Hunts Photo has pretty much cornered the photo store market in the Boston area. They have stores in Boston & Cambridge. Their flagship store in Melrose caters to professionals. I've never used ...

If both slots contain CFast I will never own one, unless they go Nikon's route and offer interchangeable CF /CFast slots, which is a great solution IMO.  I recently had to bring 24 CF cards (which ...

Many venues have switched to LED or energy efficient florescent, but even the LED lighting can flicker, which is the case at one venue I shoot at a couple times a year. Anti-flicker is the feature ...

Both are great, highly capable cameras, I have taken more than 1 million sports images with each. To me the biggest win that the 1DX2 has over the 1DX is the anti-flicker feature. If you've ever ...

Can Sony repair your gear in 1 day and have it back to you within 4 days if it breaks?  Canon can.  For a working pro, there's a lot more into the decision than comparing the features of the ...

I'm pretty sure the gear is not only for replacement but for general use/borrowing.  So if you need something you just arrive and check it out, no need to have broken camera.  So it might be a lot ...

Doesn't make any sense, but only canon can tell you.  Do you not have any CF cards?  Pretty much any ever made will work, as that's 64MB not GB. John

I know next to nothing about video, but the little bit of 120fps 1080p video I've shot with my 1DX II has been nothing short of amazing IMO.  I've shot some very high level dance and power and ...

Hey at least  you have a rebate card.  In the past, the company processing rebates for Canon would just reject a high percentage of them for no reason and make it next to impossible to do anything ...

This is what I recently paid for a 1DX Mark II at the Canon refurbished store. I buy everything I can this way and get basically what looks and works like brand new equipment direct from Canon at ...

The Canon 1DXII is a great camera, and actually has better IQ at ISO 50-100, but it can't even touch the D4s at high ISO's. The D5 wins at color saturation and dynamic range as well.

I...

Is this happening shooting to several different CFAST cards?   If you are using only one CFAST card maybe its a problem the card. Also, you certainly can shoot RAW in high burst rate drive to CF ...

Most of the photographers I shoot with shoot sports at f/2.8 or f/4 and then team and individuals in the studio at around f/16.  Its is a royal pain in the butt to have to deal with sensor crud ...

Are you sure you are not seeing dust spots? Prior to cleaning to prepare for a studio session I see dust spots on my sensors almost 100% of the time. I know they are dust spots because they can be ...

I just picked up a factory refurbished 1DX2 direct from Canon last month for around $4079.32 when they had their 15% off sale. Item Name Status Shipment Method Quantity Price EOS-1D X Mark II Body ...

My company has taken approx. 3 MILLION photos (probably closer to 4 MILLION shots as the shutter count in the system info display stops at 999,999) on my three 1DX's and 1 MILLION photos on my 2 ...

interesting. What are the purpose of those contacts? A google search led me to Halloween sites selling White Block contacts, which look similar but make the Iris look white, which these don't...

The LED light panel(s) they are using does horrible things to the model's iris!

Actually almost all my Canon purchases since have been from the Canon refurbished store. When they have a sale, I can get basically a brand new camera/lens with a full factory warranty for less ...

I 3rd the SL1.  I love it for what it is when I don't need or want to lug around my 1DX. John
