That's even more ridiculous since they never have such a camera with high-mp. You either get a high-megapixel model with restricted features, or a lower megapixel model with all the other ...

I have all 3 of those. 2 Prograde 325gb's, which are my primary cards, 2 256gb Prograde SD's, and the same card reader. I also have a pair of Sandisk 128gb's, which were the first cards I got. (I ...

There are actually DSLR's that use a "pellicle" mirror - a semi-transparent fixed mirror. I never heard of a 7D with a pellicle though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pellicle_mirror

I just realized I've been replying to a... 4 year old thread??? I guess it's time for my meds!

I believe the new FusionTLC Raven can adjust the power of the Einsteins (and probably DigiBees) with the MC2 receivers. I've only used my Raven with my Profotos so far, I should try it out with ...

I talked about Einsteins in another thread. The Einsteins are similar in style and weight to the AlienBees, but seem sturdier and they've been workhorses for me. The new Link can take rechargeable ...

Since you already have Alien Bees, Einsteins would make sense because you won't have new modifiers or adapters. Then you can keep the Alien Bees as backups. Also the Einsteins have a top-mounted ...

I use a sling-strap, which might help somewhat, though since the camera can spin around, it might still wake up now and then. I turn it off if I'm going to be walking a bit or otherwise not using ...

I use the CFE cards for my main card (much, much, much faster to offload them onto the computer!) and I always have the SD cards as a running backup. I used to write RAW to both cards, but it's ...

How fast are we talking? And how close? I had this lens for a weekend on evaluation loan and used it for a Tennessee Walking Horse show. Not a very erratic subject, but it performed fantastically ...

Thanks Jim, mine's supposed to arrive tomorrow, so I can't wait to try it out!

I shoot equine sports, but I'm generally using strobes, so I'm usually shooting 3-4 fps so the flashes can keep up (and to keep the number of photos within reason). I also rarely go above ISO 400....

Resolution matters not. Judge by my megapixels do you? Hmmm? Hmmm?

Yes, D2's have built-in Air receivers. I've been using them with the Profoto AirTTL, and lately I've started using the A1 as a trigger when I'm doing long events on a tripod (swappable batteries ...

I ordered one for my Canon a few days ago, 2nd Day Air, but hasn't arrived yet. Looking forward to trying it though! I use 1000 watt D2's. Will it be compatible with these? I saw a comment above ...

It seems to be better for some birds than others. My local Canada Geese (black heads, dark eyes, and long... goosenecks) can be challenging.

It doesn't even do "find any plant or tree" - it just shifts all the greens to reds/pinks. Leaves->red. Green shirt->red. Green car->red. Those might all be different hues (or brightness in b&w)...

Yeah, I've made 4x5' banners from my old 12 megapixel 5D, later with 5DII, III, and IV... haven't made one yet from my R5. The old 12mp banners served their purpose well, and impressed people, and ...

I have 45 megapixels now with the R5, and it's very capable for my needs shooting equine sports. My main lens in the Sigma 120-300mm f/2.8 and for the closer shots I get great high-resolution ...

Low supply, high demand, it would seem. I'd suggest doing what I did with the R5 last year: place a few backorders, and when one goes through, cancel the others. I finally ended up getting my R5 ...
