Thanks for linking me to the manual, was hoping there might be more detail. Lexar card should work fine, and indeed seems to in my 1DX3. I'm hoping this is the route cause of the issues as don't really want hassle of claiming warranty - obviously will if I need to!! Just shooting in JPG. Has...

Just to say further to this the other card I use where I appear not to have had any problems is an "Integral 128GB CFexpress Memory Card Type B" Oh and with my 1DX3 both cards work fine, including the Lexar. Only a problem in the 5DII it seems. Does Canon have a recommended CF Express card...

Couple more weekends of use with R5II in the bag. Few more "issues" to report which like my post earlier I hope are all relating to the memory card - a Lexar 512GB Professional Silver SE CFexpress Type B, bought new from Amazon. Fully formatted and also done in-camera before use. - Memory card...

Looking through my shots from the weekend with my R5ii - captured this beauty?! WTF LOL. Any idea what caused this?

I've always enjoyed the Canon 1D series, had a a few variants over the years, currently have a 1DX3. All have felt so rugged and capable, the sound of the shutter slapping away is kind of satisfying. Can hammer in nails with them, never let me down and thus always been a pleasure to use :-)

Not posted for donkeys but been browsing around reading up comments/reviews on mirrorless and EVF etc. I've just got myself a R5 Mk2 and 100-500 lens, first time out at the weekend. Some really nice features but having been so used to DSLR controls and optical viewfinder its definitely going to...

I liked my old 400mm f5.6 lens, so much so I wrote a few words about it here - http://www.ae-photography.co.uk/canon-400mm-f5.6-lens-review.html - by all means have a read maybe it helps. Since then the 100-400 Mk2 has come out and I would say IQ and AF on both is comparable, plus with the zoom...

I really need to make the effort and do this some day! Some mega shots in here and posted previously. Just so far away from me down here in the south!!

Ideally it's best to be as close to fence as possible, with as much reach as possible and using the widest aperture possible - that would be the ideal. As jurbie says the sun can reflect and make it more noticeable so overcast is quite good or find a spot where the fence is in shadow. Quite a...

Used the 80D in anger for the first time yesterday paired with a 100-400 II and was quite impressed I must say. AF seems a bit better compared to the 70D and it looks like noise control is a bit better too, especially above ISO 800. Because of the gloomy weather I went to ISO 2000 and images...

She's in my hands! Picked up quite late today though so was dark by time I got home. Have taken a few shots inside with a 100-400 II but nothing to properly test it yet. Does handle nice, very much like the 70D as expected. Can't seem to get the NFC working properly yet though, may need to...

I should get my hands on one later today. If I do I'll be using it tomorrow and Sunday. Be interesting to see how the AF performs!

I'm quite tempted to do exactly same as you - swap my 70D for 80D. Not available until end of month though and I need my 70D until then so can't firm up exchange with Jessops... doh. Seems to be quite a bit of interest in the 80D, much more than previous xxD updates. Not really sure why though...

I've had quite a few cameras over the last 3-4 years. Now I'm using a 1DX and 70D. Both serve their purpose very well. 70D is handy because it's more compact and also has Wifi which I find very handy. Also 1.6 crop sensor gets closer to the action - often use it with my 400 2.8 and the 1DX with...

I do mine low and slow - did a joint yesterday for about 6 hours. Browned up in a pan (couple of mins max) with spices and a bit of alcohol and Worcestershire - then covered in the oven on 120/130 for ages. Pretty much pulls apart and stays moist - luvly jubly :-)
