Keep dreaming... Read Canon's own paper's on why FF is so much more expensive to produce and you will ignore those wild rumors.

Nissin Di866 had a firmware update a while ago when it had an incompatibility issue with Canon 7D. I notice you have an even newer Canon 60D. This is a new camera; not sure about its compatibility status. You might want to do a check online about this. For a start, do test shots yourself with...

Just because no one here has done it doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Isn't that how Steve Job sells his iMac and iphone - stylish looks! It's your camera; do whatever you want with it. You don't need to ask permission from others.

It is also for people who had switched over from Nikon to Canon like myself. I had quite a few perfectly good Nikon lenses (such as perspective control lens) which I do not want to go for fire sale. So I keep them and use it on Canon camera with an adapter. Because Nikon has developed...

Exposure issue - Your "AV mode 1/250 fixed" setting is probably the culprit; it is almost like "manual" flash setting. While your flash is lighting up the foreground subject, your background is not sufficiently exposed with your Av settings (since you constraint the shutter speed to 1/250 only...

For a crop body, 10mm means 16mm, 15mm means 24mm, 18mm means 29mm in real terms. The few mm in the wide angel side makes a huge difference in coverage. For architectural shots, the wider the better because you are faced with huge object up close (often with no room to back up). This is...

I got a 3rd party from SLR-Revo @ Funan. It is a fully decoded type, i.e. it can be charged using Canon charger with power level indicator working in 7D. It is rated as 5500mAh, Brand is Ex on the box. It costs under S$30, a quarter of what the original from Canon charges for - so far so good...

Both lenses have similar IQ. You can look at various reviews online and decide for yourself. I own the 18-200 IS. It is more versatile due to its reach. If you have a cropped sensor body, the focal length is 18-135 (29-216) vs 18-200 (29-320). There is a whopping difference. As for IQ - at...

If family and travel photography is your main usage, you should be looking for versatility, reach, "less conspicuousness" and compactness. 15-85 is your answer. There was a comment earlier by someone about whether to get 17-55 vs 15-85 with a flash gun (because of lesser f/stop). I would...

Hi Ahchek, I am in almost identical situation like you except I made a switch to DSLR a year earlier. I too played with film SLR for 20+ years, switch to digital PnS for for 5 years and finally switch back to DSLR. The comments given by others are valid. There are a few additional points...

Does anyone know whether the old Hoyarex square filter (76mm wide) will fit into square filter holder of Cokin or Tian Ya System? Searched the web but didn't find any answer. Thanks.

I use Canon 7D with EF-S 18-200 as a standard walk-around lens. 18-200 won't give you the best IQ but it is a very decent lens with fantastic reach. When you are shooting outdoor, carrying other lenses or changing lens may not be a viable option. I went to the Shanghai World Expo a week ago...
