<p>Keith at Northlight has been using the a preproduction version of the new printer, and has completed his review of the new 17″ Epson.</p>
<blockquote><p>This printer has been long expected, and perhaps some will be disappointed that it doesn’t make a stronger break with the past. It’s definitely an evolution of the 3880, but I’m inclined to say, a rather good one.</p>
<p>When looking at the SC-P600 earlier this year, and now the P800, I realised that we are at a stage where it’s largely going to be your photographic skill and ability to process/edit files that make the big jumps in how good your prints look. The P800 will show up deficiencies in your photography much more readily than your work will show the printer’s.</p></blockquote>

<p>We’re told that the EOS 6D Mark II will not come until after the EOS 5D Mark IV begins shipping, which will be into the first quarter of 2016. This would follow the same timeline as the EOS 5D Mark III & EOS 6D announcement.</p>
<p>The EOS 6D Mark II will have a slightly smaller and lighter body. It’s suggested we may actually see it use a different battery than the LP-E6/E6n to help with weight reduction. There won’t be any radical changes to the body such as an EVF or articulating LCD. Expect the megapixel count to rise, but not above 24mp. It’s likely the EOS 6D Mark II will have its own sensor just like the original camera.</p>
<p>We’ve received very little about this camera over the last few months, so I suspect the timeline for an announcement is accurate.</p>

I don't normally use speedlites because I do a lot of school sports and landscape but recently I was shooting family pictures at a family ceremony and I left the ISO in AUTO and later realized that the camera always set the ISO to 400 regardless I was indoor or outdoor or at any different level of ambient light. It resulted in many overexpossed outdoor pictures and many underexpossed indoor pictures. Shouldn't the camera increase or decrease the ISO automatically to match the ambient conditions for overall exposure?
I have tried to find information on the users manual and couldn't find why my camera does that and how to improve this situation. My camera body is 5D Mark III

Support is very appreciated.

Out of pure curiosity, what are the chances Canon might replace the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II with a 70-300 f/2.8 IS in a few years when the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II is due for a refresh?

Will a USB cord be able to charge the camera? The USB cord from my GPS is able to transfer photo into my computer, but can it also charge the camera?

How do I disable the digital zoom function? I notice the digital zoom starts to kick in once I go over 8x, it's getting annoying because I have to keep looking back to the zoom value to make sure I don't go over 8x.

Is there a forum or section on this forum devoted entirely to this ELPH135?

My son has recently become interested in photography and started to put together his equipment list.
He bought a 5DMkII used but now he wants a telephoto. He asked me to make a recommendation between
a new 70-200 f4.0 L and a used 70-200 f2.8L (not the version II). He looked at the f2.8 and it looks brand
new or at least seldom used and both are priced about the same at $1100. He wants it primarily for youth
soccer games, usually played outside in California sunshine. I advised him to get the new f4.0 because he
didn't need the speed and it was considerably lighter for outdoor non-tripod use. Any comments?

Hello!

I've been working on a project where I shoot video at 50 fps, mainly at dawn and dusk, for a while. I've now more or less decided that my 7D have too many downsides and would like to shoot the last third of the project with a better camera. I want better picture quality (1080 at 50/60 fps will give this?), better low light capability and want to get rid of the aliasing / moire.

How much is the 7D Mark II improved from 7D in the areas that I need improvement? I've been reading some reviews etc but it's quite hard to get a good overview. I've heard a lot of good things about the Sony A7 and the Panasonic GH4, how do they compare to the 7D Mark II in the areas that matter for my project?

Thanks a lot

Hello,

I want to kindly ask for help. I am upgrading from 600D, which I broke :

I am deciding between 70D and new 760D. For me it is 300 USD prize diffence in favor to the 760D. I shoot fast objects mainly (planes, cars, trains). I shoot other also (like portraits, or landscape), but it is minor. I have 50mm f/1.8 lens and 70-200 f/4 L lens.

I want for the camer to have precise AF for photos as I don´t shoot videos at all. I don´t need Wifi, NFC or other fancy things

I want mainly IQ, precise AF and long battery life in that prize range

I have doubts about 70D since I saw some "issue" threads, but also on 760D, since it is all new and don´t know, what it will be like. I have some time to wait, but I need new camera by the end of the May.

Thank you very much for help

This was a cool little resourse to visit websites back in the early internet. Want to see what the press release for the original D30 was? Check it out, and reflect on how much personal digital imaging has changed... Even though I still have a D30.

http://web.archive.org/web/20001007140700/http://www.usa.canon.com/press/051700a.html

If you see an old canon camera you used, link it and we can revel in its antiqued glory.

Just sold canon 100-400. L need advice from respected members, on sigma 120 -300
Is it good enough.

Mitch.Conner · Apr 18, 2015

I've noticed that when I use my 70-200/2.8 IS II, I almost exclusively use it at 70mm or 200mm. I'm wondering if maybe it might be worthwhile to save up and eventually sell it to be replaced with 2 primes, the 85/1.2L and 200/2L.

Would this be a mistake?

Have just had email confirmation that the new ground breaking enthusiast Rebel T6i camera with its onboard WiFi and top mounted LCD has arrived ahead of schedule. Was due in 2 weeks but a select few have some stock http://which-canon-camera.com/release-of-canon-rebel-t6i-stock-available/

Well I took the plunge and upgraded my lighting. Sold some stuff..found a couple great deals and ended up with a couple 600 exrt's and a ste3. I have bounced flash inside (every once in awhile using a light sphere) and used fill flash on AV for a long time. I have gelled a flash a couple of times too. However, with the new flashes I was thinking of trying to up my game a bit. I'm looking for an initial set up for portraits…outdoor and indoor…that includes these flashes. I've been reading on this forum and some others and looked at strobist as well. I was considering a couple set ups and wondered what people thought.
1)BH Westcott 43" apollo orb speed light kit. Add a phottix multi boom maybe? or some other boom?
2)Impact 7' parabolic umbrella (white diffusion) with light stand kit. would need some sort of boom as well
add some sandbags as well

These are both…with some sort of boom…around the $200 mark I think. I was wondering if people thought either of these were any good or if there were any other ideas that folks had. #1

If you've seen my postings on the forums, you know I don't take DXO too seriously. When someone says the same lens is disappointing on one body and is best-in-class on another, they are generally more a source of giggles than useful info.

All. that. said. My daily vigil begins, feel free to bookmark and do the same:
http://www.dxomark.com/Cameras/Compare/Side-by-side/Canon-EOS-5DS-versus-Canon-EOS-5DS-R___1008_1009

Hate DXO or love DXO, I am hard pressed to think of another reviewing institution that inspires such chaos, bile and frenzy in the photography forum world as these folks. No matter what they say about the 5DS, the photography world will be alight with all sorts of crazy after their take on the 5DS rigs is unveiled. Personally, I'm hoping for a great zingers like:

"The 5DS comes ever so close to outperforming the D7200"

"This landscape and studio camera really underdelivers at ISO 10,000."

"Canon finally delivers great resolution, but we don't give high marks for that anymore. Did we mention our brand new scoring system?"

I just realized that my daughter is avoiding me coming to her graduation day after. She was telling her mother "He will bring his big camera and everyone will look at me." Ouch.

<p>For the parts of the planet that actually get the opportunity to buy the brand new Canon EOS M3, this is a worthwhile read. For the rest of us, we’re going to have to decide if we want to buy a “grey market” M3.</p>
<p>Dan Berdal of DnK Photography has done a very “real world” review of the little camera and compared it to his workhorse, the EOS 5D Mark III.</p>
<blockquote><p>Mirrorless cameras are the future of photography. At some point the bulk of a camera like the 5dmkiii + high end lens makes you a worse photographer. If you’re serious about photography, but your current camera is so big that you don’t use it, then this is a great option. Personally I think that this camera will be a great walk around camera. The image quality is more than sufficient for capturing life memories and travel shots.</p></blockquote>

I used Focal to check the AMF on my 70-200 F/2.8 L IS II USM and then tried again with the TC. With the lens on it's own I got a reading of -2. However, with the TC I got an expected reading of -29 and an error. It finally decided on -19 when I told it to continue within the camera's limits. I had noticed that my photos were getting pretty soft lately which is why I tried Focal. Is it possible to get the TC looked at/fixed or should I consign it to the bin?

toutou · Apr 16, 2015

Hi,

I'm going on holiday in Ethiopia for 2 weeks in a week and I'm taking my 600D, the kit 18-55 and the 75-300 lens (canon). They're all in good condition but I've had the 600D for I think 3 years now (don't remember the exact purchase date at the moment). I know this isn't an expensive kit, but if it got lost/stolen/etc. it would be rather annoying and it would be good to get at least some kind help towards buying a new kit.

So I wonder if it's worth getting an insurance for this or if that's even possible. I've seen various policies were your item can't be older than 3 years (my camera might be, not 100% sure and can't check right now) and you need proof of purchase in your country of residence. I live in the UK but the equipment was bought new on Amazon in another EU country where I'm from and I think they might have been bought with my dad's card. So well, not so easy.

Does anyone have experience with this? Is it worth it in my case?

Thanks!

NoSoup · Apr 15, 2015

Do I need to rent a backup body and lens for indoor wedding photography? I was asked by the bride (a good friend) to be the primary photographer. Perhaps, I should rent a Canon 5D mkIII and the Canon 24-70L II, or Sigma Art 50mm, or Sigma Art 35mm?

Currently I own a 5D mkII, 24-105L, 70-200L IS II, 100L, Canon 50mm f/1.8 (first version 1987), Samyang 14mm, and Canon 580EX II.

Thanks all

marcm1 · Apr 15, 2015

Ok I have a 5dMrkIII, 24-70 2.8 IIL canon, 70-200 2.8 IIL canon, 16-35 2.8 IIL canon lenses, I am finding that when I go and take pictures of my daughter and like senior pictures of friends kids they are wanting a lot of focused up close and boken behind, SOOOOO we have Canon 50 1.2L lens and the Sigma 50 1.4 art lens. I really don't know how much I will use this lens so I don't know if spending 1500.00 on the canon is worth the money I'm spending.
I'm looking for any suggestions on these lenses from people who have them and looking for real world testing is the Sigma for the 950.00 or so the best buy of the two? I'm not so much worried about how I have read that the auto focus on the sigma is not quite up to the canons yet, but anyway just looking for any suggestions to a person who is not really anything more than a casual user to all of this.

Thanks!!!

Browsing through some back issues of Outdoor Photographer (October 2014, page 48), I found this sidebar in an article about Art Wolfe's retrospective work. Always been one of my all-time favorites. His choice of gear is interesting, and his comment about the "doctor" is even more interesting.

Hi guys,

every now and then I see a thread like this with interesting photo-travel tips and so now I thought it would be a good idea to consult with you, because after some time I'm looking forward a short vacation trip with friends and my first visit of Barcelona. It will be in late April, 4days, two couples (not really a group of photo enthusiasts, so I'm not going to make it a main objective), I expect some nice architecture (I thought it would be a nice place to try TS-E, but I'm afraid I won't be able rent it anywhere around), I look forward the sea side (a walk on the promenade, beach, marina) and (hopefully) nice, warm weather for a change

... so, should you have some tips for us, I would like to read them and would appreciate

Thank you!

There's a like new mkii version for sale locally... I think I can probably get the price to $900 or $950, but obviously the f4 version is widely lauded for roughly the same price.

Here's the rub... I don't like wide angle photography, so I would only rarely use it... But let's not go into that. For the same money... Would the f2.8 mkii version be a better purchase than the f4?
