I changed my computer to apple about 10y ago. They did have a superb product at one stage. Still have it on old iMac. Snow Leopard operating system. Since then it's been "improved" by numerous...

That was magnificent.

Are you using continuous or single autofocus? If using the former handheld it could be unreliable in a static subject.

Checked mine, a pristine lens, with IS off. Exactly the same. There is NOTHING wrong with it. Different lenses have different amounts of noise.

I used to do this kind of thing. It's a waste of time. The adjustments are not really visible to the naked eye when looking at photos.

I doubt it very much. I've had to have a 1Ds3 serviced, and a 1Div. Had 1Ds and 1Dsii which never needed anything. Interestingly the two faults were two electronic ones which could not have been ...

It is as the ISO climbs but otherwise it's not. I have FF Canons and also have a NEX system with the NEX 600. I can tell you that the image quality is outstanding with a richness of tones that ...

Placed 40^th in the challenge. BIrd looks blue due to the sky.

No flash. The background was in deep shadow. I know that area well. I turned the exposure down 2 thirds of a stop, otherwise bird would've been overexposed. The light is really diffused.

I do a regular walk with a camera and a 400mm lens. I like photographing birds, but they're often too far away to get good shots. Today I tried something new. I've a very good 2x Sigma converter ...

Placed 70^th in the challenge. Shot of Heron rising from stream.

I'm 66! I don't even feel it!

It's 880g. I can carry it all day without it bothering me. My big stuff is Canon 1Dx with various lenses. I hate lugging that around. As for action, afraid of bringing my good stuff to Rio to ...

I've had this a year. It's not perfect but as an all-in-one goes, it's fantastic. Great sharp lens, very good AF, 10fps, fabulous video, fabulous image stabilisation, quiet (can be silent), light, ...

That was true with other Sigmas but the 50 is perfect in that regard. I've since read up a review of the Sigma 24-105 and it's no better than the Canon. So I wouldn't get it.

The other consideration is the new Sigma in that guise. I'm tempted. What got me going in that direction is the Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art. It's heavier than the Canon f1.4, which is pretty light, but ...

Don't think so. I just worked it out. It took me a couple of hours. You can set the info button display just to show the level. (Tab 2 info button options on Spanner menu) In this case it won't work. ...

For a time my 1Dx would show this on the monitor and now it doesn't. Just in the viewfinder. A friend has the same experience. It's obviously a setting but we can't find out how to do it.... I'm ...
