    Re: Is f2.8 the same as f2.8?

    There would be, but it's not as meaningful to most of the people point and shoots are primarily targeted toward, so it's not explicitly stated. To find the "35mm equivalent" aperture, you simply...

    Re: Anyone with 7D and 430EX Flash... Help

    That is an informative video, but the script is not entirely accurate in regards to there being absolutely no built-in flash in remote-only mode. It's weak, but it's there.


    Incidentally, Nikon's...

    Re: Anyone with 7D and 430EX Flash... Help

    That is unfortunately how the wireless speedlite on the 7D works. There is no infrared(IR) triggering, only using visible light from the built-in flash.


    If you set the flash settings to external...

    Sometimes it's better to keep the peace and delete the files, then restore them when you get home [6]

    However, for shootingvideo on my 7D, adjusting white balance in post is a hassle, so for those...

    Re: Where does Canon go from here?

    This is almost the approach Ricoh is experimenting with on their GXR. It has a body (w/ supposedly good ergonomics) that accepts sensor/lens modules. Currently, the lens and sensor come together, I...

    Re: 7D bells and whistles

    One of my favorite features that hasn't been mentioned yet is the orientation-linked AF points. To me that is killer!


    And the screen is indeed beautiful, I'm glad Canon is updating all their...
  9. Re: center focus point or selective focus point ?

    Well, selecting a focus point to cover your subject is the "proper" technique. Focus and Recompose will always throw your subject out of focus, unless you have enough depth of field to make up for...

    Re: Second off camera flash

    The 580exis a beast!

    Amazon has the 430exII for $255 when...

    Re: Nikon finally gets a 24mm f/1.4

    I wholeheartedly agree, and just one of the reasons I stick with Canon. The Nikon F mount is a confusingmash-upof fading legacies. Canon EF would let me use the newest lenses (even with IS) on my...

    Re: "TOO MUCH CAMERA" .... is there such a thing???

    I happen to agree with you on the importance of focus, but other people have more important factors (say they focus manually).


    ...And let's remember that since we are using the EOS system, focus...

    Re: image quality and noise on 7D

    For starters, the 7D places higher demands on the sharpness of your lens than pretty much any camera out there. This is mitigated somewhat by the crop factor when using full-frame lenses, since you...
  14. Re: When an outdoor shot has to be captured, no exceptions, do some HDR work

    Yeah that is quite an improvement. As someone who is new to HDR, can you give us some insight into what you used to combine the images? Did you shoot RAW?
