Do you have flash? For certain situation a flash can helps a lot. Lot of gears to play but no time to play :cry: In my 'prime' I have more gears than today, mostly EF/S lenses. But now only keep several favorites, and sell the rest. A friend told me that it's OK to have multiple system in my...

What lens you currently have? What kind of photography you interested in? I has an alpha mount a700 with only two lenses, the 1680CZ and 70300G, and it covers all my needs I also has a Canon 7D with 1755 f2.8, but this combo are less used compared to A700+1680CZ. Not a problem with quality, only...

+1 this. Lucky your camera able stand quite long. My 7D died instantly after got view splash from rain (covered by umbrella, but somehow still leaked). After that, I has some worry that the camera somehow not that 'strong' as advertised, and now avoid any splash with any cost. 2.2k is not worth...

the grass is always greener on the other side... I own a 7D, although the camera is quite fantastic, it's bugging me in 2 things: - For sure the camera is not weather sealed as advertised, took it for a quick shot under rain but still covered by umbrella, but maybe some water leaked and the...

I owned a Canon 18-200 before, but not sure if this is only my copy or apply to all, I need to go for f8 to get sharp picture at all length I own a Tamron 18-270, but for my Alpha body. It's also not 'sharp' wide open, but I already get 'sharp' picture at f6.3 down to f8 at 270mm - so, this is...

If you go for 18-200, I also rather go for Canon version than Sigma If you check further, Sigma also has a 18-250 OS HSM, which has longer zoom capability, quiet AF (HSM) and OS (stabilized lens). I rather get this lens than Canon's 18200. Tamron also has 'similar' offer, a 18-270 (longer zoom...

My thought is exactly opposite. I'll look for "Sigma" color tone and contrast, which warmer and richer For me Sigma 35mm f1.4, not even think once...

There is no point to clear 24-105L for the new 24-70 f4 Both are f4, but 105 has longer coverage (and it's already has IS) Choose between these two, surely I'll choose 24-105L Actually, I see no point to release this new lens.

Check the price in http://www.jpckemang.com But the price listed there normally more expensive than street price Since nearby my counterpart office in Jakarta; I always go to the Ambassador Mall, lot of camera shop there. Just check their price and compare. Compared to Singapore, these shop...

Ah, you correct; my mistake :p Yes around 4.7K SGD, 5DIII with 24105L

Last week, I just back from Jakarta, and a friend requested to buy 5DIII for him in Jakarta. The shop gave me IDR 37,000,000, which roughly converted to around 3,700 SGD 1 year ago I also bought my 7D from Jakarta (different shop) together with a 2470 L cost me IDR 24,000,000 (with rates that...

I knew, that's why I wrote "regardless" :)

Regardless, they able to maintain status quo for the last 3 years (I counted from the release year of 7D, with assumption 5D MkIII is 7D in FF)

In the spirit of MK2, a friend want to sell his 5D Mk2 for 1500$ (or 3000$ together with 24-70L) Only too bad, he is want to sell it fast since he want switching camp, and I has no money left until Dec/Jan (bonuses time :) )

Again this is only a "rumor", although my friend is an employee, he is not a decision maker (moreover he's more to factory person, a machine-modeler). The president and CEO of Canon still the same person (Fujio Mitarai), are you referring to regional CEO (or SG maybe)? The Canon advertisement...
