclusion All in all, the EOS 550D is the most compelling DSLR of its class that we've ever tested. It is ...

Hi Kris You show maturity. I am happy for you. You are a better person then I. After all that Canon put you through, and then they try to slap you with this NDA thing, now seems very childish on ...
