CFast is faster than CF, but you're incorrect when it comes to XQD. CFast is based on the legacy SATA 3.0 protocol. It is nominally 6Gbps but wastes 20% of it's bandwidth with the inefficient 8b/10b encoding scheme. Thus, the maximum transfer rate is only 4.8 Gbit/s (600 MB/s). XQD on the...

I've hired the Mark I, and have owned the Mark II and Mark III. Since the Sony A7R came out I have only been using my MarkIII in situations where autofocus counts. When the A7RII comes out, if the A/F is sufficiently good with my 24-70 and 70-200 L-glass, then I'll be selling my 5DIII and...

Re: Canon EOS 5DS & EOS 5DS R Press Release "accurate colours and wide dynamic range." How accurate, and just how wide are we talking? 12 stops? 14 stops? 15? A man can dream :) Can't wait to see what DxO Labs think of this! Echoing previous posters - yes it would be very handy to have spot...

My best guess is that there is some sort of collaboration between Sony and Canon to get economies of scale and share the same 50MP sensor. http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sr4-trusted-source-i-am-99-sure-the-new-a7rii-is-coming-with-50mp-sensor/ This will put Canon back in the high MP and high DR...

Re: Introducing the Canon EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS II Nice! I think I'll offload my 70-300L. I suspect there's going to be a lot of those coming up on the second hand market!

I think the correct phrase is "Shut up and take my money!!" (adding as many exclamations as you like)

It would be nice if the reviewer actually hit focus from time to time. Sheesh. :o

I want my 135mm f/2L with added IS. Make sure it stays black for maximum stealth mode shooting street candids. Can put on a 1.4x or 2x if there's enough light for a bit more reach. I wish the extenders were black.

I applaud making it a mini 1Dx. If you don't want an integrated grip and want a mode dial then there's no reason to bitch and moan - just get a 70D and be done with it. The integrated grip and 1Dx style mode buttons will do wonders for weather sealing. When I got my 5D3 soaked in rain, I had a...

Can I attach Canon 1.4x III and 2.0x III extenders to my Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS II USM at the same time and still get AF at 560mm f/8, or is this crazy talk? Also I do a lot of Live View focusing for my landscape work, and always have the focus mode in the contrast detect "Live" mode (not...

I don't care for metal bodies. I care more for metal lenses. For bodies - I don't plan to own them for more than 5 years. Even the cheapest of plastic will hold up under those conditions. I do care for an improved sensor. I hate the 18MP cropped sensor of the current Canon crop. It has to go. I...

If Kryptonite comes from the planet Krypton, Does that mean fluorite come from the planet Fluoron? This is important stuff to me - being the superhero that I am...

Are these thicker and heavier than the old caps? If so I won't bother for most of my lens except for perhaps ones that are a bit of a pain with the hood on - I'm thinking the 100mm f/2.8 IS macro USM, and perhaps my 70-300 f/4-5.6L IS USM and 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. My wide angle and...

There would have to be the option to turn this off, because some days I would want to shoot something other than boobs...

Totally agree. That's one of the weakest "reviews" I've ever read. I have this lens and I don't find the colours as punchy as L glass. I am reaching for the vibrancy a fair bit more. Also it has horrible bokeh. Really not nice. Still it is wonderfully sharp and wonderfully light and...

I am purchasing the 24-70 II in about 2 weeks and will be taking it on a 1-week hike in mountains where it will be my only lens. I'll know it intimately by the end of that. I'll pano with Really Right Stuff on a lightweight tripod and ballhead to get more width than 24mm, when the need arises...

Every time a marketer uses the term "unleashed" or "unleashes", a cute puppy dies somewhere. Those heartless bastards!

Time to flip a coin. Left kidney is heads, right kidney is tails. ;D
