A couple from an imaging session last weekend with a Canon 700D & 18-55 STM kit lens. Bortal sky around 3. 12 image stacks at ISO 3200, 10 second duration. Reasonably pleased with these but would ...

Cheers Digi, it was one of those nights when all the stars aligned ( pardon the pun) :)

Thanks Rocket, very rare night when we get to see stars right down to the horizon. Added bonus being no leaves on the trees allowing for a more interesting shot. I'm liking what you are getting ...

One of a series of images from one of the best clear skies we have had in years. Stars right down to the horizon. This image is looking southwest over the old milking shed on our farm block. The ...

Thank you, they were some of the better images from the days outing. And no I wasn't joking, at the moment I seem to be getting highly variable output from my camera, something I'm going to have to ...

I'm finding that my keeper rate seems quite a bit lower than what I was getting with the 650D I had. Images ( not all of them ) are generally soft and dont seem to be as crisp as the older camera ...

A couple from the weekends outing. Still not overly happy with the performance of the 700D at this point. This Tui just Loves to lick your fingers. White Faced Heron Just a few from the local bird ...

What you describe is exactly how I feel about my 700D. I'm  disappointed with the IQ considering I was expecting it to be better than my 650D. Images all tend to be soft focus and its low-light ...

I can see the Canon marketing crew scratching their heads over that. What ? They want more grainy noise now!! And just when they thought they had it right with noise free sensors. :)

Yep there  is something aesthetically pleasing about the files from the earlier Canon Rebel series. My 700D is a good unit but I have found that the 1000D just produced really nice images with a ...

Its smaller and lighter for starters and a lot more simplistic. Sharp well balanced images straight out of camera. I am getting on better with the 700D now, still getting used to it. For two ...

Its an old camera now but I really liked what I got from it. Almost looks a little film like. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that my 700D has, but I'm finding I'm not getting on with ...

All the reviewers seen to favour the USM version. Its the later generation lens and apparently optically it noticeably improved over the older STM lens. Its certainly not overkill, but it is quite ...

I'm currently in the same boat (metaphorically) having recently picked up a Canon 700D with the 18-55 STM kit lens. I'm currently looking at the following: Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens C ...

Both the images above were taken at 18 mm focal length, f3.5, ISO3200 for 20 seconds. Both images are a set of 10 stacked images taken consecutively. Therefore each image is the equivalent of 3.3 ...

I live 30 kms west of the city of Hamilton in NZ. I'm actually on the lower foothills of Mt. Pirongia. Light pollution to the northeast isn't good. The direction on the photos from my locality is ...

Had the opportunity to test out my recent purchase. Canon 700D with the 18-55 ATM lens. I liked my 650D but I'm liking the 700D better. Anywho, first clear night in about a month so a good time to ...

Um ... the XT line didnt need video to get IBIS. Thats simply are marketing point. For those of us who wanted to have IBIS in a purely photo centric camera, we would all be buying Pentax DSLRs. ...
