I use Photoshop. I did try Lightroom and found that it wanted to rule my life. Refusing to allow this or that and generally trying to force me into certain decisions against my wishes. Theres no way I will ever tolerate that kind of thing, from people or machinery! I will do things my way and...

I use a Canon 24-70L as my standard lens, but in truth my natural eye tends towards 70mm rather than wider. Only rarely do I use my 16-35.

Re: Dual ISO Makes its Way to the EOS 5D Mark II & EOS 6D Does this mean that Canon will introduce it, or is it going to remain a third party software trick?

I simply place my tripod and monopod into the centre of my clothing when packing my case, the idea is to cushion any impact the case takes. That's the complete items, ballheads and all.

I love the image accompanying the headline of this rumour, the IDs is not dead!

I use a Gretamacbeth Eye-one display 2 and its been fine. But I have no idea what type of monitor I've got, its a SyncMaster and all it tells me under properties is that its a generic PnP monitor.

I'm happy to chat, about anything! So chat about gear does not bother me one jot. Why would it? I don't feel defensive about my own choices even if they are not others first choice. Eg: I tend to shoot longer focal lengths than others, because I think in those terms. Others might want extreme...

Its great news, and about time Canon woke up to the advances being made by Sony and Nikon. I hope its the long awaited replacement for the 1Ds3, a high MP camera with award winning DR and noise control in a 1Ds style body. That's why I've stuck with my 5d2, in the hope that Canon would...

Just another opinion. I love the 100-400 push/pull :) Me too.

Re: Canon L Glass costs over $1200 / pound I knew an electrical engineer who priced the electrical installation in new schools by the number of toilets shown on the plans. It was a nightmare working out the schedule of rates for extras when his jobs were accepted. It did seem to work, weird...

My 16-35 is my least used lens by some margin. It me entirely - I've discovered I simply look at the world in terms of telephoto lenses, not wide angle.

Years ago I spent a very wet weekend shooting MotoGP and simply used a large clear plastic bag, taped the lens hood to it so that the front of the lens was exposed and my hands and the camera where protected. It worked extremely well, better than I ever imagined it would. And trust me, it was...

I'm constantly reading that Canon are beating Nikon but I don't see any evidence. I know I read that Nikon took 40% of the whole dSLR market in the UK last year, which is pretty good! Also don't forget that those of us with money invested in Canon lenses are less likely to switch to Nikon and...

Its about time Canon responded to the Nikon D800 and D800E. This fixation with high ISO, low DR, and high noise needs to stop. We need a quality camera to bring back the 1Ds range, a camera that is best in class. For whatever reason Canon have been asleep at the wheel for a while now and its...

The "trick" is to have the bag just touching the ground, or hung using a bungy cord. That way the tripod is pulled down to steady it and the bag cannot sway about.

The 5D Mark III is a magnesium-alloy body. That means to make it look black it needs to be painted. If you rub any metal that has been painted for long enough against clothing, the paint will eventually wear away and show metal underneath. I would expect them to have a black anodised finish...

I've read in the last day or so that Nikon took 40 plus percent of the UK market in dSLR's last year. That's a pretty good batting average! I don't know how much of the total market is taken by the smaller players, but I'm prepared to bet that Canon cannot have done as well.

Canon isn't ignoring their minority customer base. I think they have heard loud and clear, they simply need time to produce a compelling product. Bear in mind that they led the sensor race by a country mile a while back. They have just been ignoring that side of things and are now paying the...

Well, for one, you are assuming Brand B makes a camera "at least as good". Consumer sentiment would indicate otherwise. Brand B certainly has a better image sensor...but its camera has a variety of issues, say, with white balance, LCD screen rendition, AF system, buffer unload rate, etc. Brand B...
