The pendulum effect is definitely worse than not having the bag there in the first place. The trick is to have the bag in contact with the ground *just* enough so that it's still pulling down on...

Definitely agree on the international distribution. There are a couple of dealers that import in bulk to the EU that get a small discount from RRS that offsets the import duty, but it's not an...

While I agree 100% with the sentiment in the first sentence, I'm going to wait and see on the second.  I was in the same position on exchanging my MkI for the MkII - even though the differences ...

AFAIK, CR is the main source and the other sites are repeating their info.  They do seem to have some sources with reliable info though, so CR3s are generally pretty accurate, although not ...

I'd have thought that the MkII would have been recent enough to be included in the on-going lens refresh for hi-res sensors Canon seems to be working on, but I guess if they think they can improve ...

Canon is another massive company that does a lot more than just cameras, or even imaging products, that often ranks near the top of the worldwide new patent lists. I don't think Sony or Panasonic...

Or more readily accessible photo-processing tools? If you have a raw image from a sensor (any sensor, whether in a camera or a phone) then there's no reason why you can't apply the same...

If you're serious about macro then you'll definitely want a true macro lens, but to get started with macro on the cheap extension tubes are a reasonable enough way to go.  They'll generally work ...

I'd add that if you are going down this route, especially for L lenses which tend to hold their value pretty well, it's also worth waiting until the lens you are planning on upgrading to is listed ...

As far as the specs go, it's still a rumour, albeit a pretty solid one. A lot of OsitaLV's information has been shown to be little more than guesswork or speculation as it often turns out to be...

I'd question that sensor being final and/or 1" too. It's hard to judge scale accurately from pictures like this, but in the second shot it looks like the entire mount is only just over an inch...

No issues here, went just as described in the PDF.  I did my update with a CF card in a 1Dx Mark I. Andy

I think some members of PETA probably do have animals' best interests at heart, but the more extreme members are just off their trolley and can't see how hypocritical the group has become. On the...

IMHO, there's mileage in both positions.  Threads where people use a camera that's long since been superceded but (surprise!) are still perfectly capable of taking compelling images pop up all the ...

John's diagnosis is correct - the camera can't talk to the lens. The usual fix is to power off, remove the lens, gently wipe down the contacts on lens and body to remove and dust and grease (a ...

It does that, but also something akin the US' Chapter 7 vs. Chapter 11, where the former is full-on sale of assets and winding up and the latter is intended as a temporary protection from creditors...

Because in this instance brand, model, and type of camera used is a completely meaningless metric. There is only one criteria that generally matters for the World Press Photo competition, and it's...

I think you're unlikely to get one of these devices with native CF support these days, unless they're specifically targetting higher-end camera users.  For better or worse SD (including mSD via SD ...

Unless you are desperate I'd hold fire a little longer on a purchase.  I've been looking for a replacement standalone on-the-go backup storage device for a while and spoke to several vendors ...

It's not the swapping of batteries that's the problem, it's the number you're currently going to go through and have to re-charge before the next shoot - which may be the following day. It's not at...
