I have the EF-S 10-22 mm f/3.5-4.5 USM. I think it's good. But I haven't tried the alternatives.

Ouch! I'll have to blame that I just turned 50... :'(

You get what you pay for. The EF 70-300 mm f/4-5.6 IS USM isn't as good as the EF 70-200 mm f/4L IS USM, but it's not as expensive either. The old 70-300 is weakest at the longest range, so you don't loose much by considering a 70-200 mm lens instead.

I got one non-Canon LP-E6 equivalent together with a used grip I bought. But this battery has the appropriate communication chip inside. The camera displays the same information as it does for a Canon battery, including letting me register the battery if I want to. It has one digit less in the...

If you indeed didn't hold the AF-ON button pressed when actually taking the picture, you wouldn't get any used AF point registered at all. Focusing must be active at the time of exposure for that information to be inserted into the Exif data. It's much more likely that when locking focus, the...

In Sweden, I would turn to Canon's service center Coneva. Aren't their similar centers in your country?

Many of the images here are taken with the EF 70-200 mm f/2.8L IS II USM, if you see that the focal length used is in the 70-200 range.

As others have said - it doesn't matter. Shutter life varies so extensively from one camera to another that it's not important if a camera has been used this or that many exposures. One with 10000 actuations may fail on the next, but another sample of the same model, with 100000 actuations...

Well, as stated above already, more or less, if you add a WFT-E5 to a 7D, you can then either connect a GPS directly to the camera, via cable, or indirectly, via Bluetooth. The latter requires a Bluetooth communication device in the grip's USB port, since the grip itself does not have Bluetooth...

Unfortunately pretty expensive. But it works.

As said above, there are many things you can set on a WFT-E5. Fortunately, you can store five sets of settings in the camera, and then also export settings to files on the memory card in the camera, for later retreival. I configured an FTP transfer to my computer in the network in my house a...

It's not just taking the picture, it's also the question about aiming and focusing. The 7D performed surprisingly well there. Regarding the inevitable noise at high ISO, I'm of the opinion that if that's a problem in action photos, then the action is too dull.

You can use the contrast AF in live view, if that fits into your shooting. It's not fast, but it will still work at f/8, or whatever.

Sports shot under tricky lighting conditions (well, more or less none at all...) with the 7D. Images. You can continue with right arrow if you want to see more.

Rotates on all my Canon bodies that have it too. It's as it should be.
