Hi, to cut a long story short: - after having started to use DSLRs five years ago with a used 5D classic, - I switched to a much more modern 70D, but then - I missed the full frame sensor, and since - the 6D Mark II was not available - I bought a used 6D. For my recent trip to Australia, I...

Centuries ago, my parents bought me a film SLR. I liked its viewfinder, but I was too lazy to learn how to use it: I shot in Full Auto mode. ::) ::) ::) In 2004, I bought a Canon Powershot A80, and the film camera was soon buried in my cellar. :-[ In the meantime, after a Powershot S5, I...

Considering the ageing population of the people living in the developed countries, it could be a good deal. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/03/17/business/corporate-business/canon-agrees-buy-toshiba-medical-unit/#.Vuwo2aNd43x

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law As far as I know, (computer) hardware geeks are upset by the delays of the releases from Intel and by the weak competition by AMD: the latest news seem to begin to contradict the holy Moore's law. I would like to know whether an...

I know my 70D has a significant limitation: it produces JPEG only ::) images using its "in camera HDR" function. I wonder if some of the forumers have tried it (or know about external measurement / reviews) to assess whether this option actually increases dynamic range in a noticeable way...

Looking at Amazon's best selling items gives an idea of market trends. In Italy the EF 50mm F/1.8 is usually the best selling lens, but the present ranking is: 1 Canon EF-S 10-18mm STM @ 238 Eur 2 Canon EF50mm F/1.8 @ 99 Eur 3 Canon EF-S 55-250mm STM @ 198 Eur 4 Tamron 70-300 F/4-5.6 Di VC...

As an Italian reader of this forum, I have learnt several acronyms (not only photografic): AF: autofocus (in Italy we use autofocus as a noun, but not as a verb: "mettere a fuoco" sounds like "to put to focus") AFAIK: as far as I know AFMA: autofocus micro-adjustment BS: Biased Score (thanks...

After 76,643,917,265 topics and 54,781,245,232,107,412 posts (and counting) in this forum about the better performance of SoNikon's sensor at base ISO, I was wondering if even SoNikonians sometimes complain, for example, - about their Lenses price / range - because they don't have STM lenses or...

I recently installed Magic Lantern on my M and appreciated the improved ability of manual focussing, thanks to the focus peaking feature. At almost-macro distance, the 100mm IS Macro L plus focus peaking gave me better result than using autofocus, so now I'm more confident about manual focus...

I'll start confessing mines. In spite of the huge efforts made by the Research And Development Departments of most companies belonging to the Photographic Industry, aiming to offer us better products, 1) First of all, I don't dislike lens flare. I must be a true fetishist in this field...

Basic rule (FF): without IS, shutter speed should be 1/focal length. APS-C rule: without IS, shutter speed should be 1/(1.6 * focal length). What about (APS-C) mirrorless bodies rule, fellow friends from Canonrumors? I suspect that the shutter spead should be much faster, because the camera...

My wife suggests (i.e. orders :( ) light baggage/luggage for our next holidays (Turkey in August, if the country doesn't collapse in the meantime). Possible solutions: i. Take only 5D classic + 17-40mm: 1.2 Kg plus spare battery, battery charger, CFs, sensor cleaning pump; something more...
