    SmallRig on M5

    I just got a smallrig cage today for the M5/M50 and i must say...it gives the camera the grip it should have had from the beginning... now it balances great with the ef-s 15-85 and i can hold even the sigma 150-600 with it, although i wouldn't let that much weight hang on the camera's mount...

    Canon 70D vs M5

    I currently have a 70D but i am almost set to get the M5 in the very near future. I know the upgrade is not significant and i'll actually lose a somewhat useful feature: setting the max shutter speed for auto ISO, but reducing the weight of my kit from the 70D+15-85 to an M5+15-45 is, IMO, a...

    70-200 f/4: IS or non-IS

    i want to get a 70-200 f/4 since i already have a 2.8 (not one that would be expected :P ) but it's too heavy for taking it backpacking. I know the IS version has a revised optical formula and from what i can tell from the IQ comparison on TDP, there is a slight advantage for the IS version, but...
