Hi Bernie, is this tripod still available?

Thanks Agape, I've already checked out Hardware Zone...but can't find specific prices or locations. Most dealers list prices for smaller LCD screens but not for 24 inch LCDs. Anyone here has this monitor and can tell me where to get one at a good price? Also, how much do you think it's...

Hi, I'm planning to come to Singapore soon and intend to purchase a Samsung 244t (24 inch LCD) monitor. Can anyone tell me where I can find one at a good price? Also, how much is this monitor being sold in Singapore? I've tried in vain to search for retailers online and am unable to find...

I've been based in South Africa for the past one year and from my experience, I'd say that you'd most probably want to get a good telephoto zoom and a superwide zoom for your 300D. I'd highly recommend the 100-400 IS L and EF-S10-22 for your needs. I have the 70-200L IS and find that it is often...

I'm sorry I'm currently unable to post comparative pictures as my other lenses are in South Africa where I've been working for the last one year. I'm now back in Malaysia for a month long break to catch up with family and friends. Since I'm here on vacation, guess which telezoom lens I brought...

WARNING: Lengthy post. Here is a mini-review of the 70-300DO IS which I have recently purchased. I also currently own the EF70-200f/2.8L IS and Leica 80-200 f/4 ROM which I use with an adapter on my EOS cameras. In the past, I’ve owned the EF70-200L f/4 and EF70-200L f/2.8 (non-IS). I’m...

The Canon T90 (1986), jointly designed by German designer Luigi Colani and Team Canon formed the design cornerstone on which all future Eos 1 series cameras would be based on. The hallmarks are unmistakable – curvy lines instead of sharp, boxy edges, superior ergonomics and comfort, and...

Not sure if this is on topic, but here are some interesting links to better understand MTF charts as well as lens design theories. http://www.photodo.com/nav/artindex.html (Photodo.com site) http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/leicahome.html (The Leica Papers)...

Apparently, there's an unspoken rule here that messages to this forum have to be very concise. I sincerely apologise for imposing my lengthy analysis upon you people. Take care, Jonathan

Yes, I agree it's on a different scale. But that doesn't change my conclusions. The EFS is a superior lens. The EFS10-22 MTF chart is based on a camera with a 1.6x Field of View (FOV) camera so the horizonal axis which mesures the distance from the optical axis to the edge of the frame is...

OOps, here are the MTF chart links. The words are in Japanese, but you can understand the graphs anyway. http://cweb.canon.jp/camera/ef/catalog/category/ef_s10_22_f35_45.html http://cweb.canon.jp/camera/ef/catalog/category/ef16_35_f28l.html Cheers guys, Jonathan

Hey guys, the MTF charts on canon japan clearly shows that at least theoretically, the EFS10-22 drastically outperforms the venerable EF16-35L both in resolution and edge to edge sharpness. This is truly good news indeed! Now, if only Canon can meet those theoretical MTF curves by ensuring...

Hi everyone... it's my first time posting here and thought I'd share some thoughts and speculations on the performance of the new EF-S 10-22mm USM lens, seeing that there's been considerable discussion about this long awaited lens. Let me say right off that I’m highly optimistic this lens...
