Shutter Issue with 5D Mk3

Hi All,
I am loving my new 5D Mk3 but am having a slight issue. Every now and again when I'm firing off multiple shots in a row, I will hear the shutter "stick" almost as if the shutter speed was somehow slowed down for one shot. I also notice the red light holding steady until the shutter releases again. Strangely enough, though the exposure of the affected shot does not seem off. Not sure if I'm explaining this correctly, but if anyone knows what might be happening, please enlighten me.

I am using Sandisk Extreme CF and SD cards with 60 mb/s write speed.

Thanks!

Canon EF 28-135mm

I have a question about this kit lens that came with my EOS 7D. The lens is very lose in the since that it will fully extend on it's own weight when I hold it vertically. It does it by itself and when mounted to my camera. Pretty annoying. Switching between manual or auto focus doesn't fix it. As it is, i'm still undecided on this lens. If this is a defect does anyone here know how to tighten it or should I take it to a repair shop?

I must be missing something here or perhaps I don't understand the idea behind MAP.

What on earth would incent a retailer to carry Canon gear if they have no control over the pricing of their inventory?

EF-M 55mm f/1.3 Coming in 2013? [CR1]

<p><strong>Announcement on March 26, 2013?

</strong>I was recently told that a new 55mm f/1.3 lens would be announced on March 26, 2013. This is the first time I have ever seen an announcement date called this far off. Although, I tend to believe something is probably going to happen in March of 2013. I find it odd that Canon won’t be doing the <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2012/10/canon-eos-5d-mark-iii-firmware-adds-hdmi-af-upgrades/" target="_blank">announced firmware</a> for the 5D Mark III until April 2013, I’m not sure if that’s tied to other new products coming.</p>
<p>As for the lens, it wasn’t specified if it was EF or EF-M mount, I have just assumed it would be EF-M. For arguments sake, that would give an approximate field of view of 90mm f/1.3. A nice portrait lens for the new system.</p>

"Affordable" telephoto lens for wildlife

V
Hello, I need some advice on an "affordable" telephoto lens which will be used primarily for wildlife. initially I will be shooting birds and other animals within the parks in the New York city area, later on I plan to head upsate to see if I can find raptors (owls, hawks, eagles, etc). I currently have the EF70-300mm and unless I am shooting with very bright light it does not give me the sharpness that I would like.

I tried the 100-400L earlier this summer and it appears to be a decent lens
other lenses that look good on paper (price and features) are the 300F4 and the 400F5.6.
I am also considering the 70-200f2.8 ISII and a 2x converter

Does anyone have any opinion on choosing between the above mentioned lenses, or even to propose another lens/combo at a similar price range? AS far as bodies are concerned... either 5D3 or 7D... still debating on that one....

<strong>Official Numbers are in


</strong>For the people that like the numbers game, DXOMark has released their official score for the Canon EOS-1D X.</p>
<p>The numbers don’t look too bad, though they don’t tell the whole story about the EOS-1D X. I think it’s currently the best DSLR as a whole currently on the market, unless you want the big resolution of the D800.</p>

Hands-On Review of SX50 & Wish I'd Had it for Sandy!!!

H and B Digital
Here's a link http://tinyurl.com/csaas7e to my hands-on review of the PowerShot SX50 on H and B Digital's blog (our website is http://www.handbdigital.com/).

I wrote this last week, well before Hurricane Sandy. I live in Lower Manhattan, and wish I had one of these little buggers during the storm. Instead, I was lugging around my 7D with the 24-70 f/2.8, my 20D with the 17-35 f/2.8, and the 70-200 f/2.8 IS II and a flash in the bag--along with rain covers to attempt to keep the above dry (they were fine inside my Domke F1-X bag). I went back out later without the above and just my S95, nowhere near the SX50's zoom capacity. Although the SX50 isn't waterproof and not comparable to the 7D or other EOS bodies in terms of image quality, running around with that amazing zoom range and not worrying about $1000's of dollars in gear would have been great.

I'll hopefully be posting photos from Sandy on our blog later today (I'm still without power at home, but our store is open.)

Cheers,
Dan at H and B Digital.com

Any rumors on updates for the MT-24EX twin macro flash unit?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

First and foremost, thanks for such a superb resource of information! I am about to fork out some cash to get a MT-24EX twin macro flash unit, but given that it has been a while since it was released I was wondering if anyone heard anything about some newer release? Its documentation still talks about the 550EX...

Cheers,

JVc

See comments…

OK, OK.

I know that we are dealing with hypotheticals but lets go with some assumptions:

- Image quality is somewhere 10-15% either side of the 24-70 f/2.8L II. I have to say this because of the variation in the 24-70L II. It is possible that a single 24-70L f/4 IS could be both 10% better and worse than the 24-70mm f/2.8L.
- In particular the distortion from the 24-105 is eased, especially at the wide end
- The lens has 4-5 stop IS

focusing accuracy/repeatability on 50mm

C
I'm not all that thrilled with the focusing accuracy or of the 50mm f/1.4 USM.
I tend to shoot that lens at about f/2.0 most of time. Closed just enough to control the creaminess at f/1.4.
And its a tough thing to get it to focus where I like.

So the question is - does the 50mm f/1.2L do any better with focus? I'd probably be shooting it wide open, or just a hair closed as well.

Thanks for the input!~

EOS 7D producing a yellow tint in video mode?

Hi Guys..

Quick question.
have anyone noticed their 7D is producing a slight yellow tint in video mode?

I'm currently on a shoot where we have another 7D and when I sat down and looked through the video there was a clearly visible difference between the two cameras.

Shooting with Zeiss ZF lenses at 1080P 24fps, 1/50, f. 2.8 WB 3100 on both cameras.

- At first I thought it was the lens, so I tried and change between the two camera - no luck.
- Thought it might be the new 2.0 firmware as the other camera is running an older one. So tried upgrading to 2.0.3 - no luck.
- I went through all settings on both camera and made sure they were equal - no luck.

Have any of you experiences any color problems after the 2.0.X FM upgrade?
