Yes it detected my kiss x4.
Shoot! Have you checked driver versions between the Win8 machine which recognises your 5D3 and this one? May be uninstall the driver and reinstall? Something must be conflicting with it. I guess you probably already checked to see if there was a conflict showing up on the driver... Sorry cant think of anything else.  :)

So if your not sure when you are going to use them next, at least charge them to full?, instead of leaving them empty?
I always charge them up. Also helps to tag them into sets so you can rotate them...

Small f number, or in other words a high aperture, allowing you to shoot with lower iso or exposure time.
Yup! Fast lens...

!!! I've just circled back to this thread....
Eleven pages on the new lens caps?
Must be a slow news week.

Week and month... I guess there can't be any DR battles here so that probably another reason. And with the quips it is entertaining.

In data acquisition I have one rule: NEVER ever throw away the original data.
+1

Unless you don't want the data...

What exactly is a "light sensitive" lens?  I don't think I've seen that term in this context before.
He means small f number...

What about the 40mm pancake?  At 2.8 its just one stop slower than your 135.  Unless you're already shooting at iso 12800, you can easily make up that one stop with ISO on the MKIII.  The lens is small, light and produces great colors and contrast.   And its DIRT CHEAP. 

If you're stuck on a zoom, what is wrong with the 24-105?  again, with the ISO peformance of the MKIII I have not seen problems using this lens in most indoor places.  Maybe a dark restaraunt or some place with 'mood lighting' would be an issue, but usually you have more control of the lights in your own home. 
My thoughts exactly! Those are the lenses I used. Now since have the 100L macro which is a f2.8, I have one more option for low light.

Technical Support / Re: Missing Images from 5D Mark III CF Card
« on: November 10, 2012, 09:54:46 AM »
Usually missing images are a issue with a card reader that does not recognize udma7 or some other incompatability.
Put the CF card in the camera and see if the images are really there.  A number of people have had issues with their card readers and udma 7 cards.  Apparently one of the early usb3 readers had issues and a firmware update fixes it.
Good point. I always download my images directly from camera via the EOS utility. Why don't you try that...

I have done a clean install of the old version and newest version.  I have uninstalled FOcal as well to see if it was interfering with the EOS utility, but no dice.

I have tried all the USB ports on my machine as well.
Does the EOS utility detect any other camera?

I printed a pic taken with my 300D (6MP 3096x2048) on to A3 and I thought it came out fine. Used it as a calendar...
So you get a perspective of the viewing distance too.

Briansquibb was doing 10 posts a day until last month. He seems to have dropped off the earth.


maybe he finally got a life?
I need to get one too - I seem to be spending too much time on threads regarding DxO and lens caps :-\

Shoot in RAW. 

If you don't, no one will ever love you, and your doggy will die.

Convinced?
What if he has a cat?





Cats have 9 lives ;D
Mine has used up one. So I am taking no chances and shooting in RAW ;)

Yep the mega pixel camera is just around the corner. Tomorrow in fact!

They built it specifically for the new lens cap. LOL.

Gotta love Canon, they've got their priorities right.

Take one look at ebay, craigslist, gumtree or most classified ads.
What cameras are being sold? Canons and Canon lenses. I wonder why? Nikon started something.

Never been a better time to buy Canon gear secondhand.
Just like Paul Revere..."The Megapixels are coming!"  ;D
But when? You should be posting this message just as the shipments are nearing the port... ;)
