    6D question

    Based on the worlds fastest growing thread I thought this question would get lost in the 26 pages...... 1/4000sec shutter speed I saw some complain that its not nearly fast enough. I currently own a 450D and that is my max and I can't even think of the times I've gotten that high. Is it...

    Pre digital days, please shed some light for me

    my first real SLR that I bought was the 450D, so before the age of digital how did Canon differentiate its model line up feature wise? I mean back say year 1998 the determiner of IQ was the lens and film and the paper that it was printed on. My point is, why have so many sensors across a...

    Softbox vs omni bounce or pocket bounce? for outdoor portraits

    I'm ordering a Younguno 565EX today, and have heard I should have a sto-fen omni bounce, which to my understanding is just to bounce the light off the ceiling while making it softer. Now I'm going to be shooting people outdoors for family photos and wondered if I should also get a soft box...
