I recall reading somewhere on this forum some comment about how a FF sensor would inherently have better bokeh (or was it shallow depth of field) as compared with a crop. I can no longer find it, and I have since read conflicting opinions elsewhere. Thus, if an image is captured at the same...

Here's a comparison of relative pixel sizes. Quote from Chuck Westfall (Canon USA Pro Engineering division) via dpreview: (http://www.dpreview.com/articles/5149972341/canon-eos-1d-x-overview) When asked to for the biggest improvement in the new camera, Westfall stresses that every aspect of the...

Fantastic call with the Oct 18th 1D announcement.... you sure got the biggest one of the year right. That's for your many detractors out there!!! Keep it up, Craig!

Out of curiosity and of my current struggles of working out the most efficient way of dealing with my rapidly accumulating photos, how much time/effort do people spend on post-processing in general? I take family/toddler/travel photos purely as a hobbyist. I can see a huge difference in IQ of...

Hello all, Planning a trip on the Maid of the Mist at Niagara in 1-2 months - ride comes with a rain coat, so I'm expecting a lot of spray! What have you found to be useful 'housing' for this sort of thing? I'll have with me a Canon XSi and probably with a 28-70mm f/2.8L lens. I found the...

Need your thoughts please... On my two L lenses, I've currently got B&W 77mm UV filters with the occasional use of the 77mm circular polariser MRC. I've just ordered a 135mm f/2L, which would take a 72mm filter. Should I: 1. Stick with 72mm filters (for those who agree these are useful!)...

Hello all, I recall reading a post about insurance for camera equipment some time ago, although can't seem to find it. Any recommendations for insurance for camera equipment for: 1. Travel from USA to Europe 2. General coverage within the USA (i.e. anywhere outside my home in Michigan). My...

First off, I'd just like to say that I'm reasonably new to this thoroughly enjoyable and informative site, particularly the forums. My question is about whether old "vintage" lenses used on film bodies can be used on canon DSLRs? I got my first L lens just 4 months back (24-70mm), and it's...
