    EOS - M3

    Thanks user12343! Sure, I am not worried at all, just a bit disappointed. As I am trying the M3 out, been comparing it with my old EOS M. On M, there's no issue viewing the RAW pics, even zoom all the way to 100%, and no issues on any other DSLRs I've been used before. Anyway, hope Canon will...

    EOS - M3

    Got M3 Kit I at Cathay. Anyone know where to get the latest firmware update? Feels like the M3 software is not really ready before the push out....menu design really bad... The biggest issue: when set to shoot RAW only, the camera itself cannot decode the raw pics properly, and when zoom in...

    50-150 2.8 OS or 70-200 2.8 OS? Should I downgrade?

    The long waited 50-150 OS is finally out, after I've bought the 70-200 2.8 OS for almost a year already. I have no intention to go fullframe, and already got the wonderful 8-16 and 17-50 2.8 OS. Been really really happy with the IQ of the 70-200 2.8 OS, but the 70mm wide end is far too...

    Sigma 8-16mm ! !

    The paint job on my lens hasn't given any problem so far. The perspective "distortion" is not from the lens design flaws, the lens' optical performance is great, not much distortion, as in straight lines still quite straight, even at the edge or corner. The perspective distortion is...

    Sigma 8-16mm ! !

    Been using that lens for nearly one year. So far no complains at all. Build quality is solid, image quality is quite satisfying, though can be better. However, its performance already out-race many other similar lenses (according to reviews and comparisons). However, you do cannot use any...

    Where to buy relatively cheap and nice photo frames?

    Can any experts enlighten me about where or which shop to look for nice A4 photo frames with reasonable prices? Would like to hang the frames on the wall at home, require about 20 to 30 pieces. Thanks in advance!

    What just happened to my 50mm 1.8?

    From ur pics, it seems the aperture blades are jammed, as mine did...:S Even though u set aperture to 1.8 or 2.0, the actual image captured is at very small aperture value. If you notice the viewfinder is significantly dimmer, and focusing is sometimes difficult, jammed aperture blades...

    can i ask a silly question?

    Even u can buy the rubber ring as spare part, u only solve the sealing between the lens and ur camera. The lens body is still not weather-proof. Like the bucket theory, the shortest piece of wood determined the capacity of the bucket. If one part (any part) of your camera+lens is not weather...

    Len Calibration in SG Canon ...

    Maybe you should try to test the lens first to confirm where is the real issue. It may be from the lens back/front focus problem, just shoot a scene with series of objects extened near to far. If the object at the focus point is blur, and some other object nearer or farther is very "Sharp"...
