Software & Accessories / Photoshop CC Released Today

« on: June 17, 2013, 02:43:46 AM »

That's right people, it's the 17th June. The day that it is widely reported to be the big day.




For those waiting to get hold of the trial and see what it's like, not to mention that deblurring filter we were teased with last year, keep an eye on the Adobe page for the trial to appear.




Enjoy!

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Worth getting an SD card for 5D3?

« on: June 11, 2013, 11:54:08 AM »

So my new camera is on the wagon to me now.


I've got a 16Gb CF that's currently in my 5D2 which, naturally, will be moving into my 5D3.


Given the confusion of card reading speeds and settings changing due to cards being pulled in and out (that have different settings for each), is there any real benefit to using an SD apart from backing up?


I can't say I've ever wished for a second slot for either type in my 5D2, even while knowing that the 5D3 has the capability.




Also, would anyone recommend using JUST an SD as they are quite a bit cheaper?

Pricewatch Deals / E-Infinity

Are they still around?


I've seen a couple of good reviews but not quite enough to be sure of using them.




Has anyone used them recently?

Looks like a cool piece of gear.


I can't think of what I would use it for, but I thought some of you might want to see it.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Canon 5D Mk3 Reliability

« on: May 22, 2013, 10:50:55 PM »

Seriously thinking of selling my 5D Mk2 now that I can get a Mk3 for around £1800.


The 1DX just isn't realistic for me given the price and the Mk3 has advantages for what i shoot. The question isn't whether I want one regarding its features. I think it would be a great upgrade now.


Anyhoo, I'm seeing issues regarding reliability popping up on this and other forums regarding issues with it.


I'm concerned that I'll be going from the 5D Mk2, which is pretty much bullet-proof at this point due to how long they've been making them, to something that might let me down due to teething problems which seem to persist over a year since it was released.




Your thoughts, please?

Software & Accessories / Looks like we'll actually get it soon!

« on: April 17, 2013, 01:59:13 PM »

Remember that sneak peak feature that Adobe teased us with a while back? The one that made people go: "no way!"?


Well, it's looking a lot like we're finally going to see it in PS CS7

Also note the "Adobe Camera Raw Filter" in the menu too.

United Kingdom & Ireland / Camera Insurance (U.K.)

« on: April 11, 2013, 04:14:09 PM »

Was just reading the other thread on this subject and wondered if anyone had any recommendations as to a U.K. company.


I really should get this done as I added my gear up and it came to over £6,000 and methinks I should get my arse moving.




Anyone?




Thanks.

Software & Accessories / Rucksack Camera Bags

« on: January 23, 2013, 09:30:33 PM »

Lets talk about which bags rock.




I'm currently liking the look of this:





It's the Lowepro Fastpack 250.




The thing I'm not sure about though, is the security aspect of it. It sure does look easy for someone steal the cameraout of the side pocket in the street.


Does anyone have any experience of either the 250 or 350 version?




Another problem with this and most camera bags is that they look like camera bags and therefore advertise that expensive equipment is within.




So which bags are good from a security point of view?




Your thoughts?

Canon General / Got a problem...

« on: November 11, 2011, 08:08:24 PM »

Hello peeps.




I've got a G12, only 3 months old and I just wondered if anyone had encountered this issue before:









Normally, I'd just take it back to the shop. Trouble is, mine came from Canada and I'm in England.


It would be possible to return it as I got it through my GF's family who live out there and she's going back at Christmas.




The thing is, it seems to be an intermittent fault. It works fine with video too. Weird.






Can anyone shed some light on this as to whether it is a simple fix that would be worth getting done locally? Or is it screwed and I'm going to have to send it back? (The warranty only covers Canada and the U.S.A.)




Any advice would be appreciated.


Thanks




Harry.
