If you are learning photography it is best to start out with an inexpensive camera and learn how to work around its limitations, especially in low light conditions.  This way when you eventually ...

Answer: Depends. and your response "If you shot sports, forget everything I've said" is not 100% accurate. Light is the number 1 reason why someone buys better gear. Better gear handles low light ...

+3  I use to borrow the 70-200mm f/2.8L for my former 70D so it did indeed work.  ** I did have the external power grip attached so my 70D was running 2 batteries when I used that lens. I can ...

If you have no intention in getting into video then the 5DM3 is a better camera.  The 80D is better for video.

Outdoor hockey ... different beast. Easier on the camera however I did notice they were taken in the evening. Some suggestions: * increase your shutter speed to at minimum of 1/800, preferably 1/1000+

The OP stepped into my world - ice hockey photography.  An f/4 lens is too slow for indoor ice hockey.  If you are shooting in auto mode then the camera is automatically selecting a slow shutter ...

I started out in digital photography on Sony and was a loyal Sony shooter for years during the early days in digital photography.  My first Canon DSLR was the Rebel T2i and I had made investment ...

I upgraded from a 70D about year ago, so far no issues at all.   I even performed a firmware upgrade on it and the process went flawless.

Technique is key here.  An average-to-good photographer can take great portrait images with a 70mm+ lens, but if you don't have the knowledge how to get the most out of a 40mm and smaller lens for ...

BAK is correct in his line of questions.  Depending how far you are from your subject and the style of portrait you are looking for, perhaps a 35mm would be best but that all depends on what you ...

I own the 70-200 f4 and have borrowed the f2.8 version many times.  But before we jump into that comparison I have zero experience in horse shows:  how close (distance) are you from the action?  ...

Never say never from switching manufactures.  I use to only shoot Canon glass until I tried Sigma.  Now I carry both Canon and Sigma glass in my bag with a first look always at Sigma because they ...

I have zero experience with the Canon 100-400 ii so I can't comment on that particular lens.  I do use Sigma 300mm prime with the 1.4x teleconverter to 400mm and very happy with the results.

An adapter would be necessary for the EF lenses if they shrink the body size due to no mirror inside the body to compensate for the  shorter Flange Focal Distance.

Sorry to complete disagree but this has everything to do with Flange Focal Distance and less with ergonomics. For detailed explanation please visit:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flange_focal_distance

If they use native EF mount on the mirrors body then the camera body will be DSLR large in size.  In order for Canon to do this right they need to make L glass EF-M lenses. This in turn will upset ...

Is it too late? I started replacing my older or higher aperture Canon L glass with Sigma and to be honest I can't tell the difference between the lenses image quality unless I 'pixel peep', but ...

If you want mirrorless FF right now your best option is Sony with an EF mount adapter.

The Venue is a school auditorium: * running a wire from the back to the front is not practical, the school would not allow that * hopefully electronic interference would not exist in this situation.

I was trying to accomplish this spending as little as possible. The concert is an orchestra so no sound system to plug into. I already own a Rode stereo video mic pro ...
