Hi guys, I've been asked to video a friend's wedding in a few weeks, so I have purchased a cheap stereo mic from Ebay. It's a SG-108. I think it doesn't work, as the on switch is a bit iffy, but how can I tell on a 5d iii if the mic is working and the sound isn't coming from the in-camera mic...

Hi guys, We had a great storm last night with loads of lightning. I tried to take some shots but nothing came out. I have a 7d and a 5diii at my disposal along with a canon 24-70, 70-200 is I and a tammy 150-600. I was using the 7d and 24-70 last night. Could anyone please let me know what...

Hi guys, I've recently purchased a 5DIII, to get some practice in before my holiday as the 7D2 won't be ready in time. I was wondering what the performance difference was when shooting CF vs SD, what with the dual slots. I've got some OK speed (266x and 600x) CF cards and some OK speed SD...

Hi guys, I've done it. Placed my order for the mighty 150-600 last night, hopefully it should arrive before September. There aren't many (good) 95mm filters arround and all are pretty expensive, I know there are cheaper non-branded, but I want a good quality filter for wildlife shots. So...

Hi, I'm thinking of going for rechargeable batteries as it's good for the trees and bunnies, and in the longer term, my wallet. There's been quite a bit of talk about Sanyo Eneloop batteries bering the way forward, but I'm not sure which ones to get. The options I have found are 1900mAh...

Hi guys, the ISS is flying over my house tonight and I really would like to get a shot or two of it. I have at my disposal a 5D2 and a 7D, a 70-200 2.8 IS2 and a tripod. Which of the cameras should I use? Is it best to go for IQ/ISO over reach? Many thanks, Grant :)

Hi guys, I appreciate that this is a bit early, and there is still a chance the mythical 7DII might appear, but I'm starting to draw up a list of camera gear for my safari in September. Last time we took a 7D, 2x60D and a 40D, coupled to a 100-400, 70-200 2.8II and a 24-70 each, giving us wide...

Hi, My wife and I do a bit of wedding photography, and have been using remote flashes for a while for some great shots. She shoots 7D and I shoot a 5D II. We use the Yongnuo 622C wireless Tx/Rx boxes, one on the camera and one per remote flash. We use a mixture of Canon 430 EXII and Yongnuo...

from B&H... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1029031-REG/canon_9337b001_powershot_d30_waterproof_digital.html Apart from being able to dive deeper and few more "kids modes", this looks like same as the D20. Same fps, same ISO, same lens, same HD video, same 12mp sensor, same DIGIC 4...

Hi all, bit of a random question, but is anyone aware of any companies that can upgrade cameras? I drive a TDI Golf, and recently bought a "boost box" that gives it more power / better fuel economy (depending how heavy my right foot is), and it got me thinking, could I do the same (or similar)...

Ok, American camera gear isn't dodgy, it's all totally ligitimate, BUT it's a hell of a lot cheaper than it is in the UK (less that $ for £ in many cases)! My question is, now that I have got your attention, "Is there any risk of buying Canon cameras and lenses in America when I live in...

Hi all, my wife has bought a 100mm 2.8L IS USM Macor lens for her wedding photography - nice closeups on the rings and a good lens in general. She has a habit of using lenses as battering rams and not using lens hoods "because they are fiddly". It takes a 67mm filter. She is insistant on...

Hi guys, I'm looking at getting my 40D converted to IR so that i can get some nighttime snaps on animals on safari next year, as we're doing a couple of night drives and for obvious reasons can't use white light. I've found a couple of reputable companies in the UK that can do the IR...

It's for charity... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24458783 and people are saying $4K for a lens is a lot! ;-)

Just wondering if anyone as heard anything regarding a update for the Powershot D20? I appreciate that it's a bit specialist, but I'm interested to find out if anyone truly believes that Canon wil be releasing an update to this underwater camera next year, as I have a bit of a diving holiday...
