    Help : Need Battery

    Thanks to the both of you :) Appreciate it! Should I be worried that there will be no more supply of batt for the old gen of the 1D? Since all the pros have already switched to Mk-IIIs and IVs....wonder if 3rd party makers will continue the old batt.

    Comments on Low Light AF with 1.4X II

    Thanks charlesleong, yup, one stop smaller. All 45 AF sensors should still work. So, you've tried this combination before? what was your assessment? any slower? I've heard that no matter what, AF speed will be slowed by about 30~50%...super scary for my intended application. I am not asking...

    Comments on Low Light AF with 1.4X II

    Hi, I have never use a teleconverter before so asking for some feedback here. I'm thinking of getting the 1.4X II converter for the 70-200 f/4 and not overly worried about the level of degredation (if any) of image quality. My biggest concern is if there's any significance loss of AF...

    Newbie reporting!

    HI hothatch, to be honest, ANY DSLR will give much much better image quality than non-slr ( excpet for the Sigma p&S using APS-C sized sensor) hehe this is by virtue of the much larger size of the sensor. So, if image quality ( or 'hi resolution shots' as you put it ) is your priority, then...

    Wedding Photos not Received

    if the photog does not state the reason for the delay...eg, waiting for the printer, waiting for the coffe table book to get done....etc. AND just keep comign up with excuses.....( missing meet up time! ) , I think it is reasonable to assume something is fishy. Anyway,SnowSkin, you are...

    interested to learn

    most direct way is to enroll in a Wedding Photography course. However, be warned, such courses assumes you have a good foundation in basic photography already. I hardly ever hear of 'Beginner Wedding Photography Course' . Dun worry about equipment first, a good instructor will advise you what...

    Full Frame DSLR

    FF and croped sensor is not 'better' or 'worse'. I think most ppl would like to think FF is 'better' because for the same resolution (mpx) , the FF sensor is able to give a better SNR in that each 'pixel' is of a larger size. If you ever shot film , that is FF. Really no big deal. Just use...

    shopping for DSLR

    I just checked out the Alpha 350, it is very good for ppl who are still getting used to shooting through an optical viewfinder. The live-view is very good on this (I think there is a Alpha 300 with same functions...just less mpx) . In live view, the AF response is exactly the same as when...

    1d mk2 fail @ 50+k

    I lent my newly acquired used Mk II to my buddy for the Sepang F1. It's his first time using Canon camera and only received 5 minutes of instructions on how to operate the basic functions -- even then , he brought back more than 1000 photos. The Hi-Speed continuous mode is a very tempting way...
