I think a zoom is a great benefit. I went to a local air show a week ago and I really used the zoom capabilities and I would have been limited by a prime. The gear can be quite heavy after some ...

A week ago (Sandisk CFast 2 64GB). RAW files lost but JPG copies on the secondary CF card.

The 80D is better in most ways: sensor, noice, resolution, flexibility, af system ... The 7D is more rugged and has a joystick. Go for the 80D if the 7D mk ii is not an option.

The M50 is too small to have perfect ergonomics. I prefer handling a big DSLR but you easily bring and carry the M50 when a DSLR is too big and heavy.

Just learn to use Manual mode + auto ISO + exposure compensation when needed. That is much more flexible and you won't be limited by all those auto limits that will get in your way quite often. ...

Go into menu AF5, item 2 (I don't have the English text) and select how you want your AF-points illuminated. You probably have selected option 4 and you probably want option 1.

Mine don't. You have a lot of configuration options so maybe go through your setting with your manual in your hand. I have configured mine to flash non-cross AF points when I select AF mode so I ...

It is OK to mention the FF equivalent focal length for the lenses but you should also mention the FF equivalent aperture at the same time so lesser skilled photographers are not mislead to think...

... which I already have. Oh no! He should know by now that "equivalence" is a forbidden word for APS-C but perfectly allowed for 1” Sonys, compact cameras, smartphones and maybe even for M43s.

The banding is due to the burst of flashes is not distributed evenly enough during exposure. You have to understand HSS to understand why you get banding. With HSS the shutter is never opened ...

Very fast cards won't help as the 7D2 can't write that fast.

The 7D mk ii has a more advanced AF system than the 80D with some extra modes I use a lot: single point with 4 or 8 point expansion is useful for BiF and single spot (small AF point) is useful for ...

The 6D is not good for shallow DoF portraits. I had a 6D. The already few AF points are clustered too close to the center to support good composition. You don't want to focus-and-recompose for ...

I don't have experiences with that combo but I do with a similar combo as I have been using a 200-400L f/4 + 1DX mk ii for 3 years. I haven't seen any specific problems with the focus system, ...

Here are a few hints for your safari in Africa. Africa is very dusty so bring some kind of blanket or sheet to cover your gear while in transport in open vehicles. Don't swap lenses in the open to ...

Yes, I understood that and you are right in the real world (John Sheehy will tell you the technical details). I just wanted to point out that there are other important features on a camera than ...

Sure I did:-) The "crop factor" difference between a 6D and a 80D is very real and has a very practical meaning in real life. Just look at a bird through the view finder of a 6D and then the 80D ...

We all (or most of us) know that! This discussion is about 80D (24MP APS-C) vs. 6D (20MP) and here the crop factor (or "higher pixel density on a smaller sensor where the view finder and all of ...

So true:-) But if 600mm is too long you are in trouble if can't bring a second high IQ lens. I sometimes consider a 600 f/4 or a 400 f/2.8 for birding but I can't really justify that. I would have ...

I've had mine for almost 5 years and I still find it is one of the most versatile lenses out there, especially for safaris. It is heavy so I can't hand hold it for more than 20 - 30 seconds. I ...
