I must admit that I have never updated the firmware in any of my canon bodies.
I never had an issue to resolve.
With the announcement of the update for the 5DIII, I am rethinking that decision.
...

I agree
I make changes usually in this order: WHITE BALANCE, CURVES, CONTRAST
Saturation and Vibrance colors are usually last.

Thank you

My choice is the 24-70 hands down, it is my wedding lens and I have two of them.
They are on all day.

Specialty shots below 70 I use a 50 1.4 and 24 1.4 for real low light situations (the 24 is...

I agree with Sean
You are lacking the 24-70 2.8 (might be able to get a good price on the older model).
This is my primary wedding lens. I actually have the original and the II.

Thanks

I have the foam and have modified it.
I also use egg crate foam to make some modifications.

But what may be unique is that I have at times taken all the foam out and packed in my fully loaded...

Just a note on the 600 EX RT

Great flash, same relative power of the 580 EX II

I made the change for the RT and for the GROUPS feature.

Let me also say that the flash head is slightly larger...

Personally I use the large MAC 26 27' i5
if I was upgrading I would get the newer model with a flash drive it is faster and more reliable

I also use 16GB RAM with CS5 and I have never had a...

Enjoy the 600EXs I bought three about 4 months ago. I packed up my other PocketWizards and never looked back.
I was always having some issue with connections and not firing. I have not missed a...

I read in one of the posts that the 1Dx will achieve a quicker autofocus time than the 5DIII because of the extra battery power.
This discussion I believe was in relation to the 85 1.2 which is...

Traditional photography sales is well past its prime.
Weddings and senior photos are the last public arena for sales.
To survive you are going to have to be really really really exceptional,...

I echo Mark on the need to start giving some feedback other than 'nice photo'
I read Marks comments and I learned from his comments.

My comments

#1: I personally like the group positioning,...

Well I read some of the replies to my offer and I decided to give this a try.
I will try to pass on some of my mistakes, and lessons learned from my years of wedding photography.

If this helps at...

To be honest my interest in this forum has been decreasing over time. I have been a member since 2008 and I still check the forum every day, but I am finding less and less that I am interested in. ...

I am glad that you took the critique on the positive side.
Too many times I see false praise when that does you no good to develop and progress.
I will be glad to look at some more of your photos....

I have studied your photos and will give you an honest critique.

Watch your backgrounds: I usually ask the minister to step to a side for ring exchange, vows, and the kiss.
Else you end up with...

I do weddings and have done so for years with all sorts of bad light.
I've come to expect that bad light during the ceremony is the rule.
I would be glad to review some of your shots and give...

I usually travel overseas with too many lenses.
I take the 24-70 2.8, and the 70-200 2.8
this covers my range quite well
Then I take a 24 1.4 for indoor no flash, and I sqeeze in the 17-40 for...

Do you still have the box
when and did you purchase it
Did you buy it new?

Would consider but I don't live in NY.

If you cant get the 200 F2.0 the next best lens is the 135 f2.0
great lens for indoor sports, just make sure you use single spot focus.

I understand that some some or all of the 1D series have the ability to not only move the autofocus points but that these peripheral points then can also be used for metering. Thus moving the...

Invest the time needed to understand the AF options.
I am an avid user of a single focus point, but have expanded to some other options with the 5D MARK III

It is so much more than an upgraded...

Did I mention that the 5D III is a remarkable machine.

I base most of this on the advanced AF system.
My out of focus shots even in low light has dropped dramatically,
and I would venture to...

Thanks for all the great discussion. This is why I keep coming back to this forum.

I would settle for some inaccuracies in the DOF calculation it would not have to be exact.
Like I said maybe...

Yes I have used the DOF preview button but it is not the same. If I had the data I would have a better handle on how to fix the problem.
The data would be much more valuable.
