I am wondering what is speedlight (especially Canon 580 EXII) resource and whether it is possible to see how many shots were already made.

Software & Accessories / Photo storage facility
« on: January 29, 2013, 08:06:53 AM »
I just noticed that Nikon released service, which provides free 2GB of storage space to everyone and free 20GB if you have Nikon camera. Link is here: http://info.nikonimagespace.com/en_00/welcome.html.
It is interesting whether Canon is going to release such service as well? Currently Canon and Nikon are almost equal competitors, but they are competing in gear area. I always considered Canon as more superior comparing to Nikon, however, I am a bit disappointed that Canon is starting to slightly loose competition to Nikon as it seems that Nikon's marketing guys have more brains. I would really expect Canon to make more investments in R&D, review their pricing strategy and start to remember that we are living in internet age (it seems that Nikon understood that firstly).
It is always better to be market maker and form trends rather than to be simple follower. What is your view on such matters?

Canon General / Why did you choose Canon?
« on: January 26, 2013, 01:42:42 PM »
It is interesting to hear stories why people choose Canon when there are a lot of other firms? Nikon, Pentax, Sony...
I personally was always interested in photography and was shooting quite a lot when I was young with analog cameras Smena and Zenit- E (Soviet type cameras). My first digital camera was P&S Sony bought in 2004, however, i was not satisfied with its quality (at that time analog cameras quality was much better than digital).
In 2007 I acquired Canon G7 which was able to produce better quality photos comparing to other P&S cameras. Finally in 2012 I decided to buy DSLR and definitely choose Canon as they had more attractive design comparing to Nikon and much bigger variety of lenses (I always admired L class white lenses, which in my mind was always associated with superb quality). I never Pentax, Sony or other firms. Currently I am happy with my EOS 7D, however, have plans to move to FF (of course, that would by 5D Mark III). That's why my almost all lenses (except for EF-S 18-135) are compatible with FF cameras.

Software & Accessories / Reikan FoCal not compatible with Win 8
« on: January 13, 2013, 07:29:37 AM »
I had intentions to buy Reikan FoCal for my lens calibration, however, by reading descriptions in their website I found out that this software is not compatible with Windows 8 version. Here it is extract from Reikan's official website:
"At present FoCal is only available for computers running Windows XP (SP3) and Windows 7 operating systems.
Windows 8 is not officially supported but does work with Nikon cameras. We will be testing with Windows 8 very shortly and assuming the manufacturer driver support is operational we hope to have a release formally approved for Windows 8 by Early 2013."
Previously i noticed in some tread (which somehow I could not find) that people were complaining that Reikan FoCal software is not working in 8 platform. It seems taht all of us will have to wait until release of new and compatible software version. I hope that this information will be useful to some of you.
