    OFFICIAL: CANON EOS 7D Mark II - User Thread

    I am very interested in this camera and hope to buy it in the coming year. The Canon 7D Mark II will probably be a very popular camera. One US retailer made the comment that they haven't seen as big a pre-order as they have with the 7D2 since the introduction of the Nikon D800. Now that this...

    Canon EF 11-24 f/2.8 - Would You Buy?

    CR is reporting that Canon will be introducing this lens but there is no indication of timing. Regardless of the timing or even of the authenticity of the rumour, would you buy this lens if Canon were to introduce the EF 11-24 f/2.8 particularly if it compared well with the Nikon 14-24? How...

    Canon EF 16-35 f/4L IS

    CR is reporting the likelihood of a new Canon EF 16-35 f/4L IS for full frame cameras to be introduced to the marketplace soon. I'm not sure why Canon would introduce such a lens when the current model has a wider aperture of f/2.8. The added benefit of IS in the new lens does not impress me...

    Fix "TOP" Link at bottom Right Corner of Every Page

    Automatic MicroAdjustment - Canon Patent

    I'm really glad that Canon has registered a patent for Automatic MircroAdjustment and that they are considering this for future camera bodies. If this is well implemented, it would be a godsend for AF issues in the future. One of the weaknesses of the current Micro AF implementation is that you...

    The "TOP" at the bottom of the thread (bottom right corner) is still not working after the last software upgrade. I've mentioned in an earlier post but it remains unusable. Any idea when this might be fixed? Keep up the good work!

    G11 Broken - Recommendation for a Replacement Compact Camera

    I just returned from Israel and brought only my G11 (left the 5D3 at home). There's lot's of theft in Israel... 3 of my group had their passports stolen (one is still there) so I'm glad the 5D3 was left behind. The G11 worked very well until I reached the Negev desert. A day or two prior to...
