    What's the purpose/market of the 400mm f4 IS DO II?

    Dear CR members, I don't quite understand the reason of the existence for this lens. Sure it's nicely designed, weather sealed and doesn't change size, a bit shorter and lighter than a conventional designed lens, but for a walk around super tele lens it's still pretty bulky and heavy and...

    7D II vs SL1/100D?

    Hello Forum, as quickly as the posting here appeared about the "complete photography bundle", it also disappeared again, as soon as the 5 day sale finished. Strange. Anyway, are there any more impressions or feedback on the quality and quantity of the included content?

    In Japan: Where to buy Canon gear?

    Hello, We're traveling throughout the sacred grounds of Canon and look for the best prices on Canon SLRs + lenses. Wandering around Shinjuku (Tokyo) we saw prices similar to the US. At times CPW is even cheaper for some lenses (naming the popular 100-400 L II...) Extra savings on no-tax...

    Dust inside Canon 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 L II (?)

    Hello everyone, It doesn't pump anymore but still extends/retracts, unlike for example the 70-200mm, 200-400mm zooms... Not beating around the bush, what's the deal with internal dust? This thread is for every owner of the recently released successor of the 'dust pump', who uses the lens a...

    Canon EF-S 55-25mm IS STM vs EF 200mm 2.8L II

    Dear Canonrumors Forum, I've been spending a great deal of time trying to decide between these two lenses, which on the first look couldn't be more different in their features, but somehow both match the requirements for the usage I intend: I'm searching for a small(ish) and relative light...
