    Canon 600EX-RT Battery door replacement instructions?

    I have to replace the battery door on my flash (Long fall off a tall lightstand) and purchased the replacement door direct from Canon USA. However, it looks like it fits over a pin as a hinge, and, not sure how to get it out of damaged flash unit. All the videos on Youtube are for Yongnuo door...

    Insurance recommendation: ? anyone have experience with "FullFrame"

    I think I had seen this comment before when I searched the posts. a few years back I had a storm damage claim and a jewelry claim on my homeowner's policy; I didn't want to jeopardize my coverage, so I moved the jewelry to its own policy.

    Insurance recommendation: ? anyone have experience with "FullFrame"

    Saw an ad on one of the photo sites about "FullFrame" insurance; it's 99/year for liabiliy, and ~152/year for $20,000 of equipment coverage. This is about half of what I had seen before. Since i'm an occasional compensated photographer, this is appealing. But, maybe it's a scam or they make...

    Sony announces new CMOS Image Sensors with Global Shutter

    I don't know why anyone would jump ship to Sony over this- this is for "Industrial applications"- like product inspection imaging, etc. doesn't say anything about availability on a consumer camera. Also, it's a 5 megapixel sensor (or 3.5 for the other version) this makes sense, because they...

    Is their a name for this "style" of photography?

    I'd almost call it "LDR" for Low Dynamic Range... because it's almost the opposite- letting the highlights saturate, and almost nothing in the darks...

    POLL: What's more important, gps or wifi?

    I could really use WIFI with my 5D mk III for several reasons- * Product Photography for my wife's Ebay - the "studio" is on another floor, and to have the photos uploaded automatically would be very helpful * Remote control / IPAD - Given that it may not fit in the body or drain power too...

    What's the best deal you've ever gotten on a lens?

    My son got the best deal- he was working at a rummage sale, and there were a bunch of old style TV's (not LCD) along with some old camera equipment. There was a Pentax ~50mm 1.8 lens, that went unsold, so they gave it to him. Since it wouldn't fit our Canons, it went on EBAY and sold for $140...
