    should I buy a 7D now for Cad $690

    A friend offered to sell me her 7D (3yrs old) with around 6K clicks on it. The camera looks like new with all the original accessories. The owner allows my to test it thoroughly before I make up my mind. 7D was once one of my dream cameras but now a lot of newer models seem to have better...

    Scratched the rear element of a Canon 24-70 F2.8 I

    I borrowed this lens and took it out for shooting last weekend. The rear lens cap was not tightly screwed on causing the rear element badly scratched with visible coating damage. I have heard that a rear element scratch is detrimental. I put it on my 40D and took some pics. The scratches did...

    Canon EOS 7D or Nikon D7100

    I am planning to upgrade my Canon 40D to a more advanced camera. 40D isn't bad at all but it doesn't come with video shooting features at all. I can save up to around $1K or a little bit more in a few months' time. A friend of mine from Asia said that she could buy me a new 7D (grey market) for...

    Thanks to the kind people here who had helped me to make a decision to choose my 40D which I enjoyed shooting with very much. I made a triptych with 3 photos taken with 50 1.8 and I followed Gavin Hoey's tutorial to edit and merge them to what it looked like in the attachment. Hope you guys...
