PM sent for the 055XPROB

Went from Canada to U.S.A. two times last year with my tripod (in a soft fabric bag) as "personal item" carry-on and had no issues.


The TSA screener in Springfield, MO, did ask what was inside...

Yes, I have a 8GB card.


The problem is that unless the display contains periods of black sky for me to start a new file, I risk having the camera stop in the middle of an active segment.

Hi everyone,


I just got myself a 7D to replace my aging XTi.


In a couple of weeks, there will be one 15 minutes or so fireworks display each week in my town, and I'd like to film each one...

For me, it's a tie between 85 mm f/1.8 and the Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 (not the new version).


The wide angle perspective always manage to put a smile on my face when I use this lens. It's also...

Yes, but my XTi also increases the RAW size as I crank up the ISO while RAWs are uncompressed images AFAIK...

Actually, there is a control chip on the battery that will shut off the output if the voltage is too low to prevent you from damaging the battery. If a li-ion is discharged completely, it becomes...

Lithium-ion batteries don't need to be depleted between charges, as they don't have the "memory effect" of the older Nickel-Cadmium. Still, they are supposed to last around 3 years and start to lose...

Possibly, but you have to be aware that the resulting lens may not focus at infinity (not nice for a super telephoto) and will not autofocus.

According to Canon's Press Release about a new two-axis IS system, we can suppose that the 70-200 f/2.8 IS will be the first lens to benefit from the upgrade. This would explain all the fuss about it...

Watch out the fees from the delivery company ! They tend to overcharge when it comes to clear the package from the customs. You must pay them when they deliver your package, otherwise you will have...

Yes. If you crop, you lose pixels. You could use bicubic interpolation in PS to increase the resolution by generating additional pixels between the original ones, but the resulting picture will never...

A Sigma representative at the D-Clic expo (in Montreal) told me it would be released in September. I am eager to see how it will compare to the current f/4.5-5.6, as I own it. I had no problem...

I also shoot shows for my university's newspaper. Therefore, I need the 40D's better AF accuracy in low light, as the XTi sometimes hunts for focus in these conditions. I also like the fact that the...

I would be interested to know at which apertures (f-number) they did their tests. As the T1i has a Diffraction Aperture Limit of f/7.6, testing the camera even at f/8 would reduce sharpness due to...

...dead ones ? [:P]


My girlfriend is looking to buy the Canon 100mm Macro. When she does, I might venture in bugs photography, though. For now, I prefer flowers.

At 1:1 magnification, the lens is focussing as close as it can. This is why the working distance is so low. When you reduce magnification, you in essence "reduce" a bigger subject so that its image...

MFD is the distance between the sensor and the subject. Minimum Working Distance is the distance between your lens' front element and your subject when the lens is set at 1:1 magnification.


For...

It would be interesting to see how it compares to Canon's offering, as I don't think anyone would buy both the Canon and the Sigma to do their own reviews.

A three-legged monopod (not as stable as a tripod, though). I also used a wired remote.

I have taken mine during the International des Feux Loto-Québec, a major fireworks competition that takes place each summer in Montreal.


This is South Korea's display. My girlfriend and I...

The raw preview is a JPEG file that's automatically generated by the camera to speed up the review of the pictures you've taken. Therefore, I guess that it applies some automatic treatment to the...

Hi,


I would like to know your tips for using the Noise Reduction feature in DPP. How do you evaluate if there is more Chrominance than Luminance noise, for instance ?


I shoot with a...

Since you want to rent the 70-200 f/4 and you already have 77mm filters (I guess you mean a CPL, as location lenses generally comes with clear ones already), I would suggest you to rent the 70-200...
